Modified materials in furniture - not scaled?

Am I correct in assuming that when I modify the material of a furniture component -- say, the countertop of a kitchen cabinet -- if I select a texture, the texture image is mapped 1:1 on the component? In other words, is the stated size of the texture ignored? (I was trying to make a tiled countertop, and I kept getting a 3' x 2' top consisting of four 18" x 12" tiles....)

Thanks!
