Chalet exterieur
A mix of tiles line the wall behind the folding station. They help blend the new laundry room into the rest of the home, which is Spanish-style and has not been renovated. The custom blue-and-white tiles surround the window and continue down onto the side of the folding area. The rest of the tiled space is covered in a gray-and-white pattern. “The gray was a nice complement to the other tile and wasn’t going to fight with the blue or styles in other rooms of the home,” Stein says. She worked with the vendor to get a custom blue for the tiles around the window. The sample that was in the store was brighter than what she envisioned for the space. “We had to wait for the custom colors, and the client really didn’t want to wait any longer,” Stein says. “In the end, it was worth the wait to have them made.”Remodeling tip: Order samples. They don’t cost that much more, especially when you consider the whole expense of the project. It’s worth it to make sure the colors and materials meet your needs and expectations, Stein says, “especially because things can look different on monitors or be Photoshopped.”
