We refer Marin based clients to CTD regularly for their selection and service. **★★★★★ — valerie23100, Nov. 2015** > We purchased a white/grey ceramic tile from Italy with the help of Steve Cerami, the owner. We love it. The installation was perfect, it opens up and lights up our living room, dining room and entry areas -- replacing carpet we have had for years. The tile is also the new very enlarged size as well--it is spectacular!!!! **★ — julieruskin524, Sept. 2015** > Beware-Daniel and the owner are fundamentally dishonest! We would recommend avoiding Ceramic Tile Design San Rafael. We have done a number of bathroom projects over the years. We have never encountered this level of dishonesty. We ordered pale gray tile and arrived home from work with a bathroom wall covered in dark gray/black tile. Daniel initially promised to help since the wrong tile had been installed. He then reneged on our agreement and stated that it was our responsibility. We corrected the problem at considerable cost. Beyond the financial ramifications, it is horrible to put your trust in people who lack professionalism and ethical standards. **★★★★★ — HOUSEWORKS, Aug. 2015** > We know our clients will find the very thing they're looking for when we send them to Ceramic Tile Design! Their staff is helpful and their designers are knowledgeable and talented. They're a delight to work with! We've done many, many projects with them over the years, and of course will continue to. **★★★★★ — Design Set Match, Oct. 2014** > One of my favorite showrooms! > As a kitchen and bath designer I love bringing homeowners showrooms with versatility and excellent customer service. Ceramic tile design has both. They have tile for all budgets and a helpful friendly staff who can assist in understanding what we are looking for and suggest alternatives when a lower costing item may be needed. They have two locations and are my first go-to location for tile for all of my projects! **★★★★★ — Integrated Design Studio, Inc., July 2014** > I have worked with Ceramic Tile Design on many of my projects including a recent house redevelopment in Mill Valley that our firm IDS designed/developed. That thanks to Christine, it turned out fantastic! She has a great blend of expertise with design, color, aesthetic, and knows where to stretch the dollar without design compromise. > CTD is a great resource, and I often send my clients to their showroom for our Landscape Architectural projects locally. They are happy to assist on both large and small projects and I recommend you talk to them early in the design process because they always have interesting ideas that you may want to incorporate. **★★★★★ — Marin Designworks Glass Tile Design & Waterjet Art, Dec. 2013** > I have worked with Ceramic Tile Design for the past twelve years. I manufacture glass tile which is sold on a regular basis through their beautiful showroom. My relationship with them is a professional one - and I must say they are one of my favorite showrooms to work with. Their knowledgeable design/sales staff is top-notch, as their design skills create some beautiful work. I've received many compliments/comments on behalf of their staff regarding the patience and design knowledge they not only have with designers and contractors, but also just regular folks who come through their door seeking that special tile to use in their home. No budget is too big or too small for this company - their customer service is excellent. > > The showroom carries an incredible amount of tile lines. They stock gorgeous porcelain imported directly from their overseas and domestic manufacturer; they feature artisan tile makers who are tops in the nation; and present a huge array of stone such as limestone, marble and travertine. > > Ceramic Tile Design is family-owned and they just celebrated its 30-year Anniversary with a huge bash of which I attended. They have two showrooms: one in San Rafael, and the other in San Francisco. The company keeps its staff for many years, thereby it's a testament as to how much they care for their employees. In essence, I highly recommend Ceramic Tile Design for those buyers who want the best experience in choosing their tile. **★★★★★ — Marin Cabinet Studio, Inc, Sept. 2013** > CTD is a ʺgo-toʺ tile resource in Marin. They have a great selection, are knowledgeable, and are pleasant to work with. Christine has really helped me with some intricate project solutions. CTD also keeps a good amount of tile setting supplies in stock for any unexpected needs. **★★★★★ — London Tile, Aug. 2013** > As a professional tile installation contractor ( London tile, Mill Valley, Ca) it is a pleasure to be able to work alongside this very well run company with their extensive range of tile and stone and installation material products. > The office and sales staff are thorough, well informed and helpful. > Ceramic Tile Design company always has the latest contemporary tile products available along with high quality traditional tiles, some locally made, some international. > We always recommend to our clients that they visit Ceramic Tile Design when choosing tiles for their project. **★★★★★ — Marin Kitchen Co, April 2013** > Marin Kitchen Co refers our tile seeking customers to this showroom often. So many tiles to choose from so little time to see each and every one. Staff is helpful and friendly. ## Selected projects - [Forest Hill Kitchen & Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/forest-hill-kitchen-and-bath-pj-vj~1938961) - Location: San Francisco, CA - Photos: 7 - Description: CTD is a family owned business with a showroom and warehouse in both San Rafael and San Francisco.

It’s beautiful. A: Hi Reeshiez, we only supplied the tile on this project so unfortunately I'm not very helpful in regards to the paint color. **Q: What is the tile?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Pinar, This is haisa natural stone shown in split face mosaic. It worked perfectly with this bathroom one of our design consultants put together. If you happen to be in the area come by our San Francisco or San Rafael showrooms and we can help design a similar project for you. Thanks! **Q: Gorgeous bathroom!** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please tell me where you can get the niche mosaic tile? Thank you! A: Hi Catsil, the mosaic is a combination of Oceanside glasstile and natural stone we had one of our local water jet companies put together for us. If you come into either of our showrooms and reference this picture we can have one of our sales people help recreate this design. Thanks **Q: what is the name of this tile? cant find it on your web site** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Sue, The mosaic in the back of the niche is a seashell mosaic called Seagate from Mir. We don't feature it on our website but we have showrooms in San Francisco and San Rafael where you can view this item in person as well as many more. You can visit our website for our address and hours here: http://ceramictiledesign.net/. Thanks! **Q: Where can I purchase white thassos 2x8" tiles?** *(in Photo Questions)* I want to make a chevron pattern white backsplash for my kitchen, but not use ceramic tile. A: Hi Coral Sun. 2x8 Thassos should be pretty easy to source. Where are you located? **Q: What is in the shower floor?** *(in Photo Questions)* thank you ! A: This is a line we import from Italy called I Marmi. Where are you located at Muddy04? If you email me at ryan@ceramictiledesign.net I'll have some pricing sent over to you.
