Listellos are ornamental tiles that are designed to create a very distinctive look. There are differing shapes, colors, textures and materials that provide contrast within a series of tile work. A limitless variety of listellos can be used including travertine, granite, marble, slate, glass, and porcelain. They can be used in borders, backsplashes, floor medallions and murals. Listellos are a narrow tile used to accent an otherwise generic set of tiles. Listellos were used anciently, as far back as 400 BC. Back then it was used as long narrow bands running along the façade of a building. This ancient idea is used in modern times as a scaled down, decorative border, usually used inside the home in conjunction with other wall tiles.
Kitchen and bathroom decoration is the number one equity builder in a home. Listellos can dramatically change the most uninteresting tile layout into a design statement with a worthwhile investment. Listellos borders provide a center of interest as well as much-needed emphasis, the level of which is determined by the scale, color and design of the listellos. It all depends on what kind of effect you want to achieve. A bold selection will seem daring while a subtle, smaller scale choice appears more graceful. To help save money, you may want to consider using listellos with a cheaper assortment of field tiles. The combined effect will still look elegant without the strain your wallet.
When selecting a color scheme, consider the amount of emphasis you are going for. If a dominant emphasis is your goal, you will want to choose high contrasting colors within the same space. Alternately, if a more subtle emphasis is desired, matching listellos to the surrounding tile or choosing muted tones will be the way to achieve that look. Saturation, or color intensity, can give the illusion of depth. A warm color or light tone will seem to project while a cool color or dark tone will appear to recede. Decide on the effect you would like to create with the listellos and match other colors in the room to this decision. Start with something monochromatic, or all one color, and see what looks best. When it comes to enhancing your home’s tile work, installing listellos is the way to go.
