Design Tip: Choosing Materials
Since your living room is a high-traffic area, it’s important to choose a material that is durable and easy to maintain. Our selection of tile offers a natural appearance and timeless character that won’t show much wear. Porcelain and ceramic materials are versatile, decorative and less expensive than natural stone. The tough surfaces are impervious to spills and won’t trap bacteria and dust. Wood-look ceramic tiles are a popular style because they can be printed to look like many different species of hardwood flooring. Faux wood is less expensive, easier to clean and retains its appearance over time as it’s less vulnerable to water damage and scratches. From traditional designs to cutting-edge contemporary styles, tile offers a winning combination of form and function.
Design Tip: Choosing Colors
When deciding on a tile color, it’s important to consider how that will influence the entire room—your walls, furniture and artwork. Don’t be afraid to let your personality show with vibrant, contrasting colors and a mix of different shapes and designs. Natural stone and textured tiles add more drama to your space, and neutral-colored tiles can tie elements in the room together. If you like the look of white carpet, consider a clean white tile instead: you’ll get the same eye-catching effect while removing any danger of spills and stains.
