Annie Selke’s Barn House in the Berkshires
Note: This blog post was originally published in 2019, and spaces may feature products that are no longer available for purchase.
Earlier this year, we released an exclusive collection of over 200 tiles with one of our favorite designers, Annie Selke. Each tile pushed the boundaries of technology to reinterpret her original textiles and prints. Annie loved the tiles so much, she even remodeled her own home and guest house with them. We are excited to give you an exclusive tour of Annie Selke’s stunning barn house in the Berkshires.

Country Kitchen
Open-concept floor plans are perfect for creating a warm, welcoming environment. By uniting the living room, kitchen and master bedroom, Annie turned this loft into the perfect guest house!
Notice the stone floors? They’re actually all made out of porcelain! The stone look and chiseled edges add stunning, visual interest to every room. While the Versailles shape shown is no longer available in this colorway, try Chester Silver 13 x 26 in. tiles or Chester Cream Versailles for a similar look.
To maintain a cozy look, Annie chose a handmade-look white subway tile for the kitchen backsplash. Its crackle finish lends the perfect amount of softness and charm. Take a closer look below.
The Metallic Master
The architectural travertine wall tile behind the head of the bed proves that tile can go beyond the kitchen or bathroom.
Barn House Bath
Travertine’s variety of finishes and styles make it so versatile that Annie continued to use both natural travertine and stone-look porcelain throughout the master bedroom and bathroom. From the tiled shower walls to the cobbled travertine shower floor, neutral colors unite in this relaxing primary bath.
The shower wall tile shown in these photos is no longer available, but you can achieve a similar look with the Kelli Fontana Kloe Ivory porcelain tile, which is the same size as the ceramic tiles pictured, and features beautiful ivory coloring and patina details for a handmade, organic feel.
From the ceramic wall tiles to the travertine floor, neutral colors unite in this master bath.
Claros Silver Tumbled Cobble is an excellent option for this shower floor. Its tumbled finish makes it a natural nonslip textured stone!

What’s Cooking in Annie’s Kitchen?
We can’t resist a bright, airy kitchen! Light tints of white, tan and grey create a perfect color palette for a timeless design.
Love the look of stone but want the durability of porcelain? Well, you’re in luck! Annie utilized Cassettone Grey Mosaic’s distinguished, stone look without sacrificing longevity.
Spectacular Speckled Shower
Sure, you’ve seen bold tile looks before, but no statement compares to the design in this shower! Featuring mirrored silver splatters on top of a cowhide-look texture, this tile truly commands and deserves your attention.
Lavish glamour is matched on the bathroom floor with the rows of DURAL Chrome Gloss Square Edge. The metallic trim pieces light the room for an elevated finish.
