Get Zen: Unexpected Ways To Make River Pebbles Work Beyond Tile Flooring




Home is where the Zen is. Well, at least for monks it is. River stones are more than just rocks; they’re ancient representations of strength, naturalism, and serenity. Historically found in Buddhist temples and Japanese landscape gardens, stone arrangements are used to mimic aqueous scenes that honor water elements, such as streams, waterfalls, ponds and their natural landscape. If you’re looking for an unexpected twist on ceramic tiles and tile flooring , here are some inspiring ways to ground your bathroom, kitchen and garden with East Asian-inspired river pebbles:

Kitchen Backsplash
Take a holistic approach to organic by thinking beyond groceries. Try our hand-chosen, beach-harvested Black Pebble mosaic as a textural backsplash in a clean, white kitchen.


Shower Flooring
A surprising place to find smooth, tumbled stones. Recreate a spa experience on your shower floor with flat, stone mosaics—easy on the feet (and on the eyes.)

Patio Deck
Rethink tile flooring and standard terrace touches with our terracotta pebbles. The warm earth-colored mosaic is a natural complement to pools, shrubbery, and the perfect setting for summer parties.
