Tile

Bedrosians Tile & Stone

Ed Bedrosian opened the doors to the first Central California location of his tile store in 1948. Since then, it’s expanded to 11 other states, thanks to its stellar reputation for importing the best porcelain tile in the country. Whatever you’re looking for, you’ll find it here.

Clé Tile

Founded by artist and tile blogger Deborah Osburn in 2012, this artisan online tile shop is known for its collaborations and its collections of high-quality tile from around the globe. Expect dreamy Moroccan zellige, rustic Italian terracotta, thin American brick, and more.

Fireclay Tile

Since 1986, founder and chief ceramicist Paul Burns has been carrying on his family tradition by crafting colorful ceramic tile in California’s agricultural heartland. The company’s wide range of rainbow hues is unmatched, making it a go-to for those seeking vibrancy.

 

Paint

Backdrop

With 50 carefully curated colors, you won’t be overwhelmed with choice at this millennial paint retailer. You can test out tones with adhesive sample swatches, which are much less messy than traditional samples — as are the user-friendly, stainless steel cans.

Peel-and-stick color swatches can be found at this interior designer-led paint brand, too. The zero VOC, Greenguard Gold-certified paint is healthy for you and the environment, plus it’s self-priming, washable and durable. 

Farrow & Ball

For the best in the old-school category, this celebrated British paint manufacturer draws on historic color palettes and archives to determine its shades. It’s been in business since 1946, so it’s been excellent for decades.

 

Hardware

Rejuvenation

To strike a perfect balance between traditional and contemporary hardware, look to this popular home goods company that’s been in the game since 1977. With 10 brick-and-mortar locations across the U.S. and a robust e-comm operation, its timeless pieces are within reach.

Buster + Punch

Born in a garage in East London, this edgy home goods brand is inspired by high fashion, music, and sub-culture. It collaborates with street artists, bike builders, and clothing designers to provide pulls, knobs, and more that are infused with character.

Surfaces

Caesarstone

If durability is what you’re after, this quartz brand is your answer. It takes natural raw minerals and transforms them into strong, smooth surfaces that are easy to clean, resistant to scratches, and look sleek.

 

Appliances

  • Thanks for the reminder that the lighting is also one of the important things to look into when planning a kitchen renovation. I plan to find a good kitchen renovation service soon because I’m thinking about buying new equipment that can help me cook more complicated recipes. I think that having an overall upgrade to the kitchen itself will also be a good idea.

Renovation

We don’t believe that renovations should be daunting. The key is to arm yourself with the right knowledge, people, and products to achieve your goals. It also helps to ask the right questions: How much does it cost to renovate a kitchen? How do I find the right general contractor in my area? Where do I even start if I’ve never remodeled before? This is where we come in. Through hard-to-believe before and afters, first-person renovation accounts, and step-by-step DIY projects, we demystify every aspect of remodeling and give you a ton of full-house, bathroom, and kitchen renovation ideas. Semihandmade was built on a strong make-it-yourself spirit and we’re carrying that legacy beyond DIY kitchen cabinets (though we’ll certainly touch on those too) by bringing you a ton of weekend projects for novices (have you ever tried making your own planter?) and experts (try your hand at a full-wall media center). What do people really mean when they say a house has “good bones”? Before and after projects show first-hand what’s possible in a transformative remodel. How do you make the most of a narrow galley? Should you swap your upper cabinets for floating shelves? What would it look like if you opened up your small kitchen? Renovation ideas abound in our spotlighted projects. A lot goes into a kitchen renovation, but it’s usually hard to tell from a beautiful “after” shot. Our monthly series “Island Hopping” is about getting a behind-the-scenes account of what the process is like through honest conversations—you know, the kind that typically take place around a kitchen island. We’ll chat with designers, homeowners, and architects about their projects, hoping to peel back the curtain on picture-perfect spaces.
