Explore the Step Up Tampa Remodeling Design Center

A Tampa Design Center Created for Remodeling Projects

A successful renovation is not created by choosing every material independently.

The flooring needs to work with the cabinetry. The countertop needs to complement the backsplash. Bathroom wall tile needs to coordinate with shower flooring, fixtures and the rest of the room. Colors, patterns, textures and finishes need to make sense together.

That is why Step Up Home Improvements created a dedicated remodeling Design Center in Tampa.

Our goal is to give homeowners a place where they can compare materials side by side while planning the complete renovation.

The Design Center includes extensive displays of tile, mosaics, flooring and other surface materials that can be considered for kitchens, bathrooms and larger interior remodeling projects.

Customers can look at different styles in person, compare scale and texture and begin narrowing down combinations before materials are ordered.

This is particularly valuable on larger remodeling projects where many different surfaces and finishes need to work together throughout the home.



The Step Up Design Center is not simply a product showroom. It is part of our remodeling process.

Explore Tile and Mosaic Options for Kitchens and Bathrooms

Tile can completely change the appearance of a kitchen or bathroom, but choosing it from a small online photograph can be difficult. Our Tampa Design Center provides homeowners with access to a broad range of tile and mosaic samples that can be viewed under real lighting and compared with other renovation materials.

The displays include different shapes, patterns, textures and color combinations suitable for applications such as:

• Kitchen backsplashes
• Bathroom walls
• Shower walls
• Shower floors
• Decorative niches
• Feature walls
• Accent areas
• Flooring

Seeing these materials in person makes it easier to understand the actual size of a pattern, the contrast between colors and how much visual movement a particular tile may create once installed across a larger area. Our remodeling team can also help homeowners think about how a selection fits into the complete room rather than evaluating a tile by itself.

A dramatic mosaic may be appropriate as an accent while a quieter large-format tile may work better across the primary shower walls. A backsplash needs to complement the cabinets and countertop rather than compete with them.



Those are much easier decisions to make when the materials can be viewed together.

Compare Backsplash and Decorative Tile Samples

Kitchen backsplash and decorative tile can provide one of the strongest visual details in a renovation.

At the Step Up Tampa Design Center, homeowners can compare mosaic patterns, geometric shapes, linear designs, neutral combinations, glass accents and other decorative tile styles in person.

The objective is not simply to choose the most dramatic sample.

The right backsplash should work with the cabinetry, countertop, flooring, hardware and overall design direction of the kitchen.

For bathroom renovations, decorative mosaics can also be considered for niches, shower floors, accent walls and other details.



Because Step Up handles complete remodeling projects, these selections can be considered as part of the overall renovation instead of as an isolated purchase.

See Large-Format Tile and Surface Options in Person

Large-format tile has become an important design option in modern bathroom and interior remodeling.

Larger surfaces can create cleaner visual lines, reduce the number of grout joints and give shower walls, bathroom walls and other areas a more continuous appearance.

The Step Up Design Center includes large-format samples with marble-inspired veining, stone appearances, neutral textures and other contemporary finishes.

Seeing a large sample is particularly useful because the movement and pattern of a surface can look very different across a full tile than it does in a small catalog photograph.



Homeowners can compare these surfaces with flooring, mosaics and other materials to better understand how the finished room may come together.

Compare Porcelain Tile, Stone-Look Finishes and Contemporary Surfaces

Not every renovation needs the same material or design style.

Some homeowners prefer subtle warm neutrals. Others want marble-inspired surfaces with pronounced veining. Modern projects may incorporate darker stone looks, terrazzo-inspired patterns or clean minimal finishes.

Our Tampa Design Center allows customers to compare a range of these options in person.

Porcelain and other tile products may be considered for bathroom floors, shower walls, interior floors, accent areas and other renovation applications depending on the project and manufacturer specifications.



Being able to compare several finishes at once can make it much easier to identify which direction fits the home.

Final product selection and availability can vary by manufacturer, application and individual project requirements.

Flooring and Wall Tile for Whole-Home Renovations

Larger renovations often involve much more than a single kitchen backsplash or bathroom floor.

When remodeling several rooms or a substantial portion of a home, flooring and wall materials can influence the entire interior design.

Our Design Center allows homeowners to compare different tile formats, surface textures and neutral palettes while considering how materials may transition from one area of the home to another.

For whole-home renovations, maintaining some consistency between rooms can create a more intentional finished result.

Step Up can coordinate material selections with the actual remodeling scope, including kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and other interior construction.

Design Center vs. Remodeling Showroom: Two Different Experiences

Step Up Home Improvements offers both a Tampa Remodeling Showroom and a dedicated Tampa Design Center, and each serves a different purpose.

Our remodeling showroom allows homeowners to experience completed kitchen and bathroom displays, see finished fixtures and understand how different renovation elements look once installed.

Our Design Center goes deeper into individual material selections.

Here, homeowners can compare tile, mosaics, flooring, larger surface samples and other finishes while building combinations for their own renovation.

The showroom provides inspiration.

The Design Center helps turn that inspiration into selections.

A Design Center for Tampa Bay Homeowners Planning Serious Renovations

The Step Up Design Center is intended for homeowners planning meaningful remodeling projects rather than simply shopping for one box of tile.

Our Tampa remodeling team works with homeowners on kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, whole-home remodeling and other substantial residential projects throughout the Tampa Bay area.



Customers may visit us from communities including Tampa, South Tampa, Westchase, Carrollwood, Lutz, Odessa, Wesley Chapel, Brandon, Riverview, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Safety Harbor and Palm Harbor.

Planning a Kitchen Remodel? Build the Finishes Together

Kitchen remodeling often requires several major visual selections to work together: cabinets, countertops, flooring, backsplash, hardware and fixtures.

Our Tampa Design Center allows homeowners to compare many of those materials in the same environment.

For example, a homeowner can evaluate whether a heavily veined surface works with a particular cabinet color or whether a backsplash provides enough contrast without overpowering the kitchen.

These decisions are much easier to understand when the materials can be viewed beside one another.
