Shades of Gray

The latest designer tiles in the market are Shades of Gray, mosaic tiles designed by Sara Baldwin, the founder of New Ravenna. The beautiful tiles are made from natural stone and showcase different hues of gray (hence the name). Some of the tiles like Chevron, Penny, and Hex have a deep charcoal greystroke while others like Kasbah are comprised of two warm hues like Cashmere and Angora. The darker blue spectrum of gray is seen in Ombre Chevron. Ombre Chevron is made with Zircon, Alabaster jewel glass, and Lavastone. Kelp Forest is another captivating tile. Created from Alabaster jewel glass, its surging design is emphasized by the gray grout which demarcates each blade. Balsato Orvieto is an Italian stone dotted with mini-geodes of quartz. Each of the mosaics is handmade and assembled one piece at a time. They can be installed on both horizontal and vertical surfaces, indoors and outdoors. The glass tiles are ideal for vertical indoor surfaces.

See How Designer Sara Baldwin was Inspired

Sara Baldwin is the founder and creative director of New Ravenna. She was inspired by the color gray because it is one of the most enthralling colors of nature. She says that gray is never a sole color in the objects we use but always fuses with other tones creating elegant vibrancy. Her love for gray and natural elements can be clearly seen in these designs. She blends different features to create lovely color variations. Even the tiles with only two elements have a full spectrum of hues.
