For Those Who Refuse to Settle: Inside the World of Bespoke Tile Design
Boise, ID – April 17, 2025 – In the realm of luxury home design, there exists a class of homeowners who demand more—more character, more creativity, and more meaning in every detail. For these clients, generic won’t do. Mass-produced isn’t inspiring. And “good enough” is never good enough. They’re the homeowners who refuse to settle.
They are the visionaries, the tastemakers, the style-conscious elite—and Timeless Creations is their artisan partner. Known throughout the Treasure Valley and beyond for delivering one-of-a-kind tile installations that function as both design and dialogue, Timeless Creations is leading a movement: one where custom tile work is no longer just a finish—it’s the foundation of a personalized, prestige-driven home.
Luxury Isn’t a Label—It’s a Mindset
"Our clients aren't looking for trends—they're looking for timelessness," says Micah Kissee, founder and master tile artisan at Timeless Creations. “We work with people who know exactly what they want—or better yet, who have a dream that needs translating into tile. And we love helping them bring that dream to life with absolute precision.”
Whether it’s a floor inspired by classic Italian palazzos, a mosaic backsplash that mimics antique Moroccan patterns, or a custom-curated marble shower built to feel like a boutique spa, bespoke tile isn’t just surface-level work—it’s a reflection of the homeowner’s soul, style, and story.
This is the essence of what Timeless Creations delivers: a remodeling experience that feels more like commissioning a work of art than hiring a contractor.
What Sets Bespoke Tile Design Apart?
In an age of templated builds and rushed remodels, bespoke tile design is a return to integrity—a revival of the artisan’s approach.
Here’s how Timeless Creations defines this refined experience:
1. Design That Begins with You
Bespoke tile starts with an intimate understanding of the homeowner—their passions, their lifestyle, their taste. The team begins each project with a Dream Consultation, exploring everything from color psychology and material preferences to how a room should feel when you enter it.
This isn’t just layout—it’s intentional design storytelling. Every tile becomes a narrative element, woven into a larger emotional experience.
2. Handpicked, Rare, and Refined Materials
From imported marble and artisan-glazed ceramic, to cut-to-spec natural stone and patterned encaustics, clients gain access to a carefully curated inventory of the world’s most exclusive materials.
"These aren’t off-the-shelf selections," Kissee notes. "They're hand-selected for the space, the homeowner, and the vision. That’s the difference between luxury and ordinary tile work—you’re not just getting a product. You’re getting a provenance."
3. Precision Installation by Certified Tile Artisans
Installation is where the vision becomes reality—and where most remodels go wrong. Not here.
Led by Kissee, a Certified Tile Installer (#1881), every member of the Timeless Creations crew is trained in advanced, high-stakes tile setting methods, including:
Bookmatched slab installations
Zero-lippage large-format placement
Custom pattern layouts (e.g., chevron, herringbone, diagonal weave)
Curbless transitions and slope-corrected wet zones
Their MasterCraft Remodeling Process ensures every line is intentional, every corner clean, and every element built to endure generations.

"I’ve worked with a lot of contractors," says Austin Zinsser, a builder who hired Timeless Creations for a high-end remodel. “What sets Micah apart is his obsession with detail. When I say he’s an artisan, I mean that word in every sense. He doesn’t just install tile. He elevates the entire project.”

"We believe in a concierge-level approach to remodeling. We’re not just providing a product—we’re delivering an experience that leaves you inspired every time you step into the room," says Kissee.
Beyond the Tile: Why Bespoke Work Increases Home Value
While custom tile work is emotionally and aesthetically rewarding, it also holds strategic value.
Luxury buyers and appraisers alike recognize the difference between off-the-rack finishes and artisanal installation. Bespoke work:
Commands attention in listings
Creates visual dominance in walkthroughs
Signals lasting quality
Often becomes a home’s signature feature
In fact, premium tile upgrades have been shown to increase perceived home value by as much as 15-20% in key rooms, such as master baths and kitchens.
"In today’s market, buyers are willing to pay more for homes that feel custom—homes with character," says Kissee. "Cookie-cutter doesn’t cut it anymore."
When You Refuse to Settle—You Build Something Timeless
At its core, the bespoke tile movement is about bringing soul back to the spaces we live in. It’s about standing in your kitchen and feeling like you’re in the home you always dreamed of. It’s about waking up, stepping into your bathroom, and being reminded: this space is a reflection of who you are.
So, for those who want the extraordinary…
For those who want art, not assembly lines…
For those who refuse to settle…
Timeless Creations is your partner.
