“22 Unique Tile Ideas to Brighten Up Your Home”
By Hannah Tan | Redfin Magazine | August 2021
Interior design fans will know that even as trends come and go, tile remains a top versatile decor element that can breathe life into any space in a home, especially if you go beyond tile’s go-to spot on a bathroom floor. And as much as we love tried-and-true subway tile, with so many unique color schemes and patterns to choose from, there’s nothing like a vibrant tile design to showcase your personality in a space. Whether you’re looking to refresh a kitchen backsplash or add some flair to your entryway, we’ve got you covered. We reached out to tile experts from Tucson, AZ, all the way to Markham, ON, for unique tile ideas that you can incorporate into your home interior. Here’s how to mix things up and create a one-of-a-kind look in your home.
“Use remnant slabs to create custom tiles that showcase the natural patterns of stone. Infuse the natural swirling patterns of stone into your tile project with the help of your local stone fabricator. Simply source leftover pieces of stone from larger slab projects and cut those remnants in such a way that your tiles match the prominent stone veins throughout your mural. Sustainable, cost-efficient, and truly one-of-kind.” – Adamo Stone Design
“Catch the Waves”
By Zac Culbreth, AIA Larry Lindner | Qualified Remodeler Magazine | January 2019
Moving a cramped kitchen from a bottlenecked galley to a wide-open living space allows the client, an artist, more room to cook, entertain and work on her creations. The clean look of the new kitchen, achieved with the wavy soffits helping frame the cabinetry and appliances, also becomes a more subdued backdrop to the soapstone backsplash and countertop with their “lightning bolt” veins of white. The Dorado Soapstone installed by Adamo Stone.

“Boston Chops Expands to Downtown Crossing in a Flurry of Leather and Marble”
By Rachel Leah Blumenthal | Eater Boston | May 2018
Look inside the new steakhouse, opening this week on Temple Place. From co-owner Brian Piccini and co-owner/chef Chris Coombs, aka Boston Urban Hospitality Group, the new Boston Chops takes full advantage of its two-story space, playing up the vaulted ceilings with plenty of marble, tufted leather seats, and other stately features that scream “eat fancy steaks here.” (And sure, seafood towers as well.) There are three private dining rooms and three bars, plus a lounge inside of the former bank vault. Keep an eye out for art by Joshua Wilmoth, including a wagyu forehead, ear, and horns around a doorway. Marble restoration by Adamo Stone Design.
“A South End renovation cleverly brings in natural light”
By Marni Elyse Katz | The Boston Globe | February 2016
Unafraid to push the boundaries, a creative couple greenlights an unconventional design. Lark Carrier and Gerry Millet’s minimalist kitchen revolves around a massive island topped with a remnant slab of Brazilian Earthquake granite from Adamo Stone Design in Dorchester. An artfully asymmetric arrangement of cabinetry around the windows offers extra storage. “The design is minimal but still interesting,” architect Meejin Yoon says. Light boxes (like the one at left) on all four floors bring sunlight from windows at the back of the house into the main spaces.
“Double Vision”
By Jeffrey Osborne and Cristina Moniz | Boston Globe | October 10, 2004
This early Draudt Design project combined the Owner's small condo with the unit next door, allowing the young couple keep their roots but find room to grow to accomodate their expanding family and art collection.
By combining their small condo with the unit next door, a young couple keep their roots but find room to grow. When Laura and John Barkan heard that the one-bedroom corner apartment adjacent to their cute but ever-so-small 650-square-foot condominium was going up for sale, they offered to buy it before the unit was even officially on the market. "After almost five years of efficient - or cramped! - living and our first baby on the way, we knew we needed to make a change," says Laura. "We agreed on a few things: We wanted to stay in the city, we wanted a contemporary interior design, and we wanted parking."
Selecting the stone for the kitchen and bathrooms was one of the bigger challenges. "Since we didn't love the most affordable, highly patterned, marble," says Laura, "we made countless visits to Adamo Stone in South Boston and eventually found a dolomite kitchen countertop and white statuary marble for the bathrooms. We were lucky to find remnants of gorgeous marble tile that had enough square footage for both bathrooms."
