Where Does Tile Belong?

December 9, 2022

Beyond the shower wall, decorative tile has been used for flooring, accent walls, fireplace surrounds, bathroom walls, kitchen backsplashes, and even outdoor living areas.


Due to the interest in historic home restoration and its contemporary appearance, subway tile has had a rebirth, but designers are now offering clients more options than ever. There are a seemingly limitless number of solutions available to satisfy the needs of homeowners, whether the objective is to add individuality, color, or texture.


Below are the current trends in tile:


  • Textures remain hot, with everything from ribbed looks to undulating surfaces that beg to be touched.

  • Marble looks that deliver a clean, classic design include veining in a range of colors, including the standard gray.

  • Porcelain and ceramic continue to lead the way due to their range of designs and easy maintenance.

  • Bright colors and patterns are a way to add pops of color to neutral designs.

  • Shapes go way beyond subway tile rectangles, with diamonds, arabesques, circles and lantern shapes garnering attention.

  • Handmade, cement and hand-painted tiles add decorative patterns to kitchen and bath spaces.

We are surrounded by stimuli all the time in our world. In today's always connected digital environment, it can be debilitating. It really should come as no surprise that we feel more at ease when we encounter anything in our day-to-day lives that is orderly, balanced, or tidy. When we can move around easily, find what we need logically, and don't have to worry about looking for it, we feel happier. We can all live better when we are organized, and Hardware Resources organizers just make life better. Continue reading to learn about some of the creative ways Hardware Resources is bringing harmony to the disarray of contemporary life. Let’s Organize Drinks The kinds of organizational solutions that people require for their houses are directly influenced by lifestyle trends. Single-use beverage containers have been under increasing pressure from customers in recent years. The unusual sizes, forms, and attachments (straws and lids) of reusable drink containers, such as water bottles, insulated beverage containers, and tumblers, can make them challenging to store. Although traditional rollout drawers can facilitate access to certain objects, they are not the best option because the items have a tendency to move and fall out when the drawer is pulled out. Hardware Resources' Bottle Rollout Organizer is made to make handling and storing these bulky containers simple. Because of its double drawer design, the Bottle Rollout makes it simple to reach the bottom drawer by pushing the top drawer back and out of the way. In addition to the 15-bottle grid, the 21- and 27-bottle organizers contain a partially divided drawer to hold lengthy or bulky goods and a reversible grid system that allows for left- or right-hand arrangement. With a 15-bottle grid that can hold containers up to 4" by 4", the bottle grid system offers the greatest amount of flexibility. For a variety of households, including active families with sports-loving members, environmentally conscious consumers who wish to avoid single-use drinkware, and performers who utilize the bottle rollout for their home bar or beverage area, it is a clever option.
