SELECTING TILE needn't be a trial. It can even be a treat, when the consumer is armed with a copy of ``The Lifestyle Is Tile,'' a booklet from the Tile Promotion Board.
Consumers who are dazed and confused by today's assortment of colors, sizes, shapes and textures may be tempted to go with the neutrals of yesteryear - until they see the dramatic possibilities of today's tony tiles.
The booklet tells the nervous newcomer how to select tile; how to take tile into the living, dining and family rooms; how to create a pattern; how to hire a tile contractor; how to - yikes! - do it yourself, and more. A list of sources of additional information is also provided.
To request a copy of ``The Lifestyle Is Tile,'' which will be available free to consumers until May 1, call the promotion board at (800) 408-8453, Ext. 905. MEMO: AROUND THE HOUSE ILLUSTRATION: Color photo

There's no need to stick to neutrals, with the variety of colors and
patterns available in today's tiles.
