Your Home, Your Style: Why Personal Design Choices Matter More Than Resale
Posted by That Tile Lady on Sep 8th 2024
When designing your home, it's tempting to make safe choices for resale. But if you’re not planning to sell soon, why not focus on making design decisions that reflect your style? Personal choices, especially with tiles, can turn a house into a unique, welcoming space. Here’s why designing for yourself, rather than resale, makes for a better home.
1. Your Home Should Reflect Your Personality
Your home’s floor and wall coverings should showcase your personality and style. For example, if you love bold patterns, why not explore statement pieces like our Chevron-patterned porcelain tile? Or, if you're after a more subtle aesthetic, our selection of neutral-toned tiles in modern finishes, can create a sophisticated, timeless look.
2. Trends Come and Go
Tile trends may change, but the choices you make for your own satisfaction will stand the test of time. Rather than following what's popular, focus on designs that you’ll love for years to come. Whether you prefer classic porcelain floor tiles or textured wall tiles with unique finishes, the best decisions are the ones that speak to your personal taste.
3. Customize for Functionality
Your home is a living space, so it’s essential that your design choices—particularly when it comes to tile flooring and wall finishes—are practical and functional. For high-traffic areas, durable options like our large format and slip resistant options provide a blend of beauty and resilience, while customized backsplash tiles in kitchens and bathrooms add both style and practicality.
4. Resale Value Isn’t Everything
While neutral finishes are often recommended for resale, tiles that reflect your personality can still appeal to buyers. Prospective homeowners are looking for a space that feels like home—a warm, inviting environment. By choosing unique tiles, you’ll create a home that speaks to your individuality and comfort, which may attract buyers down the road.
5. Quality and Craftsmanship Matter
Investing in high-quality tiles ensures that your design choices will last. From the elegance of a satin honed finish to the durability of porcelain flooring, choosing materials you love means you’ll enjoy your space for years to come. Our collection includes expertly crafted floor and wall tiles that meet the highest standards of beauty and functionality.
6. Eclectic Choices Make a House a Home
Your tile choices don’t need to follow trends. In fact, a unique combination of floor tiles and wall tiles can create that perfect "lived-in" feel that turns a house into a home. When potential buyers step into your home, they’re looking for warmth and character, not just another cookie-cutter space. Whether it’s multi-tonal tiles or bold accent tiles, personal design touches help create that cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
Make It Yours
At the end of the day, your home should be a reflection of your personal style. Explore our collection of wall and floor tiles that blend style, durability, and quality. Remember—design for yourself, not for resale, and create a home that feels truly your own.
