Correctly using tiles to finalise the style and look of your bathroom is perhaps the best way of giving it a co-ordinated look that will create a tasteful and elegant bathroom. To insure that the end result is a complete success there are some things you might want to consider otherwise you may end up with a style disaster!
Bathroom tiles are now very much seen as a critical way of ensuring that your bathroom looks elegant chic but also timeless. If you choose ceramic bathroom tiles that are very chic, they can look somewhat dated in a few years. It is better to use tiles that will never go out of fashion. They will still look chic in the coming years.
I thin band of colour half way up the wall is a popular look with cream or white tiles. Whilst this still can look stylish, it can be seen up and down the country in thousands: if not millions of bathrooms.
To create lots of colours, the random use of coloured bathroom tiles from the same range, can interject colour, but look stylish and contemporary, without creating a style that will easily date.
Rectangular, larger tiles can also give a chic appearance to a bathroom and are easier to put up, rather than the smaller tiles. Mosaic tiles tend to date quite quickly, but look ok around wash and baseness and showers.
Many people try to copy far extravagant bathroom designs within a tiny, standard bathroom. If you are tempted to go for the look of the ultrachic hotel bathroom you stayed in when in Paris: don’t! What will happen is that the bathroom simply doesn’t work, if your space is significantly smaller than the original bathroom. Instead take some key features like a wash hand basin, shower etc and emulate these, but use your own taste and style to choose your own type of tiles etc for the rest of the bathroom. Then you will have tiles that are appropriate for the size of room.
Sometimes, very large bathrooms tend to have very large tiles: but do not be tempted to go for this look in a small bathroom, since the tiles can make the room look smaller, go for standard rectangular tiles instead.
Thus designing a stylish look with bathroom tiles is not too difficult, but you do need to think about your bathroom, its size and how the tiles will wear and look in the future. Be realistic when designing, you have to be realistic with what you have to work with.
