Whether you’re remodeling your master bathroom or thinking about redoing your kitchen backsplash - the following are my favorite places in central Massachusetts to visit for fun tile in every variety! [In no particular order]

The Tile Shop, 476 Boston Turnpike, Shrewsbury

This is my go-to place for natural stone, as well as amazing statement tile. They have really upped the ante in the past year or so with fun, modern tile that runs the gamut from sculptural to metallic to specialty collections by Annie Selke. This showroom is ideal for folks who can be overwhelmed by choice - each tile is neatly mounted on displays in organized rows. www.tileshop.com

Best Tile, 900 Boston Tpke, Shrewsbury

This showroom hosts a little of everything. I mean everything. From natural stone, to glass mosaics from Artistic Tile and Mir Mosaics, Best Tile is a great starting point when you want to see the most variety and/or need to pull together whole tile schemes. Be sure to visit their outlet room in the back, to score some super discounted tile that’s either been discontinued, or was an order error, etc. www.besttile.com

Tiles Plus More, 309 Worcester St, Natick

If you’re in the Framingham/Natick area - this is a must stop. They have a huge assortment of just about everything, including hardwood flooring and vinyl tile. Not for the faint at heart, this place is usually insanely busy - but they have a HUGE assortment of tile. I especially love the insane amount of specialty glass and stone mosaics and large format porcelain tile on display. www.tilesplusmore.com

DAL Tile, 620 Boston Turnpike, Shrewsbury

This showroom may be small, but packs a lot of punch in a small amount of square footage. DAL Tile has long been used by building professionals in the residential and commercial spaces. New collaborations with Kristin Cavallari are modern and on point. www.daltile.com

Also worth visiting, with everything from laminate floors to LVT:
