Bathroom Tiles
The size of your bathroom tiles depends on the visual effect you want to achieve, rather than the size of your bathroom. Choosing smaller tiles will result in more grout lines visually breaking up the space – an attractive aesthetic touch, especially if you opt for a grout colour which contrasts with the tiles.
Large format tiles, on the other hand, are a fantastic choice for creating a smoother flow and visually expanding the space. You can experiment by mixing and matching these with mosaics or patterned tiles to create feature walls in focal areas such the shower and the sink.
The first step to tiling a small bathroom is choosing light colours to make it look more spacious. Mix white bathroom tiles with other soft tones such as light grey or beige to maintain the brightness, or stick to white all-over.
Using tiles with a reflective finish such as gloss is another great way to magnify the light entering the bathroom. Tile patterns like diagonal or brick bond are also great at making your bathroom appear larger than it is.
Upscaling the look of your bathroom and infusing it with personality is an easy task with our wide range of tiles. The makeover possibilities are endless, from the bathroom tile material you opt for to the finish, colour and pattern.
