Talk tile to me
Tile is one of those design choices that can completely change the feel of a room—but with so many options, knowing where to start can be overwhelming.
Here are a few of the most common types you’ll see in remodeling:
▫️ Ceramic — Versatile, durable, and available in countless colors, shapes, and patterns. A great choice for walls and many low-to-moderate traffic areas.
▫️ Porcelain — Denser and less porous than ceramic, making it especially durable and a popular choice for floors, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas.
▫️ Natural Stone — Think marble, travertine, limestone, or slate. Each piece has its own natural variation, giving a space a more organic, elevated feel.
▫️ Glass — Often used for backsplashes and accent areas. It reflects light beautifully and can add dimension to a space.
▫️ Mosaic — Small-format tiles that can be arranged into patterns, borders, or intricate designs. Perfect for adding personality and detail.
▫️ Zellige — Handmade-look tile known for its variation in color, texture, and finish. No two pieces are exactly alike, which creates that beautifully imperfect character.
And then there’s the shape, size, color, finish, grout, and pattern to consider—which is where the real design fun begins.
The right tile isn’t just about how it looks. It’s about choosing a material that works for how the space will actually be used.
