4 Reasons to Choose Tile for Your Bathroom Floor

Bader Obeid • July 17, 2015

When considering floors for your bathroom, you have a number of choices. Among the most common are vinyl, wood, laminate, and tile. While all these types of flooring all work well in bathrooms, flooring and design experts at CMA flooring suggest that there are some distinct advantages to using tile.

1. Water Resistance

More than anywhere else in your house, you have the most potential moisture problems in your bathroom. While you may try really hard to avoid spilling water after a shower, it’s hard to avoid having wet bodies drip on the floor or having water splash out of sinks and tubs. To help ensure the least moisture damage to your bathroom floor, consider selecting granite tile in Carrollton. As tile is not hospitable to mold and doesn’t retain water, the inevitable moisture in a bathroom will not be a problem with this flooring option.

2. Ease of Maintenance

Tile is easy to clean and is often easier to fix than wood or laminate. Because tile is installed piece by piece, if one tile has a chip or other problem, it can easily be removed and replaced without disturbing the rest of the floor. While other options like laminate would require removing large portions of floor, tile replacements are easy and take little time. Additionally, tile is easy to clean and does not require frequent or extended attention to stay clean.

3. Look

Compared with most other flooring surfaces, tile gives your bathroom an expensive look. Recent studies of homebuyers show that tile is more appealing for people looking at homes, particularly in relation to vinyl and laminate options. While hardwood and tile are equally liked by homebuyers, because of tile’s affordable price and durability in a wet place like the bathroom, tile is the most popular choice.

4. Safety

Because water is so slippery, the bathroom can be one of the most dangerous rooms in the house. Wet floors are easy lose your balance on and, particularly because bathrooms have many sharp edges, falling in a bathroom can hurt. While you cannot prevent falls, in comparison to other flooring materials like wood, laminate, and vinyl, tile presents less of a slip risk. Tile, especially ceramic tile, has ridges and a studded surface that offers more grip.

If you’re renovating your bathroom, new cabinets can really help pull the room together.

What Is a Cashmere Kitchen?

By Baha CMA • September 4, 2025

As a design consultant, I spend a lot of time guiding clients through the finishing touches that make their remodels feel both beautiful and lasting. More often than not, I recommend a look that’s soft, timeless, and effortlessly elegant. That look now has a name: the cashmere kitchen — and it’s still going strong. So, what is a cashmere kitchen ? Think of it like your favorite cashmere sweater: soft, classic, comfortable, and a little bit luxurious — without being flashy. Some designers even call it a soft neutral kitchen or a timeless kitchen. The idea is the same: subtle luxury that feels as good as it looks. Key Elements of a Cashmere Kitchen Cabinets : Warm neutrals such as soft greige (J&K Pebble) paired with a warm wood accent like J&K Butterscotch. Countertops : White quartz with gentle gold and brown veining for a polished yet understated look. Hardware : Champagne bronze for subtle warmth; matte black for contrast on darker cabinets. Floors : Light, natural hardwood like Regal Alton to keep the space airy. Backsplash : Glossy, handmade-look tile (SOHO Surfaces) that adds texture and visual interest. Overall feel : Everything flows together. No harsh contrasts — just understated details that shine. This is what makes the cashmere kitchen such a perfect example of a comfort luxe kitchen : elegant, but inviting. Why Homeowners Love a Cashmere Kitchen A cashmere kitchen design checks a lot of boxes for today’s homeowners: Timeless appeal – Won’t feel dated in a few years. Easy to personalize – Add your own touch with lighting, décor, or barstools. Resale - friendly – Neutral palettes appeal to a wide audience. Relaxing atmosphere – The mood is calm, cozy, and inviting. It’s the perfect balance of modern and classic — Shaker cabinet doors provide tradition, quartz countertops keep it current, and metallic hardware adds polish. Many homeowners see it as a classic warm neutral kitchen because it feels both stylish and practical. Cashmere Kitchen vs. Transitional Kitchen
