Inspired by the incredible marble flooring surfaces in and around Venice, Italy, the tiles reflect the design and style of old Italian marble mosaic floors.<\/p>\n<p>Encaustic cement tile has been making a Renaissance of its own and Villa Lagoon Tile has been happy to be a part of that revival. Owner and designer Lundy Wilder created the Floors of Venice collection after returning from a short holiday trip to Venice. \u201cSeeing those magnificent floors in Venice&#8230; everywhere: in the churches, stores, public squares and walkways; it was amazing. I was totally inspired to replicate some of these themes in tile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new tile line with names like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/cement-tile\/patterns\/saint-marks\/\">St Mark&#8217;s<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/cement-tile\/patterns\/murano\/\">Murano<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/cement-tile\/patterns\/savona\/\">Savona Venice<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/cement-tile\/patterns\/treviso\/\">Treviso<\/a> captures the major colors and design concepts of the Venetian floors. \u201cColors were integral to new tiles,\u201d says Wilder. \u201cThe colors used in many homes in the US include beige and tan and the tones of our Venetian tiles are authentic but are also are very compatible with these neutral tones.\u201d The tiles are 20cm x 20cm (8\u201dx8\u201d) and weigh about three pounds each.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/cement-tile\/series\/venetian\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px;\" title=\"The Floors of Venice\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villalagoontile.com\/images\/venetian-tile\/venice-tile-bar.png\" alt=\"Several Tiles in the Floors of Venice Collection\" width=\"622\" height=\"140\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Known for their vibrant colors and intricate designs, the tiles are also known as Cuban tiles, Pasta tiles, Moroccan tiles or Mexican tiles. Designers and architects have found them to be a terrific way to add style and character to open spaces. Villa Lagoon Tile has been installed in numerous large commercial projects that include the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston, the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica, California, the Omni Hotel in Nashville, the Ralph Lauren retail store in Holetown, Barbados, and the Drake Hotel&#8217;s new &#8220;Drake One Fifty&#8221;
