๐ A Customer Walks In
Someone walks into the store โ excited, but kinda stuck.
They've seen a bunch of tiles, picked a few favorites, but can't picture how they'll actually look in their space.
That's when we walk over to the TileVision screen and say: "Wanna see how this will actually look in your bathroom?"
๐๏ธ First, We Build Their Room
We start simple.
- "What room are we planning?" โ Bathroom.
- "How big is it?" โ 5 by 8 feet.
๐จ Now We Try Out Their Tiles
We add the tiles they liked from the showroom โ on the floor, the walls, inside the shower โ wherever they want to try them.
The room updates live as we go. No waiting around.
๐งฑ Time to Play with the Layout
Then come the questions: "Can I lay these in a different pattern?" "What if I do something bold on this wall?" "Is there a way to avoid too many cuts?"
The answer to it all is through our Regions feature. Here's how:
๐ฟ They Want a Sunken Shower Area
They mention wanting a walk-in shower with a step-down floor.
We draw out a custom floor region and recess it slightly to create a sunken area.Now they can see exactly how it'll look โ sized and placed just right.
๐งด Adding Niches in the Shower Wall
They ask about adding some built-in storage inside the shower.
We add recessed wall regions and give them a different tile โ for that nice contrast.They can tweak the position, tile, and depth until it feels right.
๐งฉ Final Touches โ All the Fine Details
Time to dial it in:
- Enable vein matching for natural flow
- Preview multi-face tiles for variation
- Use different tiles in different areas
- Adjust grout spacing and color to see what looks clean
This is where their space starts to feel like their space.
๐ช Add Furniture & Fixtures
Want to see how your space looks fully set up?
You can add furniture and fixtures right into the room โ sofas, vanities, plants, lighting, mirrors, decor, anything.
Just open the 3D model library, pick what you want, and drag it into the room.
You can resize and rotate each item to fit your layout and style โ and see how it all comes together with your selected tiles.
๐งฐ Other Features
At the end of the session, we can export the design as a clean, easy-to-read PDF.
It includes:
- โข Watermarked room snapshots
- โข Details of which tiles are used where (walls, floor, niches, etc.)
- โข The room's dimensions and tile quantity for each tile article
Perfect for sharing with contractors, friends, or family.
Each room design can be saved as a .tv file (TileVision format).
If the customer comes back later and says, "Can you pull up the bathroom we worked on?" โ it's all there, just as they left it.
As the room is being built out, measurements update in real time โ from floor area to wall height, to how much space a recessed region takes. This helps customers understand exactly what fits where.
The tool also includes lighting intensity controls, so you can preview how tiles will look under bright or soft lighting. It even auto-places ceiling spotlights based on the room's size โ no setup needed.
