Minimalism in home design has been all the rage for decades, and there’s no dearth of home renovation cable TV shows encouraging a simplistic lifestyle. But on this week’s episode of the Architecture &amp; Design podcast, Erika Egede-Nissen, director of marketing at Walker Zanger, makes the case for maximalism in curating a tile collection. To really open homeowners’ and decorators’ eyes to the beauty of tiles, Egede-Nissen invited them to Walker Zanger’s slab gallery, an impressive indoor facility where guests can find the perfect slab in a comfortable, temperature-controlled environment. Walking through the showcase is like traveling back in time as the gallery displays slabs with fossils and gorgeous sentiment that has been pushed through stone over millions of years to form breathtaking patterns. “You can’t help but think about the beauty of Mother Nature as you walk through the slab gallery,” Egede-Nissen said. To her, Walker Zanger is a company of designers, creators, and artists, and her job as a marketer is to help folks doing a home remodel or building a house feel great about their decision. One of the fresher trends she wants to see celebrated is maximalism, and argues that the concept isn’t about big bold colors or using multiple prints. Rather, it can be about selecting layers of colors and textures, or mixing styles such as gold and brass. “More is more is okay," Egede-Nissen said. She likend designing a living space to curating a museum collection which isn’t amassed all at once, but built upon over time. Similarly, home designers can collect tiles and slabs over many years and gradually incorporate them into a space. In the end, Egede-Nissen just wants homeowners to fall in love with where they live and play. “Have some fun with your design that brings you joy and gives you happiness," she said.

The Case for Maximalism in Home Design with Erika Egede-Nissen of Walker Zanger

Anyone who has ever flicked through DIY shows on HGTV has gotten the itch to renovate an outdated kitchen or bath. But then the questions hit: "Where to begin?" and "how do you make the room reflect a specific personality or vibe?" Design guru and Director of Marketing for Walker Zanger, Erika Egede-Nissen joins today’s MarketScale podcast to walk us through past and current trends in refurbishing the kitchen area while educating listeners on the benefits of restyling a home with rich layers of texture, tone, and color. Before ever entering a tile showroom, consumers have already spent 70 percent of their time researching design inspiration and products online, Egede-Nissen said. The influence of Instagram and Pinterest in the home decorating market is enormous. The platforms set and sell a mood. They elevate unique design solutions and empower others to make bolder decisions in their home that really reflect the people living in it. A 1930s home, for example, is brought back to life with handmade mint green ceramic tile from Mexico sourced by Walker Zanger. These bold design choices reflect the homeowner and make for a more personalized experience. The aesthetic experience is rejuvenating, and Egede-Nissen said it “doesn’t cost that much more.” Though a pure white kitchen or bath may never go out of style, Egede-Nissen said that homeowners are getting bolder with their design choices. These consumer-driven trends are in line with the Walker Zanger mission to create unique kitchen and baths that reflect the human living in them. The Walker Zanger tailored service makes redesigning a kitchen or bath a personalized experience, where the finished product is a richly layered room of distinctive textures like ceramic tile, quartz, stone, and metal.
