Tiles set the tone for the entire look and feel of your bathroom space. It might be the most enjoyable part of the bath renovation, but it can become too overwhelming given the wide variety of available choices. To help you narrow down what you want to make that dream bathroom a reality, we share these five tips to keep in mind.
1. Choose a Tile Design That Stands Out
Find one tile design that you’d love to incorporate into your bathroom. It could be a certain pattern, bold color, or an interesting shape. This will serve as the feature tile that will add a bit of drama to your flooring, shower enclosure, or vanity.
2. Consider Light Colors
The bathroom tends to be smaller than the rest of the rooms in your home. Sometimes, it lacks a window, which can make the whole space look closed in. Thus, it is up to the interior décor and lighting to make it feel open and airy. Consider light-colored tiles to make the bathroom space look bigger. To narrow down your choice, think about how each color will impact the perceived size of the room.
3. Complement Main Tiles With Accents
Make sure to choose another set of tiles or two that will accentuate the main ones. Choose something neutral, plain, or a simply textured style for this to allow the featured tile to take the spotlight. Keep in mind not to go overboard with it or you’ll create too many focal points in your bathroom.
4. Consider the Feel Factor
If you are going with tile flooring in your shower installation, you’ll want something that is not only comfortable on your feet but still has enough grip to prevent slippage. Mosaic-type tiles, for instance, provide additional grout lines to ensure slip resistance.
5. Determine the Tiles’ Maintenance Needs
How frequently you clean your bathroom tiles should also be a deciding factor. Textured tiles such as heavily embossed ones tend to collect more moisture than smoother counterparts. When selecting tiles, ask yourself how willing you are to be vigilant about keeping them looking their best.
