A Guide to Choosing Bathroom Tile Design and Colors

Many people make the mistake of fussing over the right color and design of the tiles to be installed in various rooms and just randomly chose a design when it comes to bathroom tiles. This is because of the notion that no one actually notices or remembers the bathroom tiles and there is no point in putting time and effort in selecting them.

However, this is far from the truth. If you pick bathroom tiles without putting much though behind it, you might end up with designs that are too aggravating to look at when taking a soothing bath or with a color so light that they show signs of wear after just a few days of installation. Both the color and design of bathroom tiles must be chosen with care. Given below is a short and detailed guide to choose the right bathroom tiles.

Picking the Right Color

Color can make or break the look of any room. This must be kept in mind when choosing your bathroom tiles. All the fixtures and other elements of your bathroom might be brand new and state-of-the-art but a wrongly chosen color can destroy the entire look. Here are some things to consider when facing a choice:

• Before deciding about any particular color, think about the total size of the room and the number of walls that have to be covered. Lighter shades of floor tiles like cream shades can make a room look bigger. These are great for narrow bathrooms. When the bathroom floor is quite large, darker shades of brown and others can be chosen.
• You can put a clever designing spin on an ordinary bathroom by introducing a splash of color on any one wall. This can be in the form of several brightly colored tiles or a colorful design that looks like a piece of art.
• When in doubt, consult the color wheel or ask bathroom tilers service Sydney for direction. You will find almost all possible color shades on the wheel. The most suitable color can be chosen from here and then you can ask for tiles that fall in the given color palette.

Choosing the Right Tile Type

The texture and the finish of the tiles play an important role in how the design and the color will look. Here are some different types of textures and types you can choose from:

• Stone tiles have natural and organic patterns and generally come in neutral colors like cream, honey, pale blue etc. These might be patterns like stones or pebbles or just have a few steaks like rippled water.
• Glass tiles offer a more polished look to bathroom walls and are smooth and shiny. They are available in a wide range of colors and can elevate the look of any bathroom.
• If you can afford more expensive types, ask the hired bathroom tilers service Sydney for dense and hard porcelain tiles.

Bathroom tiles are manufactured in several textures, colors and finishes, each of which can elevate the look of your bathroom immensely if chosen rightly. Additionally, pick slip-resistant tiles for your bathroom to ensure safety.
