Floor Tiling IdeasTiled marble floors give a room a formality and stateliness that is in keeping only with the less impersonal rooms of the house. Black and white tiling is very smart, and may be used as the keynote for a beautiful decorative scheme. Visualize the following room: White walls with paneled moldings in black, a cornice in black and white with a white ceiling; under-curtains of black velvet and over-curtains of soft heavy ivory silk to the sillan ultra modern arrangement in contradistinction to the usual thin under-drapes and heavy over-curtains. Upholstery of black, clear green and orange edged with bands of the green, with a single note of vermilion. An entrance hall, a reception room, a tea house, breakfast room or porch, any of these would carry such a scheme admirably. Large square red tiles make the best flooring for the piazza and the porch. They are easily kept clean, are substantial and add more to the room than a stone or any white floor. In addition, they combine well with almost any color.
