High end detail at a lower cost


                When picking finishes be aware of your budget. You can get the high end look without breaking the bank. 

                 Find what you like  should it be tile (look at other manufactures see if there is another line that has something similar in your price range.) Dal tile is a good source with several price points. Or splurge on the border tile but use a less expensive filed tile.

                In the example below we used an upgrade mosaic tile with picture molding and subway tile. We used Dal subway tile, picture molding tiles and AKDO Mosaic-Imperial Carrara tiles to emphasizes the tub and one wall in the shower. This gives a detailed look but also keeps in mind the budget by using cost effective items with splurges.




 
                The same concept can be applied to furniture in a room as well. Splurges on items that will be used often and last a long time like a bed, dresser, dining table, etc.
