"Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you are"-Nate Berkus.

To make a house your home you will need to make sure it reflects your values and personality to the onlooker. Remodelling the entire house is indeed a challenging task and requires a ton of time and planning. The main part of the whole remodelling process is ideation but don't worry about it because we have got more than enough for you.

So, if you are planning to build a new house or require remodelling and revamping the existing one then here is a complete guide to help you with it.



How much does it cost to renovate a house?

The total cost of renovation usually depends on several factors, which are mentioned below:

Quantity of tiles: The more tiles required, the higher the cost will be.

Quality of tiles: High-end tiles tend to be more expensive than lower-quality options.

Type of tile: Different types of tiles, such as ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone, have varying costs.

Installation costs: The cost of labour for installation, including the cost of any necessary tools, will affect the overall cost.

Location: The cost of tiles and installation may vary depending on the region or location of the home.

Size of the room: Larger rooms will require more tiles and therefore, a higher cost.

These are some of the factors that can impact the cost of a home remodelling project using tiles. So, make sure you consider all these costs before beginning your home remodelling project!


Planning your home remodelling project

Planning your home remodelling project

This is the initial and the most vital step of the home remodelling project. So, start with understanding your entire space and the areas that require remodelling. Once you have prepared a list of the changes make sure the end goal is clear before beginning.

Ask yourself the question, "what do I want from this change in this particular area". Be clear about your wants because it will surely affect the result. If you have a partner and kids then make sure to discuss the whole project with them. They will be more than happy to incorporate their ideas and executing them will only make them all happy and satisfied. The giggles, smiles and laughter are the souls of the house and without them, home is not home.

Hopefully, you are on the same page as so. Let's begin with the exploration of every nook and corner of the house with AGL tiles.


Outdoor Area

Outdoor Area

It is obvious that before entering the house your eyes will stumble upon the outdoor area. This usually is the exterior of the house which is always exposed to the weather. Since the outdoor area has to withstand the harsh conditions, undoubtedly it should be strong and last longing. The roof and outside wall of your home are also a part of the outdoor area. The strength of your entire house depends on the foundation on which it is laid.

Likewise, the sturdiness of the outdoors relies on the materials that have been used to build it. People often are in a misconception that something durable cannot be beautiful. The first impression is always the last, even for the houses too. Don't worry about it because these outdoor tiles will work wonders wherever installed.


Parking Area

As the name suggests, parking tiles are specially made for parking areas and garages. Make sure to keep parking tiles as your top priority while selecting the flooring options for your parking space. These tiles are extremely sturdy and can easily withstand heavy foot traffic as well as wear & tear over the long term.

Apart from the parking space you also need to consider the outdoor materials used on the walls. This will help you beautify your house and enhance the functionality of the same space as well.

You can modify the outdoor area by adding newer things to uplift the face of that area.

  • If you live in an area where winter prevails most of the time then building a cosy fireplace is a great area.
  • You can build a nice lounge area with a centre table and chairs surrounding it so you and your friends can spend mornings, afternoons and evenings together.
  • Fond of nature? Then add your favourite plants or heck even build a full-fledged garden with plenty of space to chill and sunbathe by using various tile materials.

Parking Area


Then the hallway it is

Then the hallway it is

It is a fact that visitors will take a moment to admire the outer beauty of your house. But, they won't just stand there forever, right? Once they enter through the door, they will be greeted by your hallway which might lead up to the living room and other areas of your house. Do us and your house a favour by not neglecting the hallway. The hallway quickly gets dirty and experiences a fair share of footwork. This means that the hallway flooring must be durable if not anything else.

Don't commit to the flooring project before going through multiple ideas. Because flooring requires a ton of effort and changing it, again and again, is not a viable task.

An ideal flooring for the hallway will be both elegant and durable. Here are some hallway design.

Ideas and inspirations to help select the best one.

  • Go for a classic chequered design. This usually involves the black and white colour of floor tiles. It is a perfect way to add elements of interest to the otherwise boring hallway. Explore the many floor tiles colours by AGL to mix and match.
  • Make the hallway look more eye-catching and playful by adding bold geometric shapes. Porcelain tiles and vitrified tiles are suitable for this design idea you will have access to plenty of colours and patterns.
  • Add a touch of luxuriousness with the help of natural stones such as marble and quartz. These natural stones are usually available in large slab tiles and thus enhance the illusion of spaciousness in the hallway.

Stair Tiles

In most houses, the hallway leads to the stairs as well as the living. Let's explore the stairs first and then the living room. The stairs for sure need to be safe, beautiful and durable. When we think about all these requirements there are not so many materials that come to our mind. But there is one such material which smoothly meets all such conditions, tiles are your answer.

It is a common misconception that tiles for steps are bland and don't always offer the desired look. What is a must for a good stair flooring material?

  • Under budget
  • Easy to maintain
  • Slip resistance
  • Aesthetic look and feel

Using tile as a decorative stair riser in conjunction with existing stair treads is an excellent way to add interest to your stairs. Tiles are available in a wide range of textures, patterns, and colours to fit any style or budget. Because ceramic is far more durable than porcelain or glass, it is the most commonly used and recommended tile material for stair risers. One thing to keep in mind is that tiles are heavier than the other materials on this list, limiting where tile stairs can be built in your home. Before placing the tiles, make sure your steps can sustain their weight.

And then move onto the living area

And then move onto the living area

Don't forget that the hallway also leads to the living room. The living room is one such place where we spend most of our time with family and loved ones. For such reason, it is obvious that the living room needs to be lively.

There are numerous types of flooring you could use in your living room, and the variety of possibilities can be fascinating - or daunting. In either instance, it's simply a matter of considering the benefits and cons of each in terms of appearance, longevity, ease of maintenance, and so on.


Stylish Wood-Like Flooring

Wood has always been used for flooring across the globe in homes. With the advent of technology, a greater number of flooring materials have emerged but wooden flooring never goes out of style. In nations like India, the use of wooden flooring is minimal but to achieve the same look, wood-like flooring tiles are in trend.


Go For Floor Tiles

Floor tiles are the most common type of flooring material that you should check out. The kitchen and bathroom are not the only areas to use floor tiles. Because the tiles can perfectly fit in the living area as well.

Both vitrified tiles and ceramic tiles can be excellent choices for this high-traffic area, providing the beauty of diverse colours along with durability.

If you want something softer then consider installing a rug on top of this tile flooring.


Add the luxuriousness of natural stone

It wouldn't be wrong to say that luxurious flooring translates into natural stone. The living room is generally a large space and incorporating the opulence of natural stone is all you need to do. Natural materials always possess unique characteristics that are carried forward to the flooring wherever it is used.

The living room usually covers a good chunk of the area and thus utilizing natural stones such as quartz and marble is ideal. Marble is supplied in large slabs which makes it a good material to install in the living room. Large slab tiles paint an illusion of spaciousness and elevate the entire face of the room.

The durability of marble flooring will easily withstand regular foot traffic wherever you may plan to install it.

Hands down, white is the most popular colour of marble flooring as it adds a touch of serenity to your space!


Kitchen Remodel

Kitchen Remodel

Kitchen, the place where our favourite meals are prepared throughout the year by none other than our beloved mum!

And also, don't forget that "the way to the heart is through the stomach". The kitchen is truly an integral part of any home. Because of it, our body is nourished and we are able to live our lives to the fullest.

So, it only makes sense to remodel the kitchen into something magical, and soothing to every set of the eyeball that falls upon it.

Here are some ways to remodel your kitchen and spark the interior with glamour.


Terrazzo flooring

Terrazzo flooring is a classic composite material that can be poured in place or precast and used on both floors and walls. It is often made of quartz, granite, glass, and marble shards mixed with cement or polymers.

It has been in use for quite a long time, especially in India. AGL tiles have multiple colour and style options for terrazzo tiles that you consider for your home remodelling project.


Add a Kitchen Island

A kitchen island can significantly improve the functionality of your kitchen.

Yes, the counters and slabs are quite useful, but a kitchen island can help you open up space even more while maintaining the illusion of closed functionality.

That is, you can change the floor plan of your kitchen by opening up the walls. Perhaps your kitchen can overlook the living room or dining area, allowing you to prepare for your friends and loved ones while remaining engaged in their conversation.

A kitchen island provides additional areas for dining or laying down cooked products. You may also convert it into a workstation by adding open shelves on the sides to accommodate your chopping board, butcher block, cheese grater, and other minor items needed for preparation before you begin preparing the dinner.


Add a Tile Backsplash

A tile backsplash is an unavoidable aspect of preparing gourmet meals for your family. You can't stop the sputtering and splattering, but you can keep them from ruining your lovely white kitchen, the

subway tile on the rear wall, or even the wood panelling.

The kitchen backsplash is strategically placed to keep the incoming moisture and grime from spoiling your new kitchen.

These structures can be installed ahead of time or utilised as a temporary measure while cooking. Removable tile backsplashes can be made possible through innovative kitchen solutions and interior design.

As an added measure to maintain your kitchen glossy and clean, you can use wax or laminate to preserve the walls and backsplash.

 

Then dive into the swimming pool

Then dive into the swimming pool

As we step outside of the house, a pool is a must that is our go-to escape during scorching hot summer days. From children to adults, everyone loves spending time in and around the pool. We all know that having a pool in your backyard is a huge investment that requires care and maintenance. The top priority of any pool is the material used in and around it.

The flooring material should ideally be safe and also eye-pleasing.

Concrete, wood and bricks are obviously the most popular type of flooring for pool surroundings.

But all of these options can be pretty bland if you are a fan of something alluring. For this very reason, AGL tiles bring to you the coolest collection of tiles to ramp up your pool area.

Any homeowner will want to make their pool deck as safe as possible for their family, friends, and visitors. Porcelain outdoor pavers are a popular pool deck material due to their slide resistance. Porcelain tiles do not become slippery or dangerous to tread on when exposed to water. This makes them an excellent pool decking material, especially if you're concerned about your youngsters slipping and falling while enjoying the pool this summer.
