Tile is a great way to add a splash of personality to your home. The possibilities are pretty endless these days with tile and listelles. Between ceramic, porcelain, stone and glass you have a wide variety of materials to mix and match throughout your home adding pops of color or a more interesting neutral to your overall look within your home. One of my favorite looks at the moment is painted tile to create murals. The wonderful thing about using painted wall tile instead of wallpaper is that you can easily just do a mural in one section of your wall or you can do the whole wall and still make it look cohesive and flawless while adding dimension to the room. Apartment TherapyAnother great look is adding glass mosaic tile to your ceramic backsplash. You can bring pops of color into your backsplash and create beautiful depth perception by combining two different styles of tile.Visit our showroom and take a look at our wide selection of tile. We carry several brands and have wonderful installers and consultation experts who can assist in creating a wonderful look in your home or business.Bretz Interiors1585 Allison St.Lakewood, CO 80214303-234-1727303-237-6838 Faxkyla@bretzinteriors.comwww.bretzinteriors.com ...read more

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, " Beauty without expression is boring." I think that statement can be said in regards to pretty much anything. When we stop playing it safe and our self-expression comes out, it is pretty incredible to witness. It is what makes us great at anything we do. The other day I went to the Denver Design Center for the first time. It was, in a word... okay, I'm not sure I can really describe it in a word. It was almost like being a kid, biting into a big piece of chocolate (or vanilla or whatever is your favorite) cake for the very first time. (I'm pretty sure I used this analogy as I am, at this moment, biting into a delicious chocolate mousse cake.) It is something new and exciting for someone who is just entering the world of design. But with all the (very) expensive items in the Design Center it got me thinking about how we often are willing to spend money on couches, dining sets, bedroom furniture etc but we often want the least expensive thing when it comes to our flooring and window coverings because it is such a large up front expense all at once. But the flooring and window coverings in your home can really pull together a complete look to your home and accentuate the self-expression we all strive to show in our homes. With the amount of options available these days with flooring and windows, it is absurd to not think of them as being a personal statement within your home. It may not be the first thing that someone notices in your home right now, but why shouldn't it be? Teragren Paris Black Wide-plank, high-traffic strand bamboo flooring with Xcora™ technology Allow your hardwood, carpet, etc. pull together a room so people take notice of how much time and energy you put into your home. Hunter Douglas window shadings provide very unique designs in many types of fabric and colors to enhance the environment and produce amazing lighting in your home while protecting the furniture and art you purchase for those special touches.

My Grandfather is always rightPlease visit our blog!My grandfather started thisbusinessback in 1959. He tells me all the time that when he ran this business (which is now run by his daughter and son), he only had a handful of carpet samples, and never needed a big showroom like we have today. Almost everytime I see him in our office he grumbles, "I just don't really understand why they need all this stuff in here. Who needs all these choices?!"So, here I am, my 3rd week into the family business. My mind is literally blown with all of these products. All of the carpet mills have different names for different products. They have high end, low end, polyester, nylon etc. Then we have all the ceramic tiles, the vinyl, the laminate, the engineered hardwood, the solid hardwood, the bamboo. And I realize, knee deep into my 3rd week, that when I laughed at my grandfather's grumbling before I began working here, I was incredibly naive. I had absolutely NO CLUE that the world of flooring was SO in depth, and that they are making new products ALL the time. So, the next time I see my grandfather, I will have to tell him that he was right, and that my mind is officially blown.I came from the world of insurance, and felt very strongly that purchasing insurance online was a BAD idea, especially if you don't know anything about insurance. There are so many companies and so many coverages that even people in the insurance industry who have been living and breathing insurance for 30+ years often don't know everything about a policy they are selling. And I'll tell you what, messing around with insurance is a horrible idea, because when you need it the most, you better hope it is going to protect you.My point: Always talk to an expert!Now that I've been really digging into all of this information about floor and window coverings, I understand why people in this business don't really think that people should be purchasing flooring or window coverings from places like Home Depot or Lowes, even if the prices are great. Now, I love both of these stores. As an adult, I think these stores are equivelant to candy shops for kiddos. (Now, whether or not I think it is fun to shop there with my husband is a very different story!) But with how many options we have in the flooring/window coverings industry now-a-days, I'm not sure I would trust myself to make a good decision on what the best product would be for me in my home for my situation.My family's business has been around since 1959 and was started by my grandfather. My mom, Pat Fear, has been working here for over 30 years. My uncle, Dale Bretz, has been here for 16 years. Most of our installers have been working with us for as long as my mom has been here or longer. Speaking as someone who doesn't have a whole lot of experience with this industry, but has a lot of experience with insurance and contractors, I can promise you that it is very important that the people you buy product from trust their installers and trust their product. Please also remember that a lower price does not always mean you're getting a great deal! Sometimes it also means you're getting a bad product and even worse service.My best advice to any home owner out there looking to purchase floor/window coverings is: Go with someone you can trust, and someone who is educated on the product.I am looking forward to more mind blowing information in the future!Kylakyla@bretzinteriors.com ...read more

New Bamboo Honeycomb ShadesI'm a photographer, so light is pretty important to me, as you can imagine. The first thing I think of when I start learning about new products fromHunter Douglasis what type of light would be let in or kept out. This afternoon I started reading about the newDuette Architellawith IllumiCell Honeycomb Shades and saw that they are now making them out of bamboo!Now, a little information about these Architella Batiste Bamboo Honeycomb shades:Honeycomb Shadesilluminate your home with soft light, while providing complete privacy and exceptional energy efficiency. They call these Honeycomb shades because of the shape. If you look closely at the picture, you’ll see that there is an outer cell and an inner cell. The clear inner honeycomb is engineered to provide better light transmission. The increased light through the cell allows the texture on this bamboo fabric to be more visible while still providing the same superior energy efficiency as the original construction of the Architella Shades.So for those of you looking to gogreen, this is a great option. Not only is it a big energy saver, but the Batiste Bamboo is also made from fibers of one of the world’s best renewable resources and contains recycled materials.Oh, and did I mention that you can get a Federal tax credit for up to $500 for 2011 when you purchase this product (visithunterdouglas.com/taxcreditfor more info)?! Talk about going GREEN!! Put some of that green back in your wallet and come visit our showroom today for a look at this great product from Hunter Douglas!Contact usfor a free in-home consultation!Bretz Interiors1585 Allison St.Lakewood, CO  80214-2460303-234-1727303-237-6838 FaxHours of OperationMonday - Thursday- 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.Friday- 8:00 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.kyla@bretzinteriors.com ...read more

Pet Stains Carpet Cleaners DenverCarpet cleaning health risks for petsASK THE VETFebruary 24, 2010 Q: I want to have my carpets professionally cleaned and am wondering if there are health risks to be aware of. My dogs frequently eat biscuits and lick the crumbs off the carpets. Is there a method of carpet cleaning that is safer and/or healthier for pets? And is there any particular method I should definitely avoid? A: According to the ASPCA Poison Control Center, most carpet-cleaning products can be used safely in households with pets as long as the instructions for their use are strictly followed. Many options exist for cleaning carpets these days, including companies that advertise "green/eco-friendly" or "chemical free" cleaning.  Research any companies you are considering to make sure they are reputable. Carpet-cleaning companies should provide safety data on their cleaning products upon request, which should include information on pet safety. You can also check with one of the consumer rating services or with friends to gather information on the quality of the carpet-cleaning company you are considering. It's best to keep your pets out of the house during the cleaning process, but if your pet is exposed to any concentrated cleaning solution, it is important to thoroughly wash the exposed area of skin with clean water to remove any residue. Birds, in particular, can be very sensitive to airborne toxins and chemicals, so extra precautions should be taken when using cleaning products in their environment. Please discuss this or any other particular concerns about your pet with your veterinarian before having your carpets cleaned. Just like people, sensitivity to chemicals differs among pets, so you should monitor your pet after your carpets are cleaned, especially if they are older and/or debilitated. Contact your veterinarian if you notice any skin irritation, gastrointestinal problems or other abnormalities.

Bamboo flooring is not currently regulated in the United States so it can be harvested in many ways.  Hardness is the main factor in determining the durability of bamboo floors.  Bamboo flooring can be as soft as pine or harder than maple depending on the species of bamboo used and when it was harvested.  The company we use for most of our Bamboo flooring is Teragren.  Teragren spcifies only Optimum 5.5 Mosa bamboo harvested at maturity (5 1/2 to 6 Years) when fiber density peaks.  As a result, Teragren bamboo averages 25% harder than red oak and is 12 % harder than North American maples.  A durable finish is the first line of defense for lasting beauty in wood floors.  Teragren uses a water-based, solvent free, 7 coat German finish with aluminum oxide wear layer to boost abrasion resistance, including two polyurethane topcoats for additional protection.  ...read more
