Bath Products Review: Tile
- BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (9/21/2006)
- Speaking at the 2006 Coverings tile and stone exposition, Leatrice Eisman, director of the Pantone Color Institute, noted that 35 has been designated by marketing gurus as the ideal median age to target. "Young people, more exposed to what we call the luxury market, 'get it' when it comes to furnishing or buying their first home in terms of more sophisticated styling. From the opposite end, baby boomers are thinking younger." These two extremes of demographics, she says, blend into a pan-generational consumer not so stuck on having to do things the way they've been done in the past.

Far from being cold underfoot, these tiles bring warmth to almost any room.
