Are you building a new bathroom at your home? Or are you
considering a complete makeover of your old school bathroom? If your answer is
yes, this article is going to help choose the most right tile material for your
bathroom. Read on –
1. Light Colors –
For a bathroom, even if it has exposure to natural light, light
colored subway (small rectangular) tiles are a great choice. The light color
makes your bathrooms (bathrooms usually do not cover large area) appear bigger
and more spacious.
And if you are choosing light colored tiles, make sure that
the color of grout too is light.
2. Diagonal Tile
Placement –
If bathroom area is too small, placing tiles in diagonal
order can help create illusion of a larger space. Discuss this point with your
tile placer.
3. Not More Than
Three Styles/Colors
While planning a design layout for your bathroom, experiment
with not more than three colors or styles of tiles. More styles or colors render
a confusing distraction. It also become difficult to find a suitable and
symmetrical tile pattern when you working with multiple tiles in a single small
room.
4. Low-Maintenance
Tiles
When looking to buy bathroom tiles, emphasize on getting
something that is simple and affordable to maintain. Natural stones look
fabulous in bathroom and any other setting. However, for bathroom – an area
that gets heavy splashes of water on a routine basis – natural stones aren’t
actually a good idea.
All you will have to do is to keep a tile maintenance
service on your quick dial list, so you can call them whenever there is a
cleaning and maintenance requirement.
So, what’s the solution? Choose stone-look ceramic or
porcelain tiles – that resemble the look of natural stones, and are easy to
maintain, water resistant, fire resistant, anti-slip, and easy to maintain.
These tiles do not have porous surface – that means less likelihoods of stains
and damages.
