To celebrate Earth Day, urban nest is posting all things green this week! Stay tuned for ideas, inspiration, and how-tos as the week continues.
Cork tiles from Habitus installed in my powder room.
You could say the project I’m sharing with you today started about 3 or 4 years ago when I combed through Domino’s first “green” issue. I ear-marked a page featuring a recycled cork tile that I absolutely loved and dreamed of having when I someday owned a home. Well, this past fall the time came to redo our powder room. Among other things we ripped out the old medicine cabinet, installed wainscoting, and painted. All of these projects were fun but the part I looked forward to most was installing the new floor.
I ordered my coveted cork penny tiles from Habitus in New York and got to work. It was simple to install and grout. Soon afterwards I was marveling at my handiwork. The best part is that the cork is 100% recycled and it gave our powder room a fresh, fun look. For more information, visit www.habitusnyc.com.

Hi Carina,
Not sure if you knew…but this is Stephanie from Ink & Paper. This is a separate venture from my stationery work-I’m so glad you came across and left a comment!
Hi Stephanie,
Nice to stumble upon your blog from the decor8 blog class. I really enjoyed this post on the cork tiles and your tie-in with this to Earth Week. Thank you for adding the product link. You have given me a great idear for my small powder room also.
Hi Melissa,
Glad we could provide some inspiration! The tiles are very easy to install, especially in a small space. The great part is you “tile” them like regular tile, but no need for any heavy equipment, because you can cut with a utility knife.
Best of luck with your project,
Stephanie
