FOR THE LOVE OF TILE - STONE, CERAMIC, GLASS OR PORCELAIN...

I am currently working on two projects that will require tile: a bathroom renovation in a home built in the late 80's and a complete rehab of a home (I mean down to the studs) including the kitchen and three bathrooms.  Thankfully, in both cases, the clients have a "nice" budget to work with - nice not unlimited.

For a designer, picking the right tile for the project is critical to the final product. Initially, qualifying my clients to ascertain their style is key. Next is a trip to my friendly neighborhood tile showroom. Two of my favorite retailers - Walker Zanger and Ann Sacks (not necessarily in my neighborhood) - have the most unique tile selections in the world. Their design inspiration is limitless, coming from the most unusual sources:









That excursion can be overwhelming as my client disclosed after on a recent trip. Keeping in my mind their taste and their budget can make the experience much more palatable.

Whether its TRADITIONAL...






MODERN...







OR TRANSITIONAL...









...there is bound to be a tile that will give anyone the bathroom of their dreams.


Peace and Blessings,
Tammy

  3. You're absolutely right. Ceramic tiles are the way to go when it comes to interior design, they are just stylish and very modern in my opinion. It's so much of a good thing for interior designers to utilize this kind of option.
