Tile Style: Black And White Transcends Time And Design Styles

Classic and effortlessly elegant, the combination of pure black and white has always been a popular choice in home décor, and continues to be today. It meshes well with sleek, contemporary schemes as well as nostalgic, retro looks, cottage décor, traditional styles, and more. Today’s minimalistic trends capitalize on black and white’s simplicity. Also, the absence of other colors puts the focus on texture and pattern. 

The Domino Porcelain Collection from MSI celebrates this classic combination with a line of clean, black and white tiles in varying shapes, sizes, and finishes, including pre-assembled mosaics in geometric and random patterns. One might argue that the simplicity of black and white porcelain tile frees you to be creative in ways you may have never considered before. How will you use the Domino Collection in your own creation?
