Experience the texture and finish
Feel the texture of the tile to determine if it meets your needs for slip resistance and aesthetic preferences.
Coordination with existing elements
Compare the sample directly with your furniture, paint colours, and other design elements to ensure a cohesive look.
Tips for evaluating tile samples
To make the most of your tile samples, consider these tips:
- View samples in different lighting conditions: Observe the samples during the day and at night to see how the colours shift.
- Place samples in the intended space: Lay the samples on the floor or against the wall where you plan to install the tile.
- Consider grout colour: Think about how the grout colour will impact the overall look of the tile. Darker grout can accentuate the tile’s shape, while lighter grout creates a more seamless appearance.
- Get a second opinion: Ask friends, family, or a design professional for their feedback on the samples.
