What Our Design Consultants Can Do For You

What Our Design Consultants Can Do For You

We frequently get asked why we have design consultants in the store, and what they do for our customers. Here are the answers to several of the most frequently asked questions about their role at City Tile in Murfreesboro.

How will your design consultant help me when I come into the showroom in downtown Murfreesboro?

Our design consultants have years of experience with flooring products. They can tell you all about the latest trends that sell a home, and give tips about what types of flooring to use where based on traffic patterns and ease of clean up. 

Television shows and magazines that share ideas about interior design are created to appeal to a wide area of distribution, so an idea you see on one of them may not sell in this area. Not only styles, but also colors are regional. Our consultants know what is popular in this area and can help you add value to your home.

Also, they can save you time. Our design consultants know all of our lines. They can help you quickly find the flooring you are looking for, so you do not have to waste time looking through a huge warehouse of samples. Once they understand your style, budget, and the location where you will be using the flooring, our designers can narrow down option for you to come see.

 

Why not just go to a big box store, as their flooring is less expensive?


Buying flooring products is about more than just getting the best price. True, it is a financial investment, but it is also important that your flooring choices fit with your lifestyle, personal style, and add resale value to your home. Our design consultants help to ensure that there are fewer design tragedies.

And someone is going to have to install that flooring. If you are an experienced do-it-yourselfer, City Tile can often to make your job easier with tips our designers have learned from our installers over the years – as the installers have laid thousands and thousands of floors. Or, if you don’t have the time or the expertise to do it yourself, our design consultants make sure your new flooring is done right. We have contractors with whom we have worked for years.

Especially with the building boom in the Nashville MSA, finding quality subcontractors to lay your flooring can be hard. Why go through all of that when our design consultants can coordinate one of the contractors with which we have a long-standing relationship, and whom we know do good work.


 
Isn’t it going to be more expensive to work with one of your design consultants?


There is no additional fee for their services. It is part of what we do for our clients. We offer what big box stores can’t, experience and relationships. Our design consultants work with all of the major flooring vendors in the United States and overseas every day. They know what is out there.

Bring in samples of your fabrications, and a few photos of your choice of style – be it farmhouse, modern, mid-century, or something else — and they will make suggestions about the best flooring options to work with your furnishings.
Industry research notes that if you put a pencil to your expenses, you will discover that City Tile will save you money. Our experienced floor layers are going to be faster and create less mess and frustration. Also, more often than not, inexperienced do-it-yourselfers will call us to come replace work they have done because they made a mistake, the work doesn’t look professional, or because the styling is dated or extreme.

Because of our designer’s knowledge and experience we can work with you to make sure you have the durability, easy-care, design, and quality you want at a price you can afford. Leave us a comment below and let us know how our design consultants can help you!
