Tile remains one of the most popular flooring options, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. In the weeks leading up to your tile installation appointment, you’ll need to select materials and decide on your overall design goals. Keep the following tips in mind as you browse the market for products. 

What to Consider Before Purchasing Tile

1. Make a Plan

One of the best ways to get a feel for the type of tile you might like in your kitchen or bathroom is by browsing through magazines and surfing the web. Look at photographs of tile installations in other homes. Create an idea board on Pinterest that will help you make decisions while shopping. 

2. Develop a Design Scheme

Do you want a clean, sophisticated look in your bathroom? Would you like a funky, shabby-chic ambiance in your kitchen? Establish some design goals before you make a tile purchase. Choose a color palette and build your tile design around a focal point in the space. 

3. Think About Shapes & Patterns

Tiles usually come in squares and rectangles, but they are also available in a variety of other geometrical shapes. You might even want to build gorgeous, colorful mosaics with your tile flooring. Choose printed tiles with interesting patterns that add movement and energy to your kitchen or bathrooms. 

4. Choose Quality Materials

Although porcelain and ceramic tiles are most common, other options like stone or glass are available too. Think about the durability, maintenance, and moisture resistance of various tile materials. Ideally, you’ll want flooring that is easy to clean and will last you the long haul, offering you returns on your investment.
