Gone are the days when kitchens and baths were covered in sterile shades of white and light grays. “We opened our doors to color and welcomed the rainbow in,” says Zee Coleman, founder and CEO of Z Collection. With a palette of possibilities, the designer and importer of natural stone and tile is trading traditional formats, like subway and herringbone, for more complex geometric shapes and soft curves. She attributes this trend toward bold mosaics to the increased exposure we have today to different cultures. “Social media has not only connected us but also trained our eyes to appreciate modern and ancient designs from around the world,” she says. By providing the most innovative patterns, shapes and colors, Z Collection helps interior designers maximize their visions. “We’re here for designers who take risks and set trends,” Coleman says.
