An introduction to bathroom tiles

Among the many choices, you will have to make while remodeling or building a bathroom in your house, the one you anticipate being the most pleasant is selecting the bathroom tiles to go in the bathroom. They set the tone for the overall appearance and feel of the completed space, and they are likely to be the first thing that you notice when you walk into the room. Of course, the thrill of finally deciding on your bathroom tiles may be replaced with hesitation as a result of the enormous amount of options that are accessible. Is it better to go bright or dark? Is it better to be big or small? What do you prefer: shiny or matte? What do you prefer: sleek and modern or textured and natural? 

Texture is important 

Nature-inspired bathroom tiles may be an excellent choice if you want to create a spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom. The use of stone effect bathroom tiles, slate, travertine, natural stone bathroom tiles, and marble effect tiles will all result in a natural appearance that is firmly anchored in the environment. Natural wood tones should be used to complement these textures for a soothing and revitalizing final result. This, in turn, will give your bathroom tiles a natural effect. Texture can’t be overlooked if you’re looking to notch up the aesthetic nature of your bathroom tiles. Yes, bathroom tiles are accentuated with the right texture. 

The flooring is important too

Now that you’ve decided on a color and a material, it should be simpler to narrow down your options for floor bathroom tiles. On the main floor, I recommend that you choose a bigger tile. This will reduce the number of grout lines that need to be cleaned, which are more difficult to maintain clean than the tiles themselves.

Make careful to do a slip test on the bathroom tiles before installing it. Wet the tile and slide your foot over the surface to see if there is any slipping or sliding. Would you be willing to fall?

In order to ensure adequate drainage in the shower, you’ll most likely need a smaller format or mosaic bathroom tiles installed. There are a variety of big format floor bathroom tiles that are also available in smaller formats. If you want the color of your floor to extend into your shower area, this is a good option.

Shower areas may also be painted in a completely different color from the rest of the house. Alternatively, you might experiment with shape. It’s possible to swap up the material. Penny tile on a shower floor is one of my favorite things.

Focus on the must-have 

Typically, when we start a bathroom tiles renovation, we have one tile that we dream of including in our design. Sometimes it is a really special or unique accent tile and sometimes it is as simple as knowing that you want white subway bathroom tiles. Either way, take that dream tile and use it as the starting point for the other tile you will choose for your bathroom design.

You will typically choose floor bathroom tiles, a wall tile for the shower/tub surround, or even all of the walls in your bathroom, and an accent tile that will be used as a focal point in your bathroom. This is only intended to serve as a guideline. Make no apprehensions about breaking a few rules every now and then. When it comes to selecting the best bathroom tiles for a bathroom, there are several options.

Have a theme idea in mind

For the children’s bathroom tiles installation, I wanted to go with a classic design that was also very light and airy in appearance. Because there are no windows in this bathroom, I wanted something that would reflect as much light as possible. I chose a mirror. After seeing this tumbled hexagon tile at a bathroom tiles store, I knew it was going to be the one we used on the floor. Due to the fact that it is a little out of the ordinary and contains a lot of patterns, these bathroom tiles were a must-have for me and would also serve as a show-stopper.

I also knew that I wanted grey cabinets to match the rest of my home’s color scheme, so we ended up choosing a larger-than-usual scale matte white subway bathroom tiles (4 x 8) for the shower surround to match. There are two different finishes available, a glossy and a matte finish, and after trying both samples, we’ve decided on the matte finish. Shower, I’ve got you covered.

Consider the cleaning aspect

Having smooth bathroom tiles will always be simpler to clean, there’s no question about that! Water may have a greater propensity to settle on highly embossed tiles, natural bathroom tiles with dips and crevices, pebble tiles, and other similar materials, so keep in mind that you may need to be a little more persistent about your cleaning routine in this case. During the selection process for your bathroom tiles, consider how committed you are to maintaining the appearance of your tiles for the duration of the space’s existence.

I hope that these suggestions have made what may be a difficult decision a little bit simpler to make! Do not forget that here at Tile and Bath Co we provide a free cut sample service to make your choice even simpler, so why not buy some today?

Quality matters too

Buy only the highest-quality bathroom tiles you can afford for tiling bathtubs, backsplashes, and other places where there are limited amounts of tile, to begin with.

Take a look at the facts about bathroom tiles. It is insignificant that in a bathtub area, the cost difference between utilizing this cheap, boring $0.69 tile and a better-quality $4.75 tile is so little.

Consider the purchase of 40 full-sized, 12″ × 12″ ceramic bathroom tiles for a typical bathtub area. This is a conservative estimate. Purchasing the higher-quality tiles will result in a total payment of $162.40.

In the context of bathroom tiles installation that will be seen on a daily basis for decades to come, it is just not worth saving the $162.40 in this case.

Unless you are purchasing large amounts of tile, in which case pricing will be a consideration, do yourself a favor and purchase the tile you want. If the $0.69 “landlord’s offer” appeals to you, feel free to take advantage of it. Alternatively, purchase upward.
