their own style or aesthetic that resonates with them, and getting a clear idea
of what you like is very important. Are you a trendsetter? Do you want a rustic

favourite designs, colors and textures are a great starting point, too. We wish

a key ingredient to consider when selecting tile. Compare the design samples under different lights and during different
times of day, and place the sample next to fixtures, colors swatches and applications.
