“I have worked in the bathroom and tile industry over the last 15 years and I was beginning to see a lot of repetition within my work and I decided that I wanted to open up more of a “boutique style” showroom. I opened the studio last September and during lockdown I opened an e-Commerce store and the business grew from there,” said Damien Dunne.

“I know a lot of people have invested money in their homes such as upgrading their bathrooms and kitchens during and after lockdown. A large percentage of our customers haven’t gone on holidays and have decided to work on their homes on jobs that they have been putting off for a while.”

As to tiles that are popular currently?
“Decorative tiles are very popular at the moment along with colorful tiles. A lot of people come into the showroom as they are looking for a different type of tile but I also find that items that people were ripping out of their bathrooms years ago are now being re-installed such as aqua marine sanitary ware, pink tiles etc,” added Mr Dunne.

“I advise people to look at Instagram and Pinterest for inspiration and there are also apps now where you can virtually design your bathroom, kitchen, hallway etc. The majority of customers will have an idea of what they are after but then there are other customers who like to visit the showroom a few times. However I have found that nine times out of 10 people will always revert back to the first tile they took a shine to!”

When it comes to the future of Adora Tile?
“I’m very excited about moving forward with the company after a successful first year in business and we already have some big plans for the future of Adora Tile so here is to many more!” concluded Damien Dunne.
