Karen Okner, president and show house producer, believes in artful living. She views each property she creates as a canvas celebrating the talents of pinnacle artisans, designers, and products, giving them the opportunity to shine in unmatched home environments. After producing Mesa Modern, one of the most successful Mid-century Modern design homes of Coachella Valley’s 2019 Modernism Week, her passion for curating and building show houses was ignited. Drawing on her 20-plus years of experience with fine art, graphic design, and gallery management, Karen was led to create the Design Collaborative, a collective of the best dream makers and builders in the business.

Our passion is tile, design, architecture and collaboration. And it shows.
With 30 years in the business, our experienced team has gathered an impressive collection of tiles from the U.S. and around the world in every color, pattern, material and artistic expression you can imagine. Whether you’re an architect, builder, interior designer or homeowner, we’ll partner with you to ensure that your vision for interior and/or exterior spaces comes to life.
We can jump in at any stage. But the beginning while plans are being drawn is our favorite place to start. From there, we can introduce you and your team to all the possibilities, and maybe inspire you with new options.
We’re all about conversation and collaboration. Whether you’re remodeling one room or designing and building a home from the ground up, we’ll draw on our experience and vast knowledge of tile to help you create the ideal interior and exterior environments. We invite you to explore our site for ideas and inspiration on everything from flooring, fireplaces and kitchen and bath designs to water features, pools and spas, columns and custom exterior paving.
On top of our design services, DC Tile Gallery also offers complete project and installation management to see your project through to fruition, on time, on budget and on-target with your expectations.
Working with DC Tile Gallery has been a dream. Karen's attention to detail helped take my project from good to great, I'm already looking forward to working with them again on our next project!
The Perfect Tile for Your Project.
We’ve searched the world and built relationships with established, trusted suppliers and manufacturers to find the right materials, patterns and colors for your project.
