Sample Circuit presents: The Entertaining Home, Volume 2

Kitchen Tile Design-Defining Style with Tile

As the Merchandise Manager for Ceramic Tileworks, I get to see everything that is happening in the world of ceramic tile. If you can imagine it, I have seen it! Glow in the dark tile, tile with Swarovski crystals, tile that changes color like a mood ring (am I dating myself, c’mon you remember). With the new innovations of ceramic tile, it has become the ultimate way to personalize your interior space and make it a unique reflection of yourself. People are increasingly looking to personalize their kitchen space with products that tell a story. Personalization doesn’t need to be expensive; it just needs to be authentic to your style.

Selecting tile is very similar to selecting a great outfit for a special occasion. When you’re putting your outfit together you want to make sure all the pieces come together and fit both your style and the style of the occasion. Likewise, when selecting tile for that special room in your home, you want to make sure that as you put the pieces together, it is reflective not only of the style of the space but also of your own personal style. And we are here to help you with that process.

Deanna Carlson works at our IMS showroom and is our own tile design diva. I am always impressed when I attend a local design event with her because I believe that she knows every designer in town! Deanna is the expert on how to ask the right questions, listen to the details and then she magically starts pulling and piecing all the components together to create the most amazing selections that are perfect for the project.

If you are interested in exploring the use of tile in your home, please accept my invitation to come visit us at our showrooms! Alternatively, our new website features many of our tile collections. Either way, our hope is that you find design inspiration.

Express yourself through food, fashion and tile!
