In the rush to remodel to acquire more space, mod-
ernize or add some new features, homeowners sometimes
give only a passing nod to the decorating end of the «S
project There’s a tendency to use the familiar and the
standard material—with the possible later result of being -**
displeased with a hasty choice. • 3J
Because remodeling invariably ects where the goal is to increase 9
the apparent visual size of a room. <3
Many wall tiles now bear extra-
duty glazes, developed only In -mm>
recent years, that permit the vivid j

results in decorating, says the
Tile Council of America, it’s a
good idea to take a close look at
available materials. The Tile
Council, trade association of the
nation's ceramic tile manufactur-
ers, notes that design innovations
in home products have reached
on almost revolutionary level.
Not only are there more types of
products suitable for a particular
use today than ever before, but
Unprecedented variety exists with-
in almost any given type.
If you narrowed your view to
ceramic tile, says the Tile Council,
you'd have more than 1,000 col-
ors and color combinations, 500
dHtgns and 100 shapes and sizes
Worn* which to choose.
Thera ore three haste typos af

Personal preference Is, of ^ i

when such a particular eOsct as

objective knowledge of a mo- 4
