The floor takes up a large part of a room’s visual space, so choose a new color for the tiles with care. Here are some factors to consider for your tile installation project to ensure your flooring is an attractive fit for the space.

A Guide to Choosing a Tile Installation Color

1. Room Function

Certain colors are popular for specific rooms because they complement the room’s function. For example, a bold color will add energy and drama to a larger entertaining space, such as your kitchen or dining room. Lighter colors make a space feel more relaxed, so they’re ideal for bedrooms, hallways, and bathrooms.

2. Room Size

A lighter hue helps small spaces look larger because they reflect light. Make smaller spaces or rooms with minimal natural light look brighter with cream or off-white colors.

Meanwhile, darker colors will make a room feel smaller. This adds visual interest and warmth to a larger space, such as your great room, so you don’t feel lost in it.

3. Traffic Patterns

Which color will work best depends on practical factors like the traffic in a space as well. Choose a darker, mottled pattern for high-traffic areas such as entryways and hallways to hide dirt and scuffs. Terrazzo tile with a blend of brown or grey and cream colors is popular in high-traffic areas for contemporary homes.

Lower-traffic areas such as bedrooms and bathrooms can have a solid lighter color since they won’t get as dirty.
