Tips For Choosing Bathroom Tiles

Bathroom tiles have a great impact on setting the tone and mood of your bathroom. You need the right bathrooms tiles and a dynamic floor design and wall pattern to turn a cramped space into an inviting bathroom area. Below are some tips to help you get the right tiles for your bathroom:

  • Take your time in deciding on the color scheme you want for your bathroom. It is important for you to make the right decision because color significantly affects the human psyche. Color sets the mood of your bathroom and influences your emotions greatly. If you want your bathroom to be a sanctuary, choose the colors that can calm and relax you.

  • Use warm-colored floor tiles. They soften the effect and counteract the cool appearance of porcelain bathroom fixtures. Make sure you paint your bathroom walls with warm colors such as warm russet or soft gold to neutralize the cool look of the flooring, tiles, and porcelain bathroom fixtures.
  • If your bathroom has a limited space, choose light-colored tiles to make it appear larger and brighter. Tiles with awkward color combinations and inappropriate designs can make an already cramped bathroom feel even more suffocating. Also, avoid patterned tiles such as those with floral and striped designs. To further create an illusion of space, buy tiles in pure, brilliant white color. They can open up the space of your bathroom and allow the available light to bounce around the area.
  • Choose tiles with complimentary tones and colors to get a balanced design that can make your bathroom's countertop area the main focal point. Combining matching colors can also add an interesting contrast.
  • For a dramatic effect, try combining bathroom tiles with contrasting colors.
  • If you want a light and crisp tone, try using a three color scheme. The third color should offer a subtle accent such as burgundy. Also, use tile borders and inlays to make a ceramic floor design more interesting.
  • For a relaxing and refreshing mood, use bold ceramic tiles with corner shower designs.
  • If you want to personalize your bathroom tiles, apply some tile transfers in shell, fish, or seahorse forms on them. You can further enhance this nautical theme by using vinyl floor tiles featuring pebble or sand designs. You can also get floor tiles with unusual images printed on them. There many flooring and tiling companies out there that create and sell these types of bathroom floor tiles with unique images and designs.
  • To reduce the coldness brought about by the ceramic tiles or stone flooring in your bathroom, cover the floor with thick, comfortable rugs. Their coverage may be limited, but they can go a long way to “warm up” your bathroom.
  • Warm up your cold tiles up by using an electric floor heating. It can turn your cold bathroom tiles into warm surfaces instantly.
