Tips on choosing the best tiles for small bathrooms

 When it comes to selecting tiles for your bathroom, there are several available options. Ranging from ceramic tiles to stone tiles to pebble tiles, the possibilities are endless. However, tiling a small bathroom might be a bit challenging.  

For a small bathroom, selecting the right tile requires considerable thought. Although, if done right, you can create a bathroom that is stylish and trendy. Here is a list of some guidelines that you should follow in order to get the best tiles for your small bathrooms:  

  1. Choosing the tile size: Larger size tiles can be advantageous in a small bathroom. The walls and floors are less congested, and the room appears larger with fewer grout lines. Smaller tiles, like mosaics, will result in a lot of grout lines, which can give the walls of your bathroom a grid-like appearance, making the bathroom appear even smaller.  

  1. Choosing the tile colour: It is recommended to choose a neutral colour palette for your small bathroom. Lighter colour tiles such as white, cream, or even light grey can help enhance the sense of spaciousness and make your small bathroom look bigger.  

  1. Patterned tiles or plain tiles: While patterned tiles are certainly a great choice to make any space look more stylish, they do make the walls look busy, hence making the bathroom appear smaller. But if you want to add character, use patterned tiles below dado rail height and light-coloured, plain tiles above. This will cause the eye to be drawn upward and across the room, giving the impression that it is larger and lighter. 

  1. Choosing the tile finish: Tiles are usually in 2 finishes – gloss and matt. A trick for tiling small bathrooms is using gloss-finish tile on the walls. Glossy finish tiles reflect light, giving an impression of space.  

  1. Tiling the bathroom floor: Anti-skid tiles are one of the most important components of a safe and functional bathroom. The bathroom floor is often exposed to water spillage, which can lead to slip and fall accidents. Hence, it is recommended to get anti-slip tiles for your bathroom floors.  

Conclusion 

These were some of the basic guidelines to keep in mind before ordering tiles for bathrooms. Yes, tiling a small bathroom can be tricky, however, by following this quick guide, you can make even the smallest of bathrooms look beautiful and more spacious.
