Why would I need a tile designer or consulting help?
Left to our own devices most of us simply copy or play it safe (ah-hem.. white subway) and end up spending thousands of dollars on something that doesn’t speak to them and fades quickly into the backdrop of daily life. Deliberate tile design is art and art has an effect on us. Kyle’s passion lies in guiding homeowners towards a design they can say is truly theirs.
But I already know what I want.
This is a great news, you have completed the first step! From here Kyle will offer ideas and suggestions backed by years of experience and industry guidelines that will enhance your final installation and longevity. From the type of grout that will perform best under your conditions to how that outside corner you didn’t consider will look when finished or which material you will want to use to transition to that hardwood floor. Kyle will take the guesswork out of everything from what questions to ask your installer to how to care for your new installation.
I have an interior designer, is there a conflict here?
Kyle has years of experience helping refine the ideas homeowners have worked through with their interior designers. Most interior designers can be thought of as the general practitioners of home design with specialties is certain areas based on their previous experience. Kyle is the tile specialist that will take in the bigger picture and then key in on areas he has found homeowners tend to care about once their project is complete.
What can I expect?
