What size?
Bathroom tiles are not available in one size fits all. You need to consider the dimensions of your bathroom tiles. You may find that large tiles can open up a space, but small format tiles can enhance certain areas with the right color combinations.
Take the time to measure your space and decide which size tile would be best. You should consider whether you want to tile every wall or just one section of the space, as well as whether or not you plan to use a tiled flooring.
Which color?
While white is the most popular choice for bathroom tiles, you don’t necessarily have to use it throughout your home. A wall of coloured tiles can be overwhelming in certain rooms. However, contrasting coloured tiles with a standard white option or using a border tile to create interest is a great way for a room to add some visual interest.
White is not your style? There are many other colors, such as grey, bone, sand and bone that can be used in conjunction with white bathroom suites. They come in many finishes, including wood effect and stone.
Block colours work best when used in small amounts. If you are trying to reduce your white use, then consider using soft colours in key areas such as the top of the washbasin. This area is a great place to create a mosaic pattern that adds colour but not too bold.
Which place to use?
To prevent splash back, tiles were traditionally used around baths, showers, and wash basins. However, some people prefer to cover every wall with tiles. It’s up to you to decide, but it is important to take into account the space. You’ll find a tile calculator at Victoria Plum on each page. This will allow you to quickly calculate how many tiles are needed.
You may not need to use as many tiles on your walls if you have a shower cubicle that is self-contained like one of our shower rooms. But what about your flooring? If you don’t want to use bathroom tiles, there are other options such as vinyl or laminate flooring that can be used.
