Using a Virtual Mosaic Tile Blend Designer to Create Your own Interior Style

Be Your Own Designer With Fantastic Results

The virtual world is so amazing, not only does the store come to your home these days, but the technology available to the masses is overwhelming. Homeowners can sometimes find everything they're looking for at a click of a mouse, but often times, when the product arrives at their front door- the items they purchased aren't as they appeared. This is why it's very important to know exactly what you're getting prior to clicking the "Buy Now" button.

One great tool that is used on the web is the Mosaic MAXimizer , or MAX for short. MAX allows the homeowner to go on-line and see their color options, mix and match, and design their own mosaics for their home. MAX allows the consumer to blend certain tiles and finishes and then submit them to the design department at MosaicTileSupplies.com for fabrication. Best of all, this can all be manufactured and shipped to your home within a one week turn-a-round. And in many cases the turn-a-round time is even less- average time for a standard kitchen area is only 3 days. Local home improvement stores often carry only samples; many times they must order the tile from the manufacturer; then you have the wait time for fabrication, shipping and you still have to pick them up. Anyone will tell you that it is better to order straight from the manufacturer than going through a middle-man. Thankfully, the opportunity has finally arrived thanks to modern day technology.

The MAXimizer allows consumers from the comfort of their homes to shop over four different catalogs of tiles, as well; the consumer can arrange tiles by size, color, finishes, and even different product lines. Take for instance the inexpensive, Kaleidoscope ® Color Grove glass mosaic tiles at the website; these solid colored tiles are available for only $3.48 per square foot. If you're not ready to design your own blend, try the 2008 Great Tastes Collection of glass mosaic tile blends offered to consumers by MosaicTileSupplies.com and you'll find you can have a gorgeous focal point in any room for as little as $200-$300. Custom blended tile work starts for as little as $7.00 per square foot, and that's basically the same price you would pay for a mid-grade ceramic tile that is plain and boring. Whether you're shopping for a penny round tile or a beautiful glass subway tile, the look can be created and viewed from the comfort of your own home. There's no need to visit tile stores and hassle with pushy sales people; all can be achieved right at home. Better yet, you can order samples of your masterpiece before you place your final order, to take to stores when looking for other interior design pieces to be added to your room.

The best thing about the MAXimizer is that the interior designer is you, and after all, that's who you need to please. It has taken years to come up with a tool that can give the homeowner the ability to mix and match custom tiles without hiring an Interior Designer; and even with an Interior Designer, often you're just taking their word for it. Now, you will actually see the product and know what you're getting for your money. © 2008 Mosaic Tile Supplies, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
