(A helpful guide for homeowners, renovators, and anyone staring at way too many tile options)
Let’s be honest — choosing tiles can feel overwhelming.
There are just so many styles, textures, colors, and sizes out there. One minute you’re feeling excited, and the next you’re wondering if you're about to make a pricey mistake. After all, tiles are a permanent part of your space, and once they’re installed, they’re not exactly easy to change.
At The Tile House, we totally get it. We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across the GTA and Durham Region find tiles they love — and more importantly, tiles that fit their style, their space, and their day-to-day life. So before you dive headfirst into the tile aisle, here are a few ways to make the process easier and stress-free.
1. Take Home a Tile Sample This is one of the easiest ways to boost your confidence when making a final decision. The Tile House offers free tile samples, so you can bring a few options home and see how they look in your space. Lighting makes a big difference — what looks bright and clean in the showroom might feel darker or more textured at home. A sample helps you avoid surprises and see exactly how your tile will play with your paint colors, cabinets, flooring, and furniture.
2. Come With Inspiration (We’ll Help With the Rest) Whether you're working with a contractor or doing a DIY project, a little inspiration goes a long way. Bring in photos of your space, your Pinterest board, or even just your favorite color palette. Our team is always happy to help you find tiles that work beautifully with your vision, whether you're going for modern, classic, bold, or minimalist.
3. Think About the Function of Your Space Not every tile works for every room. A glossy finish might be stunning in a powder room but slippery in a mudroom. Porcelain might be best for a high-traffic hallway, while ceramic might do just fine in a laundry nook. We’ll help you pick options that balance durability with design, so your tiles aren’t just beautiful — they work hard too.
4. Visit Us In-Store and Talk to Our Friendly Experts Sometimes, all it takes is a conversation to ease that “what if I choose the wrong one?” feeling. Our knowledgeable staff is always ready to answer questions, explain the pros and cons of each tile, and guide you toward a choice that feels right.
