THTile Troubles? Let’s Talk.
If there’s one thing that holds up a kitchen remodel, it’s tile. Some clients pick it in a snap. Others? We’re stuck in decision limbo for weeks.
Here’s what you need to know before you start shopping:
1️⃣ Size + Scale Matter – Too big? Too small? Proportions can make or break your backsplash.
2️⃣ Marble Lovers, Beware – It’s gorgeous but porous. This natural stone absorbs stains faster than your morning coffee.
3️⃣ Study Your Options – Shapes, textures, patterns… there are so many ways to get this wrong (or right).
4️⃣ Matte vs. Glossy – One’s sleek, one’s soft. Which vibe is yours?
5️⃣ Grout Is NOT an Afterthought – I like it to blend, not steal the show.
6️⃣ White Tile + Black Grout? No Thanks. – Trust me, you’ll regret it.
7️⃣ The Same Tile, Different Names – Many top tiles come from the same places (Spain, anyone?) but get rebranded. Shop around before you commit.
Before you lock in a tile choice, think it through. You’ll be staring at it every single day.
