TIPS FOR THE TILE SELECTION PROCESS

Consider the interior environment that you will create
- Color will make the room look larger or smaller.
- Size will determine the number of grout joints. Large-unit tiles work equally well in large or small rooms. Smaller tiles are usually intended for smaller rooms or to create a pattern.
- Direction will create either a visual flow or a distinctive area
To make a room appear:
- Larger Light-medium colors or large format tiles
- Smaller Medium-dark colors or small format tiles
- Lighter Light-medium colors
- Darker Medium-dark colors (dark colors work best in rooms with plenty of natural light)
- Warmer “Warm” colors
- Cooler “Cool” colors
- Neutral color Larger tiles with coordinating grout joints or stone tile with thin coordinating grout joints
- Color accents Inset color using field tile or decos
- Larger with a visual flow Using the same tile from room to room
- Distinctive rooms and area Change the size, the direction or use decos
