I almost gave up until I walked into Tile Sensations. The store is small enough to find selections with beautiful displays. They have such an interesting and varied tile selection. Staff are there to assist and make sure an appointment is scheduled to finalize your plan. I was so happy with my end results of designing a modern take for a 60’s kitchen. > I am doing a second bathroom project this fall and am anxiously awaiting my tile arrival. **★★★★★ — Hope Millee, May 2026** > Excellent products and even better design services! I cannot give Jennifer, Krista and everyone at tile sensations enough stars for their help with my new favorite room-my bathroom. You won’t find anyone like Tile Sensations, if you’re considering a renovation. **★★★★★ — HU-530344189, Nov. 2025** > I went in Tile Sensations to look for tile for our current remodel project of our kitchen and new butler’s pantry. I’ve never seen so much beautiful tile in one place before! The selection of color, style, material… unmatched. Deborah and also Jennifer (owner) helped me… and they both were so full of knowledge. I highly recommend Tile Sensations for all tile needs!!!! Excellent!! A+ **Comment from Tile Sensations:** > Thank you for the kind review and recommendation! We love being able to help with your tile needs! **★★★★★ — M Black, Nov. 2025** > I worked with Tile Sensations on a kitchen remodel a few years back, and more recently on a bathroom. When I needed more tile than I originally thought necessary in a big hurry, Katie pulled out all the stops to get it to Knoxville overnight, and for a fraction of the cost the vendor wanted to charge to ship. I was so impressed and so relieved. And working with the ladies of TS is just, in a word, fun! Deb and Jennifer, Katie, and the guys in the warehouse are all charming and friendly people and you can tell it's a great place to work. Unlike many companies now, Tile Sensations still gives customers that personal touch. You feel like they really want your project to be a success and for you to enjoy it. **Comment from Tile Sensations:** > Fun is what we like to do! We're thankful Katie was able to help with your tile and thank YOU for the great review! **★★★★★ — Kelsey Stone, Nov. 2025** > Debra and her team were so helpful throughout our build process when it comes to tile. They recommended an installer, answered the phone countless times to answer questions and offer recommendations and were instrumental in all the tile selections. Tile Sensations has a great selection and made the process feel much easier. **Comment from Tile Sensations:** > Thank you for the kind words, Kelsey! Debra is AWESOME and we're glad she helped ease the process! **★★★★★ — HU-213291446, Oct. 2025** > This was our second time using Tile Sensations. We had such an excellent experience the first time a few years ago that we knew immediately where to go when we found out our master shower had to be redone. We got to work with Deborah both times. She is genuinely nice and knows the product. Bonus! There is a little kid corner spot to keep all those 4- and 5-year-olds occupied. Yes please! **Comment from Tile Sensations:** > We are so happy you had a great experience and decided to return! Thank you for the lovely review! **★★★★★ — Kayla Grimmett, Nov. 2024** > Tile Sensations provided an exceptional experience during my home renovation. We purchased tiles for both the floor and shower walls of our bathroom, and the quality and selection were outstanding. Debb was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, helping us choose tiles that perfectly fit our needs and style preferences. Her expertise made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From start to finish, the team at Tile Sensations went above and beyond to ensure we were satisfied with our choices. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality tiles and expert guidance for their home projects. **Comment from Tile Sensations:** > Thank you for the wonderful review, Kayla!! We appreciate you shopping with us and trusting us to help with your project! **★★★★★ — Steve & KC Frantzen, Sept. 2024** > We visited this amazing shop in February and returned with architectural plans this past week (September). > > Helpful staff (thanks Anna and Debra) who have creative recommendations. > Plentiful and unusual inventory to help make a project sparkle with fun. > > All in all, a terrific experience no matter when you go or how long in between visits. :) > > Highly highly recommend if you're anywhere near Knoxville, TN **Comment from Tile Sensations:** > Thank you for the amazing review! We appreciate you being such loyal customers! **★★★★★ — aajs, Jan. 2024** > I was lucky to find an amazing tile shop through an internet search here in Knoxville. Debra was my designer and from the beginning she was able to understand my vision for my primary bath and pulled together the most beautiful coordinating tiles. She was very knowledgeable and professional and helped make the whole process enjoyable. She also helped pick a wallpaper for my powder bath and a tile backsplash for a bourbon bar. Her customer service was excellent when we ran into an issue with a shortage of tile (our mistake). I would definitely recommend Tile Sensations for their vast inventory of unusual tile that you would not find in a big box store. **Comment from Tile Sensations:** > Thank you for your review! We are glad you had a wonderful experience with us! **★★★★★ — masoero5, Jan. 2024** > I had completed my kitchen except for backsplash. I had spent months looking for the right tile for my backsplash. I was confused and frustrated and just stopped looking for a year. > Then I reached out to Tile Sensations. The spent time with me and found me some great tile choices. They took into account my cabinet color and countertop > Once I narrowed down to three choices the put those into a software simulation of my kitchen so I could better vision what the tile would look like. I wasnt sure if i shoud go all the way up the wall to the ceiling in parts of my kitchen. This tool made the choice easier. > They were always responsive and helpful > So glad I could rely on their expertise and direction **Comment from Tile Sensations:** > Thank you for your review! We are glad we were able to help! **★★★★★ — Sandra Korbelik, Dec. 2023** > A professional, creative team that works well together. Customer service is their focus. Their specialty is understanding what their client wants and finding creative solutions. Reasonably priced. I wish I hadn't finished my remodeling, then I could keep working with them! **Comment from Tile Sensations:** > Thank you for your review! We appreciate all our customers! **★★★★★ — Don & Susan Barksdale, Dec. 2023** > We love using tile in special rooms of our house, but find making choices daunting. Several years ago while trying to create a one-of-a-kind bathroom, we walked into Tile Sensations and met Jennifer. She listened to us, guided us, helped us find an installer and answered questions all along the way with stunning effects. So naturally, a few weeks ago, when we were in a bind to find tile for our kitchen in the house we had just moved into, we reached out to Jennifer and made an appointment. The tile needed to blend in with colors from cabinets, backsplash, and cabinet tops, plus the installer had only a couple of days available. Jennifer patiently listened and laid out all the sample materials to match colors and find exactly the right tile and expedite its delivery. Needless to say, the job is done and just what we wanted. In our mind, when tile is a question, Jennifer at Tile Sensations is the answer. ## Selected projects - [Kitchens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchens-pj-vj~491629) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 41 - Description: A variety of residential kitchen photos provided by our clients.
