Tile Accent Walls

Powder room with accent tile, floating vanity and vessel sinkWall treatments are everywhere these days; from wallpaper to wainscoting, people are finding ways to upgrade their walls to make a statement. But, if you crave something a little unexpected, skip the wallpaper and paint and go for tile. Tile accent walls add depth and texture to a room creating a focal point that leaves a lasting impression.

You can implement textured tile as an accent wall in virtually any room of the house. Traditionally seen in bathrooms, tile accent walls work great because of their durability and practicality for resistance to water. Tile accent walls can look just as beautiful in a family room, bar area, or anywhere in the home you want to add some flair.

Start with a tile that you absolutely adore for its color, pattern, or texture. If you canโ€™t quite commit, we suggest opting for a tile that is more neutral in color and simple in design.

If youโ€™re considering a tile accent wall or any type of wall treatment as part of a larger home remodeling project, give us a call to discuss your ideas with a Normandy Designer. You can find inspiration on our Facebook and Pinterest accounts, or in our photo gallery.

 

 

 

Instant Hot Water In The Kitchen

One of the most frequently overlookedย  conveniences in kitchen remodelingย today is the ability to have hot water on demand with an instant hot water dispenser. “It’s great if you’re a tea drinker or have anything thatย uses hot waterย regularly,” says Normandy Designer Stephanie Bryant, CKD.ย  “You can use it to wash dishes to ensure sterilization, and you really find lots of uses for it once it’s in.ย Whether it’s for hot beverages such as tea or hot cocoa, or meal preparation for instant noodles or oatmeal, people who have an instant hot water faucet in their kitchen frequently find it to be a favorite feature of a new kitchen.ย  You will need a separate faucet and heater, so it will be pricier than if you left it out.”

Instant hot water dispensers look much like a filtered water dispenser and are available in a wide variety of colors, finishes and styles to coordinate with the other fixtures in the kitchen.
