When you are working with a small bathroom, choosing the right design can be difficult. You are most likely looking for ways to make the space feel and look larger than it really is. One of the design options include tile choices. There are patterns, styles and colors that will help your bathroom look much roomier than it actually is but still be easy to clean and maintain. Silver State Floor Restoration is here to share some tile tips that can help you make the right tile choice for your small bathroom.
White, Beige & Lighter Tile Colors are Best
Much like painting the walls of a small room, choosing a light color when choosing your tile will make a small bathroom seem larger. Keep in mind that just because light colors are the best choice for small bathrooms, this doesn’t mean that you have to choose white. There are several colors that are light enough to get the job done.
Consider Larger Size Floor Tiles
When you choose a larger tile, surprisingly, it can make the bathroom appear larger. If the tile is large, less grout lines are required. This may not seem like a big deal, but when there are too many grout lines, your bathroom will start feeling closed in. The grid-like pattern produced by grout lines makes a small room seem even smaller.
Is Porcelain or Ceramic a Better Tile Choice for Small Bathrooms?
In a bathroom, you want to choose a flooring option that is going to give you the least amount of mold growth risk. Between porcelain and ceramic tiles, porcelain is the better choice. There is only a .5% absorption rate which is outstanding.
Keep the Tile Pattern Simple to Make a Room Look Bigger
Choosing a bold pattern will make the bathroom seem overwhelming. Keeping the tile pattern simple is going to make the space feel soothing and, in turn, larger. If you want to choose more than one colored tile to create a pattern, choose muted tones and keep the pattern simple, steering clear of intricate choices.
Consider a Diagonal Floor Tile Pattern
Choosing to lay your tile in a diagonal pattern creates an optical illusion. It draws the attention to the length and width of the tile and can make your bathroom feel bigger. When you choose to lay the tile in a diagonal pattern, it takes more configuring. So, before you get started, you will want to take extra time measuring and planning to be sure its done right.
Continue Floor Tiles Into the Shower
One more optical illusion to add to your small bathroom involves a continuation of the floor tiles into the shower. When you section off the floor tiles from other tile patterns in a small bathroom, it can make the room feel crowded.
