Concrete Look Tiles for Modern Bathroom?

 I had been debating over what tiles to use for my latest bathroom renovation project. I wanted something clean, modern, and of course it had to match with everything in the room. My client was living in a sprawling Penthouse on the Upper East Side of New York City. I was playing back and forth with the idea of using Natural elements such as "Alerio Stone Ardesia" Bluestone for the floor. But what should I do for the wall? Then it hit me! Concrete! I love it! It was industrial, contemporary and simple. What a perfect combo. Stone Ardesia Bluestone on the floors and poured concrete on all the walls. For the poured concrete walls, I used a product called "Alerio Ciment Grey This porcelain tile uses shinny and matte combinations to create a semi-gloss effect. The semi-gloss effect gives the illusion that the Concrete is "Still Drying". Perfect! That combined with rectified edges ensured that I could use very tiny grout lines. Who wants grout? Yuk! The end result was fantastic. See for yourself.. Do you think Concrete tile is a good look for a modern bathroom? Here the address on where to get it!!!!
