With a sharp focus onenvironmental sustainability, more people opt to remodel or update their homes. “People are fixing what they have rather than building something new,” says Leah Wynn, owner. “And that means either restoring existing elements or using something new that is aligned with the integrity of the original architecture.” For example, during the 80s Tuscan trend, many people installed travertine stone tiles. As they refresh their homes, they’re simplifying the existing color palette with creams to modernize the existing travertine and give the space a new vibe.
Inside Out Architecturals provides a variety of materials to create an environment customized for every individual. Leah Wynn‑with team Anna Ayala, Shelby Sunderland and Kate Burr—can help you creatively identify and define functional spaces and then personalize and beautify them.
Representing more than 50 unique decorative tile lines, Inside Out Architecturals boasts an intriguing collection of tile options from one-of-a-kind stones and large-format glass to enduring traditional flooring and historical ornamentals. “We carry the handiwork of today’s artisans in metal and ceramic tile, glass, leather and dimensional tile that are best described as art.”

Ask the Expert
WHAT ARE YOU KNOWN FOR?
Always delivering the good stuff. Every year, I go to tile conventions and on several buying trips, researching and looking for the newest hottest trends and trying to stay ahead of them. Then I bring them back to our brick-and-mortar shop. Unique imported tiles are special ordered., so once you find what you want, order ahead of time.
WHAT NEW INNOVATIONS EXCITE YOU?
Traditional looks like Delft tile and hand-painted fruit collections are making a comeback. For a few years, everything was stark and clean. Now, we’re seeing a lot of color.
WHAT IS NEW AND NOTEWORTHY?
Hand-glazed ceramic tiles with imprinted designs. Artisans start with pink terra cotta clay then imprint designs. The glaze adds layers of depth and texture: crunchy pits and holes and new colors like blues surface. They are gorgeous.
