She is sensible, straightforward, flexible, transparent and has excellent taste and judgment. **Comment from Tile Design Inspirations:** > Thank you so much for the review and the recommendations. It was a pleasure working with you. Customers like you allow small business like mine to strive and succeed. **★★★★★ — aya egawa, Jan. 2017** > Liliana was an amazing help throughout my bathroom design process. She helped pick tiles within my budget (patiently and even dropped off samples when I couldn't make store hours due to my work schedule!), showed me what the tile would look like completed and renovated in my bathroom as a 3D rendering, made purchasing easy by delivering my tiles the next day! Seriously amazing products and even more impressive is the outstanding service. Definitely a nice change than dealing with the big box stores! Highly recommend TDI. **★★★★★ — Veronica Sze, Oct. 2016** > Lily has been terrific throughout the process of our projects, from start to end. We had two our bathrooms completely redone and other small areas around the house. Lily is patient, creative, proactive and goes above and beyond for more than one occasion to get the tiles in time for our contractor. She is terrific and would definitely recommend to any of my friends. **Comment from Tile Design Inspirations:** > Thank you so much and it was also a pleasure working for you. Thanks for the recommendations. **★★★★★ — Mina Rasis, Oct. 2016** > We can not thank Lilliana enough for her patience professionalism and personal attention during our recent kitchen renovation. > We would highly recommend TDI and Lilliana for any tile project. She is efficient, patient, and very accommodating. Every request we made and every need we had was responded with speed and courtesy. We were very pleased with the outcome and everything involving TDI was on time and budget. **★★★★★ — DAWN M., Sept. 2016** > If you are looking for a boutique environment with a unique selection and attentive service then Tile Design Inspirations is for you. I have worked with the owner, Liliana, on a few kitchen and bath projects and was beyond pleased with the results. She is confident and passionate about tile and meeting customers’ needs. She somehow taps into your vision and makes it even better. What more could you ask for! **★★★★★ — Idea Space Architecture + Design, Sept. 2016** > Liliana at Tile Design Inspirations is fantastic. As a design professional, it is important to work with vendors who are reliable and resourceful, so we were very happy to get to know Liliana and place tile orders with her for our clients. She is very attentive and provides excellent service. We will continue to do business with Tile Design Inspirations in the future and we highly recommend you do the same! **★★★★★ — Renita S. Larang, June 2016** > I'm glad to have found Liliana. She was referred to me by my contractor. She was very professional, patient and knowledgeable. She helped me choose the tiles & glass mosaic for my bathroom renovation when I was undecided by process of elimination. She arranged tiles in such a way that I will be able to see the effect of each by contrast. She listens to you and her rendition is exactly the way you envisioned it to be. My friends loved the bathroom especially the tiles. We are very happy with the result. We enjoy our bathroom every time we step into it. Can't wait to share it with my kids and grandkids who will be vacationing this July. Thank you Lili for your assistance, support in the completion of this project and your excellent customer service. I will definitely recommend Lili to my friends and will seek her assistance in my future project. **★★★★ — Kwaku Essel, May 2016** > Very helpful. Helps you with your vision, provides options, taking into account style, pricing, time, etc. Provides combinations that could work well and design diagrams are very helpful to visualize. Maybe a little more feedback on what construction issues and maintenance needs could be encountered depending on materials used, would help round out the professional's overall service. Professional worked well with reorders and changes which was very appreciated. **★★★★★ — sheri678, March 2016** > I am so glad I found Liliana!!! She had a great tile selection, was able to order additional samples for me to look at, and was so helpful and attentive. She really helped me visualize the space I was working with and has great design software to help with planning projects. Liliana was very patient with me and was happy to guide me through the process. I highly recommend her services!! **★★★★★ — yanivschahar, Oct. 2015** > We were very satisfied with Tile Design Inspiration. The service and advice were both excellent. Delivery was prompt and the price was right. > > We will definitely recommend this store to our friends and shop there again. **★★★★★ — camus2010, Oct. 2015** > Liliana helped us with designing our kitchen back splash as well as the tile floor in our elevator. Her workshop is plain but she has access to a vast supply of materials and designs. She is very knowledgeable about the characteristics of different stones and how they play out in certain environment. She's also very patient and always able to locate the product we need, no matter how rare and obscure they are. The tile guy (Carlos) she recommended did an excellent job too. Overall we are very satisfied with the outcome and will certainly go back to Lilian for any future tiling project. **★★★★★ — Claudia, Aug. 2015** > Lilly was my hero! She helped me pick tile for my kitchen backsplash and got it for me in just two days because we were on a super tight schedule! She went way above what she would have to do and personally delivered the tile to my house and even organized grout for me on a last minute call. She was always responsive and followed up. By far one of the best experiences I had so far with professionals in this field. Will definitely be back when redoing my bathrooms! Thank you so much for everything! **Comment from Tile Design Inspirations:** > Thank you very much Claudia. It was also a pleasure working with you. I see your final vision and it's just fantastic. Thank you for the picture.

A: hi this tile is taupe gray elongated hex it comes in a variety of colors. **Q: Love the tile!** *(in Photo Questions)* What shade is this and where can I purchase it? I couldn't find it on Tile Design Inspiratons. I am redoing my kitchen, and this would look great with my white cabinets and darker granite countertops. Many thanks! Love this! A: This tile is made by Adex the collection is called Ocean. I carry this collection. **Q: What is the wall Colour?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: HI what is the color of the trims and ceiling. **Q: Tile issue** *(in Design Dilemma)* My bathroom is almost completely tiled, and I'm happy with all of it but this one area. I have a line of trim which goes around my bathroom including the shower. The tile is on the diagonal above this line inside the shower. This diagonal section is banded on the top by another line of trim just in the shower. On Friday, the tile man asked me if I wanted the trim to wrap around from the sink into the shower with no break. He said he'd see how it looked, but would try it. I went out and didn't return until he was gone. I came home to what you can see in the first picture which to me looks totally unfinished. I told him I didn't like the look because there's a ledge of trim that sticks out and the bull nose doesn't come out far enough. He said there wasn't that much that could be done about it because it's wider below the trim than above. He also assured me that once it's grouted, it will look fine. He did take out the quarter round and said he'd make it a little longer. Is there any other solution for this? I'm so sorry I said to do this. I'd rather just have plain white on that corner. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. A: I own a tile store and I'm also a kitchen a bath designer. I always encounter issues with people that are new in the business. But, the way I approach something like this will be I will just say " I'm not sure this is the right way to go about this, I will show him the pics and say I feel like it needs to be like the picture" can you install the borders and corners like picture? I'm sure he will say yes and fix issue for you. Use your female charm it always works. **Q: What material is used on the floor?** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the mosaic tiles and colors! Also what is the cream colored tile? Is it a stone or a porcelain? A: By the way the lime stone's name is perla **Q: what kind of stone or tile?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It's called travertine tumbled yellow or golden Siena. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
