7 Things Worth Splurging On When Designing Your Home

Stone tile has been and continues to be a timeless material. Its natural qualities bode well for homes in need of historic charm and personality. But if you’ve ever been quoted stone tile for a project, you are painfully aware of its steep expense. If the budget allows, I will (usually) always recommend a natural stone. But when the budget is tight or the maintenance of natural stone is not preferred, these are my 4 favorite natural stone tile lookalikes that cost significantly less.

MONTANA FLATHEAD TILE

I used this porcelain tile in our Nebraska bathroom and the color variation closely resembles that of what you would see on natural stone. The edges are imperfect and there’s plenty of variation from tile to tile. Available in two sizes and priced at only $7.79 per sq ft.
