I’m continuing from my original question after making adjustments. I only have two products and no professional landscape photo to display on the home page. So I’m just displaying the two products upfront.

My question now is should I use the bathroom tile background behind the products, or just go plain white? I understand I don’t want a busy background, but it seems the tile kind of simulates the landscape photo I’m missing.

Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

The Refresh template demo is a good example of what I’m attempting to do with what I have.
