What a night to remember in Mission Viejo 🤍
Our Grand Opening brought together designers, contractors, and homeowners for an evening full of connection, inspiration, and celebration. This is exactly what we’re about—building community and creating beautiful spaces together.
A huge thank you to our incredible sponsors and everyone who came out to support. We’re so excited to be here and can’t wait to keep creating with you 🥂
It’s all in the tile ✨
From the bold, vertically stacked green tile creating a rich, cohesive moment, to the clean geometric backsplash adding subtle movement—these details bring the entire space to life.
Thoughtful tile = elevated design.
Visit our showroom to find your perfect match.

Choosing the right grout color can completely change the look and feel of your tile.
A darker grout—depending on your tile—can create a drenched, moodier, more cohesive look by minimizing contrast and letting the surface read as one continuous design. On the other hand, a lighter grout can highlight each individual tile, creating more dimension and even an ombré-like effect as the tones shift across the space.
It all comes down to the look you’re going for—blended and seamless, or bold and defined.
Stop by one of our showrooms or connect with our team—we’ll help you find the perfect grout pairing for your project.
Backsplash, but make it a statement ✨
This patterned tile adds just the right amount of detail—soft, tonal, and timeless with a subtle geometric repeat that brings movement without overwhelming the space.
Proof that the right backsplash doesn’t just complement your kitchen—it defines it.

Ceramic vs. porcelain—when should you use each?
Porcelain is denser, more durable, and water-resistant—making it the go-to for floors, showers, outdoor spaces, and high-traffic areas.
Ceramic is better suited for walls and decorative applications like backsplashes and accent features.
A simple rule:
Porcelain for performance.
Ceramic for design.
So you’re thinking about Zellige tile…
Just know—this isn’t your perfectly uniform, symmetrical tile.
Each piece is handmade, so variation in color, shape, and depth is part of the design.
That’s the beauty of it ✨
Four different looks. Four completely different moods. Which option would you choose?
