Bathroom Tiling

Bathroom Tile Ideas

Often people think that when you’re tiling it's a choice between either your floor or the wall in your bathroom, but there are a few other tiling ideas which are often used to create a focal point like a beautiful design on the floor or wall. When you think you're about ready to pick your tiles ensure you have considered all the factors of the tile and their location. The location of the tiles needs to be considered because if the bathroom may be small or have a small amount of light getting to the room. Using light coloured bathroom tiles will give the bathroom it’s much-needed luminosity. When you choose your colour it is important to take into consideration of the bathroom fixtures, like the bathroom vanity cabinets, sink and the wall mirrors.

Bathroom Tile Designs

Ideas for your bathroom often come from magazines or bathrooms you have been in before and porcelain or ceramic tiles are a popular choice. Porcelain tiles can be used in any room in the house but using them in the bathroom is effective as they can be used in combination with sub-floor heating. Ceramic tiles are also typically very scratch and frost resistant. Ceramics are often used because of their impeccable durability, resistance to dampness and they are a lot easier to walk on when there wet as you can purchase slip-resistant surfacing. Also people often choose these tiles because they are easy to clean. An idea would be to use the same colour tile on the floor and wall because you could then use a different border to separate the colours. Laying the tiles in a different direction can create a better visual look to the bathroom. 

Another design tip is to select a grout colour to match the tiles and that contrasts with the tile colour. As an example using a white tile could be infused with a dark red grout to emphasise the white tile because it would stand out and be different, which a lot of people look for when they design their own personal bathroom space. When choosing your tiles it would be a good idea to use bright and bold colours, and then use fixtures on the walls to mix in the modern side of the bathroom.
