As exciting as a brand new kitchen, bathroom, hallway, or entryway is, the actual renovation process can bring up more mixed emotions. Yes, renovation means you don’t have to look at the faux-granite countertops or cheap wood-panel cabinets anymore, but it also means that you’ll be unable to use that room for awhile. And what if you don’t end up liking your new space as much as you thought you would? That’s a risk that might lead you to put off remodeling for a lot longer than you really need to. The reason we bring up this common remodeling fear is to highlight the importance of understanding your own preferences and using high-quality materials. Many people get caught up in the moment when they renovate, bringing in flavor-of-the-month decor that completely falls out of style in a few short years. Others decide to compromise and choose something that might fit the budget a bit better, only to find that their space doesn’t quite match up with what they envisioned. To help you avoid these two pitfalls, we recommend using high-quality building materials, such as our white marble tile, which we make affordable and accessible to every designer at almost any budget.
