Most New Year’s resolutions have something to do with self-improvement—but the New Year is also the perfect time to consider making improvements around your home. One of the best ways to add beauty and value to your home is by installing new tiles or durable pre-fabricated stone panels to your pool, flooring, or countertops. These products are cost-effective options that help you achieve a high-end look.

If you’re considering some home improvements this year, try using tile and stone in these places: 

In & Around Your Pool

Your pool is the highlight of every summer gathering. It’s the perfect place for you and your guests to lounge in the sun or take a dip to escape the heat. If your pool deck needs an upgrade, consider using a natural stone like slate, limestone, or coral stone. Along with being an excellent complement to the landscape, these stones are also highly durable. Travertine and flagstone are also popular because they stay cool on hot days and are slip-resistant. 

Kitchen & Bath Countertops 

When it comes to countertops, granite and marble are two outstanding options that will withstand the test of time. Granite is a bit more expensive than some other varieties of stone panels but is well worth the price. Granite is equally beautiful and durable, making it the perfect choice for kitchens. Marble is one of the most attractive and versatile stones, available in an array of unique colors and patterns. Aside from its pleasing aesthetic, it’s also easy to clean, so you won’t have to worry about those inevitable spills. 

Indoor Floors

Because of their durability and slip-resistant properties, slate-look porcelain and travertine tiles are also popular choices for floors. If you’re after a more dramatic look, mosaic spa tiles are an artistic way to spruce up your bathroom floors while expressing your creative side. These tiles come in endless varieties, colors, and patterns, making it easy to find a type that complements your taste and existing decor. The hardest part will probably be choosing your favorite!
