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.

If this is not your forever home but just a place you want to flip or only stay a few years, this has an impact on your design choices and budget. Let’s discuss what things should be considered, included, or excluded in your flip.

The foundation of a timeless kitchen lies in the cabinetry. Opt for traditional styles like Shaker or raised-panel cabinets, which have proven their longevity throughout the decades. While these styles may seem simple, their clean lines and understated elegance ensure they will never look dated.
