Seriously, I never thought choosing tiles would be this overwhelming. Spent hours scrolling Pinterest, visited like 5 stores, and now I'm more confused than ever. Anyone else feel paralyzed by too many choices or is it just me?

Totally get this feeling—been there myself. A few quick thoughts from someone who's survived tile paralysis:
- Narrow down your color palette first, it'll instantly cut your options in half.
- Trust your gut reaction; if you keep coming back to a certain style, there's probably a reason.
- Remember, tiles are just one part of the whole look. Once everything else is in place, it'll blend together better than you think.

Hang in there, it'll come together beautifully in the end...promise.

Honestly, Pinterest overload is real...been there myself. One thing that helped me was grabbing samples and actually placing them in my bathroom lighting. Sometimes what looks amazing online or in-store just doesn't vibe at home. Worth a shot, maybe?

Totally feel you on the Pinterest overload—been stuck in that rabbit hole myself more times than I'd like to admit. A few things that helped me:

- Narrow down to 3-4 favorites and grab samples (like you mentioned). Seeing them in your actual space makes a huge difference.
- Trust your gut. If something feels off, it probably is.
- Remember, tiles are important, but once the room's done, you'll barely notice minor imperfections.

Hang in there...you're definitely not alone in this tile-picking struggle.

Honestly, samples are key. Picked tiles for two bathrooms last year—Pinterest was a mess. Narrowed down to three, brought them home, and the choice became obvious. Trust your eyes in your own lighting.
