If you’re planning bathroom remodeling, a vibrant tile design will easily upgrade the look of the room. With so many types and styles of tile available, use the tips below to choose the one right for your bathroom.

4 Factors in Choosing Tiles for Bathroom Remodeling

1. Room Size

The size of your bathroom will determine the type of tile that will look best. Small rooms might be overwhelmed by large or complicated tile designs, so use one color, such as white, that visually expands the space. Combine it with a small accent area in a colored or textured tile. Larger rooms can handle more bold colors and design, but stick to three or fewer different types of tile to avoid a cluttered design.

2. Color Scheme

A cohesive color scheme will tie together the features of your new bathroom. Neutrals complement any palette and make colors pop. A predominantly grey or white bath is considered elegant and modern. If you’re going for beach house cozy, you can offset white tile with pale blues and yellows. If you’re renewing the entire bathroom design, decide which feature you want to focus on. If it’s the tile, then choose white fixtures and neutral paint to let it take center stage.

3. Texture

Tiles with a raised or varied surface may add visual interest, but they’re harder to clean. However, they’ll work well on floor or shower areas since they offer more traction than smooth ceramic tiles. If you live in a humid climate, smooth tiles may be the best option to help prevent mold. In love with a textured tile? Use it in a small accent area rather than throughout the room.

4. Feel

Color contributes to feel, but so does the type of tile you select. Stone, marble, and pebble tiles all suggest a natural spa feel. Embossed tiles combined with slate can lend a European “old world” air. It’s easy to fall in love with a tile in the showroom, but consider your other bathroom remodeling goals and choose accordingly.
