Horton Hotel x Bedrosians Tile

Choosing the Perfect Tile for Horton Hotel

When we embarked on the adventure of buying and remodeling our old rental, that we lived in when we moved back to Bakersfield— one of the most exciting (and, let’s be honest, slightly overwhelming) decisions we had to make was choosing the perfect tile!! Tile isn’t just about looks—it’s one of those ingredients that brings personality and charm to a space. With so many gorgeous options out there, we had quite the journey ahead. But after countless showroom visits, endless Pinterest scrolling, and lots of excited discussions with our team, we found our dream tile at Bedrosians, and wow, did it transform Horton Hotel into something truly amazing!!!!

Now, as we prepare to open the doors of our beautifully remodeled home as an Airbnb, we couldn’t be more excited with our tile choices. They don’t just make the space look chic—they’re also super durable and practical for all the wonderful guests we can’t wait to welcome!

Finding Our Style

The first step in our tile adventure was figuring out our vibe. We wanted something that felt effortlessly stylish yet inviting, trendy but timeless. A space that whispers (or maybe even shouts), “Come on in and make yourself at home!” We played around with everything from classic ceramic to natural stone and those oh-so-trendy patterned tiles before narrowing down our top picks.

Once we had our style nailed down, it was all about picking the tiles that would tie everything together. We leaned into a neutral color palette—it keeps things feeling airy, fresh, and super adaptable for different décor styles. The textures and finishes we chose added just the right amount of depth and charm, while the durability factor meant our tiles could handle anything from cozy movie nights, special events to fun Airbnb stays.

The first thing that grabs your attention at Horton Hotel is the front of the house of course. As you pull up, the curb appeal isn't just inviting—it’s an experience. We believe first impressions truly matter, and that is why we chose the Trumble Leger 8” x 22” Limestone Wired Mesh in beige and gray. It’s effortlessly perfect and undeniably unique. This tile work doesn’t just elevate Horton Hotel transformed it, making the entrance truly one of a kind. We also couldn’t have done the outdoor patio without this same tile. it really just makes the entire exterior of the house something special.

For our kitchen, primary bath vanity and outdoor BBQ area, we fell head over heels for Bianco Superiore Leather finish Quartzite giving that dreamy natural stone—so elegant, yet so luxurious. The tile splash in the Kitchen is Zagora 2x6 in Blanc. For the outdoor patio we wanted to keep the zelige tile, so we went with Zagora 4x4 in Blanc.

In the powder bath and hall bath, another natural stone that brings all the warmth and coziness to Horton Hotel. A perfect blend of style and functionality and that would be a Natural Stone called Taj Mahal Leather Finish Quartzite.

Installation and the Final Touches

Watching our tile choices come to life during installation was pure magic! Each space took on a whole new personality, from the sleek textures in the bathroom to modern vibes in the kitchen and the cozy inviting feel all together. Every single tile played a part in bringing our vision to life, and we couldn’t more happy as we saw it all come together.
