Q: recommendation on what to pair with this tile? Looking to do this for the shower tile, needing a complimentary floor tile!
A: I used this tile (ivory) as backsplash in my kitchen. It’s beautiful, received so many compliments. It brightened up my kitchen. I would have shared some pictures if there was an option for attachmentsA: We used a dark brown/grey hexagon stone tile on the floor with ivory grout, We also added a multicolored (browns and creams) mosaic for an accent stripe on the shower walls. I get a lot of compliments. Looks amazing.A: I got a lot of compliments on this tile. It’s beautiful. I use the silver antique mirror tile in the backsplash which is beautiful. I used a 12 in. discontinued tile on the floor. The larger floor tiles are flat, no shine or texture and a little warmer in color than the subway tilesA: Hi, we used a large faux granite tile on the floor that was fairly uniform but had some texture to avoid slipping and some veining that picked up the blue and gray of the tiles.A: Hi Jessica! I did this on the walls with a gray penny round on the floor. I like it! I think navy would be nice too depending on what you’re going for. Sharon -
Q: Does this tile need a bullnose?
A: I used a bullnose on the edges. If it helps, the bullnose is not the typical curved style. It’s more of a straight angle. Order a sample?A: The tile is thin. I didn't use a bullnose. It looks nice without any trim on the edge. I used it on the wall as a backsplash.A: My tile installer recommended a bullnose. I, however, did not use one as I liked the raw edge for a more organic look. The edge's look fine to me. My personal opinion is that the bullnose is outdated.A: I did not use a bullnose but you can use one. It would look nice. -
Q: Do you have trim pieces for this tile?
A: Please see our Santa Monica Bullnose here; https://www.tilebar.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?filtertype=Trim+Bullnoses&q=santa+monica+ivory+ -

Very niceA: No, it’s ceramic with texture and a glaze.A: No, this is more like a hand glazed ceramic tile. Very pretty. I used it as the backsplash in my kitchen.A: No-it's ceramic.A: No -
Q: Is there a trim or railing to match this tile?
A: I ordered biscuit gloss from another manufacturer, and it's a really good match (for color and sheen, can't speak to dimensions).

Bison Beach Bistro comes to life with The Tile Bar.
Riviera Blue Agate and Santa Monica Ivory and Gray share the stage in our kitchen, butlers pantry and laundry room. Each plays a stellar role!

Beautiful, simple and classic.
Beautiful, high quality tile. It's a versatile white that seems to coordinate well with everything. I used it for both the primary and guest bathrooms. In the primary shower it's paired with Nature Tumbled Pebble Lava Black and Azure Mist granite.

Tile was as described and worked perfectly for the kitchen
I had a shipping issue at the beginning, but was handled by their customer service department quickly and professionally. The tiles were packed extremely well. No tiles were broken or chipped.
Easy to handle and install. Very pleased with the outcome.
Again, the customer service was exceptional.
