All Decked Out -- Outdoor Tile Murals

Oct. 14, 2008 - PRLog -- Alicia Tapp Designs presents .... Outdoor tile murals-------
A new and exciting way to have a dramatic focal point outdoors on the floor or walls of
your patio.
Imagine a dining room far from the kitchen heat, a reading nook with natural light,
a place to restore positive energy, a room with bragging rights. All this could be as
close as a backyard .What could be more enticing than a group of people gathered around
a fabulous outdoor patio grill with a Tuscan Landscape tile mural as a backdrop or
a porcelain tile rug for the patio floor between 2 outdoor couches that is patterned
in an Oriental, Moroccan, or Southwestern theme.

  Patios provide private sanctuaries for family and friends, and offer an interlude
from frenetic activities of the main house. Patios are getting decked out in fun things
which reflect the inside of the home that bring the inside outside. Tile murals can
fit any style or theme and can coordinate with furniture, fabrics or wallpapers or
beautiful scenery. A new and exciting way to showcase a collection of vintage labels
as a theme-- The standard International or California or if a new wine has been developed,
a label to reflect the homeowners love of wine. Fruit crate and orange crate labels from
Florida or sunny California are dramatic and distinctive and lend a vintage air to the
surroundings. A green thumb? The addition of seed packet labels and botanical floral
prints can set the stage for a garden or outdoor kitchen with a cottage feel.
A world traveler? The destination for Vintage hotel, airline, train or boat
labels might be just the "ticket" for a backsplash. Vintage posters are not just for
indoors, reduced down to small tiles or enlarged into multi tile murals they are a
dramatic focal point. Beer labels are a particular favorite and coordinate with
whiskey and liqueur labels.

The porcelain tiles are a welcome addition to homeowners because they are
architecturally treated and have a 15 year UV protection warranty. Since they are
not hand painted or kiln fired , the costs are exceedingly lower and murals can be
customized and personalized.

Upon hearing that home owners can have any image, any size tile mural or tile display,
outdoors, they will likely get the urge to rush to furnish their patios around a
dramatic image transferred onto porcelain tiles.
