WOW Designs creates the Melange collection of 15 ceramic tiles that allows users to bring tapestry-like looks and ombré effects to walls.

Melange is the latest collection from Spanish brand WOW Design, a line of ceramic tiles that can be paired together to create striking representations of painterly ombré effects. While high-gloss tiles remain a staple, there?s a renewed interest in more muted looks. Yet rather than pull from the archives to reference previous offerings, the designers turned to another form of adornment for inspiration. ?We wanted to bring the essence of textiles to the walls,? the studio shares, ?A big tapestry in the style of a work of art that encircles our living spaces.?

The designers were captivated by the different types of yarns and dyes of tapestries that blend in gentle progressions from one hue to another. Melange fuses art and technology to bring similar variations indoors. Each piece is made of white body ceramic that allows the lighter glazes to pop. The durable tiles are also suitable for commercial interiors because they are stain- and UV-resistant.
Standard square tiles are perennial favorites, used for almost every application. Yet specifiers are now requesting options that they can use in different sequences, and Melange offers an alternative. The 4.2- by 21.3-inch rectangular wall tiles have a matte finish, a seamless canvas for users to experiment with.

The color transitions change the appearance of walls and make space...
