Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Up here in the Pacific Northwest, you don’t see too many tile floors in living rooms (we have cool weather for most of the year, so it’s a lot nicer to walk barefoot across some cozy carpeting), but in warmer climates, tile is popular. It stays cool even on hot balmy days, and as an added bonus tile floors are easy to clean and maintain.

For something that really stands out, you may want to consider custom tile work.

When you’re having a professional help with the design, you can get exotic colors, interesting patterns, and artistic borders. You can also get medallions that act as stunning focal points. With custom work, there’s really no limit when it comes to design and patterns.

And, if you want to really add the luxury element, install radiant floor heating under those tiles for when the weather cools off.
