Heat Sensitive Tiles

Yes, these tiles change color according to the temperature making your shower a veritable mood ring! We can see so many ways that this kind of a decor element can be taken too far–into the realm of tacky and awful. But done right, with the most sparing of hands, we could see some really interesting applications!

Not to mention the fact that, regardless of whether you would put these up in your home in some capacity, they are kind of cool in their own right! Moving Color creates an entire line of color changing glass tiles, many in some interesting textures. We’ll admit, a lot of the images they have on their site wouldn’t necessarily make it in to our home, but we think that done in moderation these tiles could add a bit of surprise in the bathroom or kitchen!

There is virtually no limit to what you can decorate with color-changing tiles (from Inventables). Daytime cityscapes turn into urban night scenes as the temperature in a room shifts. Notable applications include showers, floors and others surfaces likely to be exposed to temperature variations over time.

While some of these are simply colored and relatively inexpensive there are all kinds of untapped design potentials yet to be explored. Perhaps they would make a good interior design match for an exterior application of some light transmitting concrete.
