Picking out tile for your kitchen or bathroom remodel is not as simple as you imagine. There is so much variety out there in design, color and texture – it makes the aesthetic impact just as important as the function. The right tile choice can make a stunning focal point in your space, so it pays to choose wisely.
“Accent tiles have always been around but recently we’ve seen an uptick in the trend,” said Normandy Design Manager, Leslie Molloy, CKD “The mosaic pattern is a replacement for the murals of fruit or the harvest that we had seen in the past.”
Whether in your shower, kitchen backsplash or behind your range, its graphic pattern is the perfect accent to any room. Choosing subtle hues or bold contrasting colors will lure you in, based on the palette of the rest of your room, and how creative you want to be.
“Patterned tiles emulate wallpaper and they are easy to care for,” added Leslie. “They can even be installed in an intricate grid pattern allowing grout lines to disappear.”
Geometric tiles come in diverse patterns and range from traditional to modern. They can be a great way to combine different design styles throughout your 
room seamlessly. The bold patterns are eye-catching and great to offset other subdued tile or cabinet selections. The pop of pattern can lift your space to a whole new design dimension.
Why not give your kitchen or bathroom a stand-out feature such as a mosaic pattern feature wall? If you are looking to remodel your bathroom, kitchen or contemplating more extensive changes to your home, you can set up a time with Leslie to talk about the possibilities. You can also learn more about additions, kitchens or other remodeling projects at an upcoming workshop.

A kitchen renovation is a major undertaking but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Before you dive in, you’ll need to take a good look at how you’re using your current kitchen and what you want to accomplish. It’s helpful to take an inventory of your goods and make decisions about where you want to store everything before you start.
Since cabinetry is one of the main features of your new kitchen, it’s important to think carefully about the efficiency of your kitchen when remodeling. For instance how you like to store your dishware and pantry items. What options do you want? Do you want pullout drawers or adjustable shelves for your dishes? Maybe you want to give up countertop space in order to have a large tall cabinet or pantry to store your large appliances or forgotten items like a broom or mop.
Designing a kitchen that really works for you and your family has a lot to do with the cabinetry you choose. Spending quality time upfront on the wide range of cabinetry choices will ensure that your kitchen will live up to its full potential and will pay off in the long run.
