May 2, 2008Ann Sacks Rocks! Just got a press kit from Ann Sacks featuring all of the incredible new designs the company introduced at the recent Kitchen/Bath show. The colorful Paccha line (see red and white tile above) is the real Moroccan deal, handmade in Marrakech. I’m not sure where I would put this bold flooring—perhaps in a powder room? Kitchen? Probably a small space to pack a punch. Also love the carved stone by Robert Kuo (see the Hua, or “bunches of flowers,” design above). It’s marble hand-chiseled with subtle Chinese motifs that feel both modern and ancient at the same time. Finally: the Perennial line of ceramic mosaics (see the royal blue and white photo above). What a cool alternative to wallpaper. —GINA BAZER

Ann Sacks really continues to innovate. I love these patterns and appreciate that they're different. Ann Sacks (and another favorite, Urban Archeology) are expensive, but you can use them to create a 'tile rug' in front of the sink or in an otherwise unusual way to bring interest to an otherwise more neutral (and less expensive) space.

When design takes priority, the result is often strange closets.
