Finding Inspiration at Coverings 2019

It’s been a busy few months over here at Statements. In addition to our new warehouse, which opened its doors earlier in May, we’ve been traveling around the country recently in search of fresh inspiration and products for our showroom.

We have some beautiful new products in store with brand new lines coming soon, and we can’t wait to show them to you. Until then, we wanted to tell you about the gorgeous tiles and trends we saw at Coverings 2019, a global tile and stone trade show hosted in New Orleans each year.

What is Coverings?

Coverings is the biggest event in North America when it comes to ceramic tile and natural stone. In other words, it’s like a giant playground for folks like us! It’s grown a lot over the last 30 years, and this year featured 1,100 exhibitors from 90 different countries: everywhere from Spain and Italy to Brazil, China, and Japan.

Our Favorite Takeaways

We saw many beautiful things at Coverings 2019, from striking geometric tile work to intricate stone pieces. There was something there for every taste, whether you’re a fan of vibrant colors or a pared-back, more classic look.

Our favorite thing at Coverings this year, though, was the tiled dog house collection in the Art Tile Courtyard. These dog houses were all decorated with hand-crafted tiles by TCNA (Tile Council of North America) members and were both adorable and highly creative.

We were also surprised to learn that Versace makes a porcelain tile line. We always seem to learn something new at these trade shows!

New Additions to our Showroom

Trade shows like Coverings always offer us a chance to see what new and interesting developments our vendors are coming out with. It was great to see their new lines up close, giving us the chance to bring some beautiful new additions to our showroom.

A long-time favorite of ours, a tile company from Silver City, NM, had some great new additions, shapes, color tones, and blends. Another popular marble tile manufacturer also had some new, cutting-edge offerings—no surprise, as they always seem to be at the forefront of the market. We’re sure you’re going to love them.

Coming soon…

We met with several new brands at Coverings this year and are excited to say that we’re in the process of picking up some new vendors. We’ll be announcing those new products soon, so be sure to keep your eyes on this space and to stop by the Showroom!

This warehouse is going to help us deliver even better service to our clients, thanks to its security features, safe location, and convenient access from our main showroom. We hope to see you in store soon!

Statements at Showhouse Santa Fe 2018

October is one of our favorite months. The air is slowly becoming crisp, the days are getting shorter, and our landscape becomes more colorful by the day. It also marks the return of our favorite annual fundraiser: ShowHouse Santa Fe.

An astonishing 73% of public school students in Santa Fe are living in poverty, while their classrooms are severely underfunded and under-supplied. ShowHouse, in collaboration with Dollars for Schools, is working to change that.

ShowHouse helps Dollars 4 Schools support local schools, teachers and students by raising funds for things like books, science supplies, snacks for low-income students, or covering field trip costs. In just six years, the event has raised an incredible $140,000 for the nonprofit. But we can do better.

This year, we’re delighted to play our part with not only a cash donation but by also working alongside the talented Edy Keeler of Core Value Interiors in her kitchen redesign for this year’s chosen ShowHouse. Her gorgeous design incorporates Statements tiles, and we truly think it’s one of the highlights of the house this year.

This year’s event, “World of Taste”, features a brand new dynamic twist as designers team up with top local chefs to deliver an experience for all the senses. It’s an event that simply can’t be missed!

As parents, this is a cause that is truly near and dear to our hearts. We hope you will consider joining us for an evening of beautiful design and delicious food at the ShowHouse Gala Preview, this Friday, October 5th at 6pm. Self-guided home tours are also available from October 6-7 and 13-14.

We hope to see you there!
