Have You Tried Large Format Tile?

Have you considered large format tile for your next project?

Tiles are getting larger. With larger tiles, you have fewer grout joints to see. You also have a tile that can make a small space look bigger.

So, if you're planning a tile remodel for a small space, you'll want to consider these larger sizes rather than limit yourself to smaller ones.
