Smarana Tiles

You can find us in Chittissery, where we run our tile shop. It’s not a huge place, but we have managed to fit a lot of different tile samples into the space. We spend a good part of every morning just wiping the dust off the displays and moving boxes around to make room. When people come in, they usually spend a long time looking at the different patterns and colors for their floors or walls. We just let them be and answer questions if they have any about the sizes or how many boxes are left in the back. It’s heavy work, carrying those boxes out to the cars and trucks, so we stay pretty active. The shop can get a bit warm in the afternoons, but we just keep the doors open and the fans running. We aren't much for fancy decorations ourselves; we just let the tiles speak for themselves. Sometimes a customer brings in a sample from another shop to see if we have something similar, and we do our best to find a match in our stacks. We’ve seen the trends change from plain colors to more busy patterns over the years. It’s interesting to see what people choose for their homes. Most of us live nearby, so it’s a short walk or ride to work. We just try to be helpful and keep the inventory sorted properly.
