A: Great question! It’s something everyone planning construction should know. It is always best to select tile after your major decorating decisions have been made. Rooms should relate from one to the next–including bathrooms. In order to avoid a disjointed look, you should decide on tile only after you know what style, colors and textures you’ll be using in the surrounding rooms. You’re spending the money anyway, so why not do it right the first time and make it looked planned.
