Transformative Tile Options To Restyle And Refresh Your Home
I absolutely love incorporating tile into my designs – it’s an incredible surface that completely revamps any space. I consider how the space is used and where the materials will be installed. In fact, when designing for clients, tile is often the initial surface they present to me – showing me their desired colors, textures, shapes, and style preferences for their home remodel – whether for the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, fireplace, or a focal wall.
But…not all tile is the same. The appropriate tile material must be specified by a professional interior designer for its specific use and purpose. A professional tile installer is imperative, along with the appropriate installation and grout for the specific application. For wet areas and fireplaces – safety is a key consideration.
Here at Sheryl Steinberg Interior Design, I provide functional, distinctive, and high-performance recommendations for my clients’ remodels that bring longevity and timeless style to their homes.
