While some people prefer a warm and rustic look, others love the urban appeal of hard surfaces like concrete and cement. This industrial warehouse-inspired look is becoming increasingly popular in the home, particularly in open plan living spaces. Adding a new concrete or cement floor to an existing room is not a small job, but using a concrete effect tile is a quick and easy way to get the look for less.

There’s a lot of building going on in Southern California and we’re excited to be a part of it! Granada Tile Company’s Tunis cement tile from The Echo Collection forms a gorgeous focal point, used as the kitchen tile in “ The Current “, a modern luxury high rise in Long Beach’s downtown. We love the way that the cement tile is used as both floor file and as decorative tile on the kitchen island.

Carnet Casa’s rustic home design in Crema, Italy has elegant touches from floor to ceiling, including a series of beautifully textured walls with a nod to old world charm. The rough walls in the living and kitchen spaces have the same warm, slightly romantic look as the exposed wood in the ceiling. These artfully unfinished elements of the main space are balanced out by high-quality flooring and furniture pieces with a much more polished look.

When a new 800 square foot bakery was scheduled to open in Michigan, health codes required that all flooring be tile. Half of the space was existing quarry tile and the rest was painted. With an expedited time frame, traditional floor remediation would be too costly and time consuming. Ceramic Tile & More Owner John Coombs decided ARDEX UI 720™ FLEXBONE® Floating Uncoupling Membrane was the perfect product for the job. “I was most impressed when the health inspector required a sink b

It is no secret that I love tile. I am very familiar with white or red clay body tile, and as in the case of Grove Brickworks, brown clay. However, our new collection of tile, Magma, is created from the materials spilled from an erupting volcano. As its name suggests, Magma has a unique texture and chemistry; the body composition is a charcoal gray fine-grained lava mixed with other minerals.

Personalized home decor is a great way to show off your style. They say that your home is an extension of yourself. Every paint color, a piece of furniture, and little knick-knack in each room—they all play a part in telling an intricate and multifaceted story about you and your life. Now, with that in mind, would you still want to go for the same boring, mass-produced home furnishings—wall paintings, furniture, lamps, and other home fixtures—that can probably be found in every other home in the

Add a roommate, and those challenges can increase exponentially.

Is there anything better than relaxing beach decor in your bathroom? Nothing beats the sound of water waves along the coastline. This is perhaps why coastal décor is more than just a home decoration style. It is a breezy and bright feeling that many like to associate with their happiest memories. What many don’t know is that one doesn’t need to live on the waterfront to enjoy the benefits of beach decorating in your home.

We’ll say it: moving isn’t fun. Moving can be a hassle for so many reasons. Things always end up lost, and something always gets broken. You’re forced to realize just how much stuff you have, and how difficult moving a box (or 50) can be. But it can be easier. By breaking down the moving process and highlighting your steps to success, you can simplify your move and stay (somewhat) organized in the midst of chaos.

Home lighting is a crucial factor in interior design. Not only is it the source that shines down on the rest of your home decor, it has the ability to impact any room. Home lighting can even affect paint color. While it looks one shade in the store, it could look like a different shade when brought into the light of the room. The right home lighting will serve as both a decorative element and a functional element.
