Dolores Catania's Dream Home: Where Style, Strength, and Personality Shine

Known for her fierce loyalty and Jersey charm, Dolores Catania brings just as much passion to her interiors as she does to her onscreen life. From kitchen remodels to complete bathroom transformations, every space in Dolores's home tells a story—with tile playing a starring role.

 

A Kitchen That Brings the Family Together

Dolores’s kitchen is more than just a gathering space—it’s the heart of her home. With a love for hosting friends and family, she wanted a space that was bright, welcoming, and low maintenance without sacrificing style. The quartz countertops offer sleek durability and stain resistance—ideal for a busy household. Underfoot, water-resistant Emerson Wood porcelain tile in Balsam Fir grounds the entire look with warmth and character. It gives the timeless appeal of hardwood with the added benefits of easier maintenance, exceptional durability, and a more sustainable profile than traditional wood flooring. As a passionate animal advocate and longtime rescuer, Dolores also needed flooring that could handle the energy of her furry family members. Porcelain was the perfect choice—it resists scratches, cleans up easily, and stands up to paws, spills, and play without ever compromising on style.

 

Tucked into the corner of the kitchen is a cozy breakfast nook—a favorite spot for Dolores to relax with her pups or enjoy a quiet coffee. The warm wood of the kitchen table adds richness to the space and pairs beautifully with the bright, airy finishes that surround it.

Neutral Foundations, Personal Touches

Throughout the main living areas, Dolores continued the warm, wood inspired look from the kitchen to maintain a cohesive and classic feel. The wood look porcelain creates flow and comfort across the home’s open layout, with a neutral palette that invites calm and elegance. Her design in these shared spaces is deliberately understated—choosing timeless textures and subtle contrast to create a relaxed, welcoming environment. These areas serve as a serene canvas for everyday life, allowing the materials to quietly elevate the space without demanding the spotlight.

But Dolores didn’t stop at timeless. She brought the unexpected with a bold fireplace moment, wrapping it in Panoramic Porcelain Surfaces in Charred Nickel. The moody, metallic concrete look brings just enough edge to balance the home’s soft tones. And with porcelain slab's nonporous surface and resistance to heat, it's as functional as it is beautiful.

 

A Powder Room with Personality

While the living spaces are calm and grounded, Dolores embraced the opportunity to be bold and expressive in her more personal rooms. In the downstairs powder room, she leaned into color and texture. She swapped traditional wallpaper for Fonte, a mosaic tile in Nautical Gray Blend—a playful hex that turns every wall into art. Venetian Calacatta marble tile on the floor adds timeless contrast, while Crystal Thassos marble slab on the vanity tops off the room with polish. It’s fresh, fashion-forward, and totally Dolores.

Primary Bathroom, Unforgettable Style

Dolores took full creative license in her primary bath, choosing tile that doubles as art. The Lavaliere, a mosaic tile in Architectural Reflections, makes the walls shimmer with a mix of natural stone and antique mirror. On the floor, a geometric blend of marble and limestone from the Decorative Accents series keeps things grounded yet dramatic. The look is luxury through and through, made even more stunning by the First Snow Super marble countertops.

Glam Meets Gold in the Kids' Bath

Where some might play it safe, Dolores leaned all the way in. The kids’ bathroom features two standout mosaic tiles from the Lavaliere series: Kapali and Melded, in a chic Alluring White and Brass combo. For the floors and counters, Carrara White marble keeps it timeless. This space glows with personality, mixing glam and elegance into one unforgettable design.

Outdoor Elegance


Even outside, Dolores keeps the style going strong. Her outdoor kitchen features extra-large Panoramic Porcelain Surfaces in Calacatta Aries—a luxe yet durable slab perfect for handling the elements while serving major visual impact. Resistant to UV rays, heat, and moisture, this surface makes outdoor living both elegant and effortless.
 

A Masterclass in Balance

Dolores Catania’s home is a reflection of who she is: bold, stylish, and deeply grounded. She used common areas to create a sense of calm, choosing understated tile and timeless surfaces to keep the home cohesive and inviting. But in her private and more expressive spaces, she let her taste shine—opting for luxurious mosaics, bold patterns, and show-stopping textures that reveal her love of fashion and individuality. Through every room, tile becomes more than just a design element—it becomes a way to tell your story, combining personal expression with the practical beauty of surfaces that are built to last.
