Top Picks: Tile Bar’s Crackle Glass

Fratantoni Interior Designers • November 16, 2016

What is it that makes a crackle glass ceramic tile so enchanting?

Legend has it that the Song Dynasty was the first period to embrace crackling or crazing as an art form and the first to view it as an enhancement rather than a flaw. The craze effect gives the tile an added dimension and allows it to sparkle. We are obsessed with Crackle Glass and decided to share our top three picks!

It’s all about finding beauty in the most unexpected places.

Why Luxury Custom Homes Need Architecture Interior Design and Construction to Work Together

By Josie Fratantoni • April 15, 2026

Building a luxury custom home requires more than strong ideas in separate phases. It requires architecture, interior design, and construction to work together from the beginning. In high end residential design, every decision affects another, which is why a more collaborative process often leads to a better final result. A ceiling detail can influence lighting. Cabinetry design can affect framing and electrical planning. Material selections can impact installation, timelines, and architectural detailing. When these disciplines are aligned early, the home feels more cohesive, more intentional, and more fully resolved. At Fratantoni, our in house teams at Fratantoni Design, Fratantoni Interior Designers, and Fratantoni Luxury Estates work together to create luxury homes that are thoughtfully developed from concept to completion.

By Jessica Fratantoni • April 7, 2026

Building a custom home is one of the most exciting opportunities a homeowner can experience. It is a chance to create a residence that reflects your lifestyle, aesthetic, and long term vision in a way that feels deeply personal. For luxury homeowners, that process should be intentional from the very beginning. Every room, finish, architectural detail, and functional feature should work together to create a home that feels cohesive, elevated, and entirely custom. One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make when building a new home is waiting too long to involve an interior designer. Many people assume interior design begins after the floor plan is complete or once construction has already started. In reality, the most successful luxury homes begin with interior design much earlier in the process.
