Morgante Wilson Architects installed intricate trim in this Foyer to add to the formal nature of the space. The walls have a faux finish applied to them in a light gray tone.

Rohan, thank you so much for your question. The walls are actually a custom, textured metallic wall. Sorry we could not provide you with more information!

what size marble tile is that? I think I need 8x8 honed for my space but I can't seem to find it anywhere. 12x12 might be too big to look good

It is a great look. We sell two products that are created for this very look. Our Venato 12x12" polished is used in the attached pictures (it is the white tile). The Venato 12x12" is designed to have a whiter base and when paired with our Nero Marquina polished 12x12" (the black tile in the attached pictures) creates the perfect Harlequin floor.

Our Carrara Venato 12x12" polished is $7.00 a square foot: http://www.thebuilderdepot.com/cavema12sutipol.html

Our Nero Marquina 12x12" polished is $7.95 a square foot: http://www.thebuilderdepot.com/blk-12x-pol-prs.html

Prices are valid through 2014.

Icbugs, 12x12 would be good for an even look like this one; 12x18 would give you more of a brick pattern. We'd recommend discussing the most appropriate texture with your supplier. Thank you for your interest in Morgante Wilson, and we hope this helps with your project!

Than you so much for your speedy reply. I was leaning towards the 12 x 12 tiles. The supplier suggested 18 x 18. I thought these would be too large and over powering for
my 12 by 18 room. In your opinon am I making the correct decision ? This is my one time investment. I value your response.

Thank you for your question, this foyer is very large and located in a significantly sized historic home. Although we do not recall the specific size of this room, it looks to be in excess of 15 x 15 based upon the floor tile.

Karle13, unfortunately we did not do the interior design for this project so we do not have that information. Sorry we could not be of more help to you! Thank you for your interest in MWA.

Ellen, it may have come up as yellow due to the flowers. We do not have this image tagged as either of those colors, but thank you for notifying us.

Floor material? - We are thinking of doing this floor in a 10 feet 8" x 24' foyer. What are the sizes of the tiles here and what are the materials? We are afraid to use marble especially the white as there are many inconsistencies in it. Any other materials would work here?

No Questions - Hello: I just wanted to compliment you on an extraordinary project. Every room is beautiful and the flow from one room to another seems flawless. I get the sense of complete calm and tranquility from looking at these pictures and imagine this house to be occupied by very lucky people who seek relief from a busy and sometimes maddening world. Congratulations on creating such a work art.
