Long story long, picking the tile is barely half the job.

There are so many little decisions that come up before demo day even starts.

Grout color sounds simple until you realize lighting changes everything, and what looked perfect in the showroom suddenly reads completely different at home.

The type matters too. Sanded grout next to marble can scratch the surface you just spent a small fortune on, and y’all, we’d really rather not.

The edge of your tile is a whole decision on its own. Metal trim, a matching tile piece, or a clean painted edge all land a little differently, and if no one walks you through it, you’re kind of stuck with whatever gets picked on install day.

Then thickness, which is the one nobody sees coming. Two tiles can look great together and still have completely different depths underneath, so when they meet, like at your shower curb, you’ll see it. You’ll feel it. And once you do, you can’t unsee it. Even a small difference is enough.

That’s why all of this gets figured out ahead of time.

Save this for when you’re standing in a tile showroom thinking, “This should be easy.” 😉

Don’t be fooled by timelines that sound a little too good to be true, y’all.

There’s usually a reason.

Making sure you’ve got all the details upfront before anything gets signed will save you a whole lot later.

Save this before you sign anything!

Future you will be very glad you did. 😉
