There’s no simpler way to say this: pebbles are popular. ⁽¹⁾ Pebble tiles, tiles composed of pebbles and stones, are a natural fit for anyone who loves the rustic beauty and tranquility of nature. ⁽²⁾

Designing homes in the Lake Tahoe area, I have engaged in a love affair with pebble tiles and recommend them to anyone looking for a unique, organic way to update their home. I believe in layers and textures in design and the blending of the pebble tile’s subtle bumpiness with its smooth surface creates that additional layer of interest.

Whether my client’s design style is clean and modern or classical and traditional, whether her color scheme incorporates blues, reds, and greens or cream, black, and white, and whether she wants a small accent space or a bold feature wall, I find that pebble tiles are a fantastic and flexible design element. ⁽¹⁾

Pebble tiles are decorative natural tiles made of hand-picked and hand-sorted pebbles from the Indonesian island of Bali. These elegant looking mosaic tile stones are made of polished pebble stones and are made by cutting pebbles into halves and fixing them to a mesh backing. ⁽³⁾ They are sold by the sheet in dimensions of 12” x 12” and, with thicknesses ranging anywhere between 3/8” – 5/8”.
