It’s All In The Details – Tile

In the second of our three-part series on selection tips, we want to focus on tile. Backsplash, shower walls, and flooring are just a few of the many uses for tile since it is beautiful, durable, and timeless. Sometimes considered a small part of the design, it has the potential to make a big impact on the design. Here are some helpful tips when choosing tile.

Budget

This is always an important factor when making a selection, and it’s essential to discuss it at the beginning so those assisting you during this process know what to show you. Keep in mind that the more custom and unique the tile, the higher the price point.

Material

Are you looking for a sleek tile or a textured tile? Both have their place in design, but some are more durable than others, so it is important to keep that in mind. If you are looking for a backsplash, looks and budget are the biggest things to consider, but if you want tile flooring, then you need to think about whether the material is easily scratched or slip-resistant.

Style

Did you want a simple subway tile design, a unique mosaic look, or maybe you wanted a pattern created by geometric shapes? This can add visual interest to your space and make a great focal point.

Color

Tile is an easy way to add a pop of color to a space or make a subtle statement in the design. A white kitchen can come alive with a soft blue backsplash, or a mosaic pattern can create a beautiful design in the master bathroom.

Tile remains a popular choice for homeowners. It is a timeless design element and is often considered an eco-friendly option for those who want to use sustainable building materials. Greenbrook Design is an authorized dealer for multiple companies that offer a range of styles, colors, and materials. No need to schedule an appointment, just pop over for a visit and browse our selections.

Made To Last: What is a Karran Sink?

Design Notes

The kitchen sink is probably one of the most important elements in the kitchen, since it’s where we wash dishes, rinse food, and wash our hands. There are so many options, such as stainless steel, porcelain, and ceramic. Then, of course, there are multiple styles and sizes. At Greenbrook, we are always looking for new items that will meet a need for our clients, and sinks definitely are one of them, which is why we are an authorized dealer for the Karran Sinks.

Upcycling & Bold Colors: What is Grand Millennial Style

Life, Styled

Old meets new to create a blend of something beautiful, which is one way to summarize grand millennial style. While minimalism is still a popular trend, many millennials are finding comfort and freedom of expression from their beloved family heritage. Grand millennial is a combination of the new with things of the past, like that old wingback chair from grandma’s attic, and breathing new life into it through reupholstering it. This style also pairs perfectly with many people’s desire to recycle and reduce waste by repurposing existing materials. Let’s unpack this style a little more and find out if it is right for you.
