Add color, style and function with beautiful tile.

You can create almost any look and feel.

Tile is one of the most versatile design elements. It can be traditional, modern or anything in between including Southwestern, Asian or Italian! You can select from a wide variety of tile materials including marble, porcelain, glass, natural stone, ceramic, mosaic and more. Today some porcelain tile even looks like wood to give you a natural look with better durability!

Tile can be used to add beauty to so many surfaces, including countertops, floors, walls, mantles, and even ceilings! Compared to many other materials, most tile is moderately priced, durable and easy to clean. And because tile comes in so many shapes and sizes, you can create almost unlimited patterns and designs!

With so many choices, it makes sense to work with an expert to select the tile that will work best for your design project.

Add tile to your decorating scheme to add a new look to your home this spring.

Cozy up your home with warm colors.

Add energy and comfort to your design plan with warm tones.

Adding warm colors to your décor can make your living space feel intimate and soothing and, at the same time, also enliven it. Warm colors are those composed of combinations of orange, red and yellow. They remind us of sunlight and warmth, and blend well with most any neutral, including white, black, gray, cream and beige.

Because of the stimulation warm colors provide, you may want to use them in active rooms like living rooms, kitchens and home offices and not in the rooms where you want to calm down and relax the most, such as bedrooms.

Paint is an easy way to add a warm color. You can also add these welcoming hues in a small way to a neutral color scheme with fresh flowers and plants, throw pillows, bed and table linens, artwork and lamps.

Create a welcoming, cozy feel in your home by adding warm colors.
