Carrying Kitchen Tiles Throughout

There are two types of people in the world, those that hear carrying tile as hauling boxes of tile into your home, and those that hear endless possibility for creating feature walls, unique displays, and completely cutting-edge designs. When a designer considers carrying a tile feature, what they really mean is expanding the tile to meet something else, typically another feature or surface. Tile was once limited to kitchen backsplashes and lining showers, but now it is seeing broadened applications.

LOWER PRICE POINT, HIGHER APPEAL

Because the material and demand for tile have both improved, it has created a reduction in cost for tile installation and purchase in many places throughout the country. Many local Thousand Oaks homeowners have already begun enjoying stone tile fireplaces, outdoor spaces, and flooring, but we expect the trend to exceed even this. With the desire for feature walls increasing and the cost of tile decreasing, we foresee many designers tying a kitchen tile throughout a space, not just in a backsplash area. This opens up wild new potential for larger, more opulent tile designs that encompass a number of styles beyond what we have traditionally seen in kitchens. Basically, if your designer mentions wanting to carry tile throughout their design, then odds are they are well ahead of the design curve.

BETTER OPTIONS

With materials, such as Carrara Marble sitting on tile shelves right next to porcelain, tile has become a suitable solution for providing elegance at nearly any budget. Furthermore, kitchen tiles are nowhere near as limited in style, shape, or material as they used to be. As more people continue to use tiles throughout their design, even more innovative designs and materials are steadily released, making 2016 the perfect year for carrying tile throughout your design.
