Spanish brand [El Barco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xian-collection) recently released a Music wall tile line that lends itself to customization. The [mix-and-match wall tile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ink-collection) range "evokes a handmade look while being manufactured using new digital technology." El Barco makes its Music line available in six pastel colors, including contemporary favorites such as soft pink and butter yellow. The muted shade of the tiles contributes to creating a bright space while also accenting the [delicate textures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osso-bottone) of each unit. This combination contributes to the style with a sense of elegance.
