Tile surfaces that bring spaces together

Tile has a way of transforming a space without trying too hard. It can be bold or subtle. Timeless or modern. Understated or dramatic. At Cabinets by Amy and Lauren, tile design is never treated as an afterthought. It is part of the bigger story. The story begins with your ideas, daily routines, and how you envision your home functioning.

It all begins with an ideal. Maybe it’s a kitchen that finally works the way you need it to. Maybe it’s a bathroom that feels calm instead of cramped. Or maybe it’s a space you’ve been avoiding because you’re not sure what to do with it. We exist to bridge that gap. We guide you through the renovation process, connect the dots between contractor and homeowner, and make tile design feel seamless instead of stressful.

We understand that beauty without function falls short. As working mothers and homemakers, we design spaces that make real life easier. Tile is one of the most powerful tools we use to balance durability, style, and practicality without adding one more hassle to your plate.

Choosing your ideal tile

Selecting tile should feel exciting, not overwhelming. With so many materials, sizes, finishes, and layouts available, the right guidance makes all the difference. Our role is to simplify choices while still opening the door to creative options that fit your lifestyle.


Ceramic or porcelain tile

Ceramic and porcelain tile may look similar, but they perform differently.

Ceramic tile is a versatile and cost-effective option. It works beautifully for backsplashes, accent walls, and light-traffic floors. It offers endless color and pattern choices and is easier to cut and customize.

Porcelain tile is denser and less porous. That makes it ideal for high-traffic areas, bathrooms, showers, and floors that see moisture or temperature changes. Porcelain also excels at mimicking natural materials like stone or wood, giving you a high-end look with lower maintenance.

We help you choose the option that makes sense for where the tile will live, not just how it looks in a sample.

Tile size and scale

Tile size changes how a room feels. Large-format tiles can make a space feel more open and modern, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Smaller tiles, mosaics, and patterned layouts bring texture, movement, and visual interest.


We consider grout lines, room proportions, and installation layout to make sure the scale works with the architecture of your home, not against it.

Shape and layout

Tile doesn’t have to be square. Rectangles, hexagons, chevrons, and custom mosaics allow us to create rhythm and flow. A simple subway tile laid vertically feels very different than the same tile stacked horizontally.


Layout matters just as much as material. We design patterns intentionally so they guide the eye and support the room’s function.

Color and shade

Color sets the mood. Light tiles can brighten smaller spaces and reflect natural light. Darker tiles add depth and drama. Warm tones feel inviting. Cool tones feel clean and modern.


We also look at undertones. Tile should work with cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, and lighting. This is where a designer’s eye prevents costly mismatches later.

The benefits of tile in your home

Tile is one of the smartest design investments you can make. It offers a rare combination of durability, beauty, and flexibility across almost every room in the home.

  • Durability that lasts: Tile is built to last. It resists scratches, dents, and daily wear better than many other surfaces. When properly installed, tile can look just as good decades later as it did on day one.
  • Easy maintenance: Life is busy. Tile makes cleanup simple. Most tile surfaces only need regular sweeping and occasional mopping. Porcelain and ceramic tile resist stains and moisture, making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways.
  • Design flexibility: Few materials offer as much variety. Tile can look like marble, concrete, wood, or fabric. It can be sleek, rustic, bold, or minimal. No matter your style, tile adapts without sacrificing performance.
  • Increased home value: Well-designed tile adds long-term value. Buyers notice thoughtful tile work in kitchens, bathrooms, and showers. It signals quality, care, and attention to detail.

Tile applications throughout your home

Tile is not limited to one room. When designed properly, it creates continuity and purpose throughout your living space.

  • Tile flooring: Tile flooring works beautifully in kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, laundry rooms, and even living areas. It handles foot traffic, pets, and spills without stress. We design flooring layouts that feel intentional and comfortable underfoot.
  • Tile backsplashes: Backsplashes are where function meets personality. They protect your walls while adding texture, color, and visual interest. From classic subway tile to bold patterned designs, backsplashes often become the focal point of a kitchen or bar area.
  • Tile showers and bathrooms: Bathrooms demand materials that can handle moisture without sacrificing style. Tile allows us to create custom showers, tub surrounds, and bathroom floors that feel spa-like yet practical. We pay close attention to slope, grout, and waterproofing details to ensure long-term performance.
  • Accent walls and specialty spaces: Tile can define a space. Fireplace surrounds, feature walls, niches, and built-ins gain depth and character with thoughtful tile design. These moments often turn everyday rooms into standout spaces.
