My Tile Shopping Journey — From Confusion to Finding the Right Store
After the online ibo.com tile ordering experience, the next phase of our journey was offline tile shopping.
Tile shopping for our home has been one of the most unexpectedly long journeys in our construction experience. Unlike ordering tiles online or quickly picking something off a website, this time the search was real — footwork, endless showrooms, and the hope of finally finding tiles that feel right.
For the past 2~3 months during weekends, we’ve been visiting multiple tile/ ceramics showrooms around the city — each time with the hope that this visit would be the one. But honestly, it felt like walking into the same maze again and again. Some stores had limited styles/pattern, others had colours that didn’t quite match what we wante/imagined, and most of all we struggled to find tiles that really resonated with our taste and vision — something that looked right not just in photos, but in real life under real light.
We went into every visit with an open mind — no referrals, no expectations — just genuinely trying to find what would work for our space.
But after visiting so many places and still not feeling satisfied, it started feeling a bit frustrating.
Eventually, based on a recommendation from our contractor’s site engineer, we stopped by Rishab Ceramics near Uttarahalli Police Station
And honestly — this visit turned the search around.
We spent about max 1 hour here picking out tiles — not because we were pressured or pointed to that store, but because the selection genuinely matched what we were looking for. The options were better curated, the patterns and finishes were easier to compare, and the overall experience felt more natural — not rushed, not confusing. Thanks to Nithin
The key takeaway from this long process was simple:
Finding the right tiles is not just about visiting showrooms — it’s about visiting the right showroom. For anyone in the same boat, take your time — a good selection, daylight comparison, and seeing the tile samples, pattern sync with your imagination close can make all the difference.

After months of searching, walking, comparing and a bit of fatigue — finally, the journey feels worth it. Now we’re ready for the next step of installing these tiles and seeing them transform the spaces we’ve imagined for so long
