Many people forget to consider the size of the room when choosing wall and floor tiles. This can be a big mistake as certain varieties will make the room appear smaller. In contrast, using a suitable colour on your wall or floor can be effective in emphasising the space within your bathroom. This is particularly important in a small wet room or en suite. A popular choice for this is white bathroom tiles. The finish and pattern of the tile can also help to accentuate the size of the room. Below we provide some advice and tips when it comes to choosing tiles for small bathroom areas
Don't choose tiles which are too small if your wet room or en suite isn't the biggest. Mosaic tiles are fine if they are used as a discreet border, backsplash or on a small patch of flooring. Using small tiles throughout your room, however, increases the amount of grout lines and therefore makes the room look smaller. Larger white tiles help to produce simple, uncomplicated designs which work well in rooms with a limited amount of space.
Polished tiles can have a reflective quality which helps to make rooms appear brighter and more spacious. You have many polished white tiles to choose from including the porcelain and quartz porcelain. Polished tiles on are also recommended from a practical viewpoint as the sleek and smooth surface can be easily cleaned and dried.
Don't clutter your small bathroom with large clumpy lights which only get in the way. Create a streamlined design with ceiling and wall spotlights. Adequate lighting will illuminate your interior, making it appear bigger than it actually is. Dimly lit rooms will unsurprisingly appear small and cramped. Where possible, allow as much natural light in to the room as possible as this also helps to accentuate the available space.
White fits perfectly within any bathroom interior and has a timeless quality which ensures it can match to superb effect with contemporary styles and features. It can be complemented extremely well by chrome and wooden finishes for a modern look. It has a universal appeal and offers a fresh and inviting appearance. For these reasons white bathroom tiles are an extremely popular option and are acquired for a wide variety of designs.
