Inside Natural Stone & Tile’s Visionary Showroom
Step into Natural Stone & Tile in Indianapolis, and you’ll quickly realize that you’re not in an ordinary showroom. Instead, you’ve entered a space where design inspiration lives and breathes, where surfaces tell stories, and where homeowners and trade professionals alike discover what’s possible.
At the heart of it all is Laura Gunderman, Owner and CEO, whose passion for tile, texture, and thoughtful design has fueled the company’s growth for more than 30 years. As a proud woman-owned business, Natural Stone & Tile has long supplied Central Indiana with the world’s finest tile, stone, and wall coverings. Laura’s latest venture is a bold leap forward: a state-of-the-art showroom that turns material selection into an immersive experience.
“I wanted a place where you don’t just see tile, you interact with it,” says Gunderman. “Design is about feeling inspired, and that only happens when people can explore, touch, and imagine the possibilities for their project.”
A SHOWROOM THAT INSPIRES AND CONNECTS
This isn’t a showroom you simply stroll through, it’s a space that encourages exploration. Towering displays, rolling panels, and curated product vignettes showcase porcelain, glass, mosaics, natural stone, wallpaper and wall panels in ways that spark ideas for every style, from sleek and contemporary to timeless and elegant.
Visitors can pair floor and wall selections, experiment with colors and textures, and create mood boards on-site all with the guidance of NST’s knowledgeable team. Comfortable lounge areas and designer-friendly workspaces make the showroom a welcoming place to collaborate on everything from kitchen remodels to full-scale custom builds.
While the showroom is open to the public, all product sales are handled through builders, designers, and trade professionals, reinforcing NST’s role as a trusted partner to the region’s design and construction community.
MORE THAN A SHOWROOM: A HUB FOR COMMUNITY AND CREATIVITY
What truly sets this space apart is its multipurpose design. Beyond being a selection center, the showroom doubles as an event and education hub. A well-appointed kitchen, boardroom and training center create a backdrop for industry training, client presentations, and private events.
On Tuesday, September 9, the showroom will host the Haven Networking Night, a special gathering for the home and architecture and design communities. Attendees will enjoy a night of connection and inspiration while experiencing the showroom firsthand. Showcasing a perfect example of how Natural Stone & Tile continues to bridge design, education, and community engagement.
“The goal is simple,” Gunderman says. “If we can educate, inspire, and support our clients, they’ll not only feel confident in their choices, they’ll come back for the next project and the one after that.”
THE EXPERIENCE AWAITS
Whether you’re an architect or designer planning your next big project or a homeowner dreaming up your forever kitchen, Natural Stone & Tile’s showroom is an invitation to imagine, create, and collaborate. It’s a space built for the future of design, right here in Central Indiana.
