Online photos and small samples don’t tell the full story. A tile or laminate that looks subtle on your phone might be very shiny, heavily patterned or completely different in real life. Finishes, thickness, texture – ye sab screen pe cheat kar sakte hain.
When you visit a showroom, you can see large panels laid out, walk on them, touch them, see how they catch light. You can compare similar shades side by side and realise, for example, that one “white” is actually quite blue, or that a pattern repeats more frequently than you’d like.
You also notice practical things: how slippery something feels, how easily fingerprints show, how visible dust or stains might be. These details matter a lot once they are in your home permanently.
A few hours in showrooms now can save years of living with, “Yaar, yeh tile online bilkul aise nahi lag raha tha.”
