Specialties

The Pratt & Larson Tile and Stone showroom carries beautiful tile made of ceramic, glass, and natural stone. The wide range of styles and prices assure that we have the right tile for the kitchen, bath, and fireplace in your home or business. We carry tile from all over the world but we put an emphasis on local tile designers and much of the tile we carry is made right here in the Northwest, including our own tile line made in Portland, OR. Design assistance is available by appointment.

Pratt & Larson Ceramics tile is manufactured in the same building as our showroom (ask us for a tour!) and our Outlet Store offers factory seconds and over runs at discount prices.

History

The Pratt & Larson Tile and Stone Showroom was created as a place for us to showcase the tile we create right here in our Portland factory. A large portion of the showroom is dedicated to our line however we feature tile, stone and glass from other vendors as well, both local and international.

He continues to work in paint as well and his paintings can often be seen at Reta’s Side Street Gallery in SE Portland.

The tile at Pratt & Larson is absolutely amazing. Their selection is unparalleled and the quality goes without saying. Recently I spent hours in the «outlet» area in the back for a small project. Max was always very helpful and patient. I highly recommend Pratt & Larson!

I am always excited & inspired by their display of tile as it might be used. It’s even on the ceiling! The variety of colors, textures, shapes, sizes and designs stimulates my creativity. I begin to imagine making my own someday if I ever have time. If I had won the lottery, I can’t imagine how I’d ever make a decision on what to buy. But since my buget is so limited, I select from the ones in the back room or when open, the garage.
Also inspiring is the use of tile in window covering along side the stairway near the front door entrance.
First I went to take in the tile selection, but when I saw that an employee was able to bring her puppy to work, I found myself returning to visit her dog! (The puppy was a giant Newfoundland) Any work place that welcomes their employee’s animals gets extra credit from me!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the tile of Pratt and Larson. I go many times a year for inspiration and to buy seconds in the back room. I make mosaics from the tiles. Max who runs the seconds area is excellent with everyone who comes in. Welcoming and warm and knowledgeable and enthusiastic, Max is worth the trip alone. Go just to look but I dare you not to buy some of the gorgeous tiles on display. The front area will capture you as well and you may find yourself doing that kitchen or bathroom you have always wanted to do.

The quality and creativity of tile available is fantastic but what first got my attention was the massive variety. Thousands of tile styles and colors available. Then they offered to custom make anything if we could not find what we were looking for. I realized they have their own artist to make them. What they have is not mass produced. At times I thought I was in an art gallery.

Nice tile, but I went on a Monday afternoon and waited around for 20 minutes for someone to help after checking in at the desk. Maybe just back luck. Or maybe I did not look promising as a customer. Either way, kind of frustrating.

Fabulous tile work, absolutely beautiful. Great costumer service. The manager however was very snotty and unfriendly, and our tiles did not turn out the way they were originally presented. Very pricey, but worth it if your tiles turn out.

This store is heaven and hell. Hell for me because I have a difficult time distinguishing color variations. Here brown isn’t brown… Heaven because of the vast selections and color options to pick from. I’m overwhelmed in a good way. I think I need an interior designer … Help me, I’m surrounded by choices…

Pratt & Larson is the tile vampire that has sucked years from my life. And I mean that in a good way. It is just that there are so many options that I find myself wandering through the store and the connected outlet, lost in a haze, with a zillion design ideas running through my head. Then I come home and ponder, «What about that? No, maybe that? Or, wait a second, this WITH that…» It is endless.
If I lived in a house with ‘character’ then their custom tiles would be ideal. You can go crazy with all of their themed tiles from woodland creatures, to under the sea motifs and Moroccan-​patterned and multi-​hued designs. For each design you can choose the color and blend multiple colors for your custom pattern. At one point, Mr. K may have seen me glassy eyed looking at their catalog and realized he was dealing with some form of obsession.
Ultimately for my current project, I went with a more modern and clean design, so I chose tiles from another source. But, for any tile project, Pratt & Larson will continue to be one of my first stops and definitely a source of inspiration. Don’t miss the bathroom in the main gallery and if you are on a budget, the attached outlet store has a lot of lower-​priced options if you have the time and the patience to root through the bins.

The outlet has moved! It is now connected to their showroom at 1201 SE 3rd.
They used to have a huge amount of seconds/​leftovers to choose from… now their selection is minute. Worth the drive if you’re looking for full price tile… NOT worth the drive if you’re looking for a deal.

Wow, what a gorgeous showroom! I never realized how varied and beautiful tile can be. Also, Pratt & Larson very generously cut and donated tile «seconds» to the after-​school program I coordinate… between the selection and good people, they’re a business worth supporting!

Such pretty things all over the walls here. It’s like tile dream land. I could come up with ideas for days in their showroom space.
We used some of their in stock glass tile for a project three years ago and it came out beautifully. This weekend I decided to re-​tile a little table we have and I needed some extra tile (we had a little left over from the kitchen remodel). I figured it was a long shot, being able to find the same tile this long after our initial purchase but it was worth a try.
As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted by a friendly sales associate (wish I’d gotten her name!) who took me right back to the tiles I was looking for. She explained that it was probably from a different lot so it might not match up exactly, but it would be really close. I bought three sq ft (yes they let you buy in little bitty quantities on in stock items like this!) took it home and it worked perfectly!

Tremendous customer service experience here, start to finish. They make and sell amazing tile, most of which I cannot afford. However, it is absolutely worth checking this place out because their decorative tiles and decorative murals become affordable elements when blended with other, more affordable tile that you may purchase elsewhere. I plan to strategically mix in some of their tile with my overall bathroom tiling job.
Case in point — I have been looking for a metallic decorative liner tile that I could run over 45 linear feet for our bathroom remodel. I found exactly what I wanted at Pratt & Larson for $ 1.64/each (as opposed to upwards of $ 20/​each elsewhere). Sold!
It’s also worth checking out the «back room» here. If you have a small project or are looking for decorative elements, you can find items in the back room at a fraction of the cost. I found numerous decorative tiles here for $ 2/​each rather than their typical $ 10/​each price tag.
In addition to tiles, I discovered that they also carry a small selection of sinks. I found two copper sinks here for way less than anything I was finding online. Every dollar saved elsewhere in my budget means I can add to the decorative tile budget. Maybe they know that?

This place has a great variety of tile but the customer service is not so great! For example I was looking at tile and they did not have a color sample in, in that particular tile. Did the sales woman offer to get a sample in that color. No, she just said, «we don’t have that color.» So I ordered directly from the manufacturer. When I went back in to look at other tile with the samples in hand the woman noticed and said, «where did you get those samples.» I told her from the manufacturer. She stated, «Oh you side stepped us.» I said no actually if you recall I was in here last week and you did not offer to get the tile colors for me. She just looked at me and walked away.
I think they get a lot of lookers and frankly that is what you initially do when searching for tile. However I am sure after many people look, ask questions and then don’t order that gets tiring for the staff. But that is part of the business and after visiting 3 other tile stores in town and having helpful staff who offered advice and samples I know this is not the norm. But Pratt does have a great selection (at a cost!)
