While choosing new tiles for your bathroom is mostly a matter of design preference, there are a few rules you should follow. Here are the do’s and don’ts of bathroom tile installation.
Do: Use Neutral Colors
Neutral colors complement a wide variety of colors and never go out of style. When in doubt, it’s best to stick to a neutral color scheme.
Do: Create Cohesion in the Bathroom Design
Using different tiles may be viable in a large bathroom, but not in a small one. Using too many tiles with different patterns and colors will make your bathroom look cluttered and cramped. If you have limited bathroom floor space, it’s best to use the same tiles for the bathroom walls and floors. Remember: when it comes to interior design, consistency is key.
Do: Use Tiles With Different Finishes
If you want to add a bit more variety to your bathroom design, you can use tiles with different finishes. Different finishes like matte and gloss capture light in varying degrees, adding texture to their surfaces.
Important note: coordinating different textures and finishes can be tricky. If you’re having trouble coordinating colors, don’t hesitate to consult a bathroom remodeling contractor.
Don’t: Go Overboard With Trendy Colors
The problem with trendy colors is that they go out of style as quickly as they increase in popularity. It’s best to stick to classic, neutral colors that will help ensure your bathroom design stays up-to-date in the years to come.
Don’t: Forget to Seal the Bathroom Tiles
Sealing the tiles will make sure they don’t lose their sheen after multiple showers.
