Decorative Bronze Tiles Add Punch to Travertine Floors
When you're talking about something as beautiful as slate or travertine floors, you might not think they need any spicing up with extra elements. But as you can see from the picture, something like these decorative bronze tiles, which are set at the "intersections" of this mosaic, can take a floor from handsome to a look of pure luxury.
Bronze tiles tend to be durable and appropriate for indoor or outdoor settings, and even high traffic flooring areas. As versatile as ceramic or stone tiles, they can be set into backsplashes, wall mosaics, shower and bath surrounds, or fountains as well as floors. Sealing isn't even required for this durable metal, though your dealer may recommend a light coat of paste wax to help the tiles stay bright (remember, bronze tends to develop a patina over time as it is exposed to oxygen).
The tiles shown here are from the Bronzework Studio.

Actually, I think those tiles would be quite striking after the oxidation process. Bronze is an elegant idea, especially in a bathroom I would think.
