Better yet, we mentioned some of the hard surfaces and tile would be an option for--usually, it's used in kitchens and dining rooms and bathrooms, entryways.

Now, there's thousands of different colors and sizes, and there are larger pieces of tile that people use. And they have designs. They have decorative borders. They have just to anybody's taste.
