January 2016 – Baltimore, MD – As a design consultant at Architectural Ceramics in Canton, a neighborhood of Baltimore City, I recently had the privilege of meeting a great couple that allowed me to create a mosaic design for the fireplace in their Bolton-Hill home in downtown Baltimore. It was in a series of row homes designed by an award -winning architect, Hugh Newell Jacobson, years ago.

The tile industry is continuously developing new products and techniques to help them create better products. Part of this is designing tiles that mimic the design aesthetic and trends people want. As tiles are extremely hardwearing, cost effective and easy to maintain, it makes sense to use them throughout the home. Over the last couple of years we’ve seen a range of tiles that look remarkably like natural stone, and last year realistic wood effect tiles were one of our top trends.

Seriously…All grouts are not created equal. More often than not, grout becomes an overlooked element within the tile installation process (why is that btw?). We believe it’s just as important as finding the tile that’s right for you! Grout is what seals everything together – literally. Don’t go through all this time to find the right tile only to not think about what grout you will grout it with.
