Design Idea – Tile Coasters. I had a great model (thanks to Bells’ Hopslam for being a part of the shoot).
Those extra tiles from your recent remodel can do a lot more than just take up space in your storage area…they make great coasters. Shown here are extra tumbled marble tiles. I have applied slim felt pads to the bottom of each tile to prevent damage to tables, etc. These make awesome coasters as they are heavy enough to stay in place and deal well with both hot and cold exposure. We have also found them to be great bases for pedestal candles. These also look far better than disposable paper coasters, and it is a simple way to reduce consumption of paper products (you can also wash these with ease).
We have taken this idea bigger. You can use larger tiles under planters as a barrier to protect wood floors. We have also arranged a few large tiles directly under a dart board in our basement (classy, very classy) to serve as a guard for the wood table that sits just below the board and as a medium to add some color to a very neutral area.
