My Obsession with Patterned Tile
If there’s one thing I can’t resist when redesigning a residence, it’s patterned tile! An unexpected pop of color and pattern elevates a space and differentiates a property from the rest of the pack. It’s a bold move, confidently proclaiming “Here I am, aren’t I pretty??!” Dramatic elements also raise the perceived value of a property at no extra cost. With so many affordable tile options right now, it’s fun to let the house “speak” to me and then select the perfect pattern to bring that personality to life. Patterned tile in small spaces, like a bathroom floor, or kitchen backsplash, or the wall behind a bar, is the perfect place to experiment. In an open-concept floor-plan, using a bold pattern on the kitchen floor is a smart way to define the space and add visual interest. Of course, you have to be judicious with your other design choices, making sure the tile is an enhancement, not overkill. When prospective buyers view the property online, these exciting elements spark joy and drive appointments. The more views and appointments you can book quickly, the more you drive demand. And the more demand you have, the more likely you are to get multiple offers over asking, with deal sweeteners like waived appraisals and inspections!
