Ashton

150 150 Taylor Tedford

Element Surfaces Ashton is a versatile color that pairs beautifully with coral and teal in this kitchen design.  Crisp white walls in Benjamin Moore’s Chantilly Lace, white cabinets and a modern tulip table keep this space feeling fresh, while allowing the lighting and art to take center stage.

The beautiful painting featured in this mood board is called “Graceful Exit” by Kelly Johnston, but any art in this color family that suites your tastes can be used to help you create your element with Ashton!

Ventana

150 150 Taylor Tedford

This soft and sophisticated design was created with a shared sister’s bathroom in mind. Ventana is a pale neutral surface that leans towards blush making it the perfect choice to create an inviting and girly space. Lisa coupled it with soft white cabinetry to create a feminine, pretty space that is also hardwearing for busy growing kids.

The blush accents in this design really draw together to create a bathroom that will suite both adolescence and young adulthood, and Ventana offers the durability to withstand both.

Presidio

150 150 Taylor Tedford

Element’s Presidio is a creamy white and grey neutral quartz reminiscent of oyster shells. This countertop pairs so beautifully with the popular Urbane Bronze paint from Sherwin Williams, a dramatic, complex mushroom color. This paint would be stunning on either cabinets or walls, especially contrasted with antique brass fixtures in a bathroom.  

Marble tile with warm and cool color variations and plenty of veining also compliment Presidio and could be used as a backsplash behind the mirror, on the floor, or in the shower.

Kingsman

Kingsman could be used to create the perfect element as a countertop, sink and backsplash in a butler’s pantry or study with a wet bar. It offers a stunning backdrop to black cabinetry with brass hardware, as well as a brass faucet and one or two of these gorgeous Jonathan Adler chandeliers.

Cobblestone

150 150 Taylor Tedford

There is something so delicious about cool grey paired with the warmth of wood! Cobblestone gives a cool, modern vibe to rustic elements – just imagine this countertop with white lower cabinetry, wood shelves above for dishes, and this stunning wood shiplap hood over a sleek stove.  A patterned backsplash tile brings in a graphic punch as well as a colorful piece of art to give this space some personality and tie it all together.

Cardigan

150 150 Marketing

Cardigan quartz is a beautiful alternative to soft and porous soapstone. The combination of this dark and lovely countertop material and white cabinetry is a classic pairing.  A touch of brass on the appliances mixes up the metals in the room and keeps it interesting, and adding statement lighting like the iconic Darlana linear lantern along with some warm, rustic wood tones creates a timeless kitchen that family and friends are sure to linger in.

Casco Bay

150 150 Taylor Tedford

For Casco Bay I envision a serene bathroom reminiscent of a sandy beach in whites and creams, with the jumping off point being the pretty coastal art.  White cabinetry, tub, sinks and subway tile with the soft contrast of Casco Bay countertops and an iridescent accent tile, perhaps as a niche in the shower for shampoo.  A white wood bead light fixture wrapped in twine is a nod to the natural elements and the chrome faucet and tub filler reminiscent of the sunlight dancing across the waves of the ocean.

Newport

150 150 Taylor Tedford

Featuring our beautiful Newport stone as it’s centerpiece, this bathroom offers a modern warmth that is trendy, yet classic. Golden hardware throughout the bathroom will play off the golden tones in Newport, and tie in the various elements of the space. We’ve chosen a stunning charcoal paint to darken the walls and bring attention to the vanity, and an intricate tile that complements the brown and grey tones in Newport, while offering a feminine touch. For flooring we’ve chosen a soft whitewashed “wood” tile that brightens the space and brings an airiness to the room, completing this element.

Delicate Details

The mirror’s gold finish ties in the golden hardware throughout the bathroom, and it’s shape adds a touch of personality and style.

We chose this sconce to offer a soft milky light, because florescent doesn’t look good on anyone.

This rug plays off the shower’s tile, while it’s soft pink and blue tones complete the space.

This stunning tile’s intricate design brings texture to the shower, and ties the rug into the bathroom.

Mixed Media Design

150 150 Taylor Tedford

This Monday, We’re Mixing Things Up

“The trend this year is mixing unexpected materials such as quartz and wood.”

Mixing Stone and Wood in Design, by Element Surfaces

Since the beginning of 2018 the home design industry has experienced a rapid growth in mixed media design. We recognize the importance of countertops as a focal point of kitchen design, so this month we’ve crafted a beautiful Mixed Media element to help you visualize the way you can integrate multiple textures in your space, and take your design to the next level.

Zebrano is a perfect countertop to integrate a natural look and an organic warmth. Its soft tones with light veining are stunning. Torano‘s soft veining won’t feel too harsh in the space, but will allow it to blend well while it’s soft grey undertones will coordinate perfectly with the black hardware that we’ve chosen. In order to contrast the wood countertop, and tie in the Torano we’ve chosen a unique tile floor. Shape is very important to design because of the visual interest that it brings, and this floor does just that.

We would paint the cabinets in this space Silver Marlin (2139-50), it’s soft look adds calmness to the space, and it’s a gorgeous compliment to the Zebrano. Ice Mist (2123-70) will pair perfectly with the light green of Silver Marlin. This white wall color has a greenish undertone that will tie the cabinets in to the space.

We’ve chosen a sleek black faucet with a concrete sink to contrast the warmth of the Zebrano wood, and offer visual interest to the space. Sleek black hardware will pair well with the faucet and bring consistency to the space.

Lighting is the perfect way to add a touch of fun. We’ve chosen these gorgeous circular hanging balls that can be customized to complete your vision.

The ideal bar stool to tie this room together features a wooden seat and metal legs, bringing in every element of your design.
