A tasteful and chic bathroom can be achieved by correctly using tiles; it will also be co-ordinated. You should consider some interior design principles to avoid ending up with a style disaster!
To make your bathroom stand out as being elegant and stylish use carefully designed ceramic tiles. If you choose ceramic bathroom tiles that are very fashionable, they can look somewhat dated in a few years. It is better to use tiles that will never go out of fashion. They will still look chic in the coming years.
One look that has been very popular is a wall of cream tiles (or equivalent) with a band of colour midway up the wall, breaking up the colour and providing a break to the eye. While this looks good, it is extremely popular and can be seen everywhere.
To create splashes of colours, the random use of coloured ceramic bathroom tiles from the same range, can impart colour, but look stylish and contemporary, without creating a style that will easily date.
Rectangular, larger tiles can also give a chic appearance to a bathroom and are easier to put up, rather than the smaller tiles. Mosaic tiles are acceptable around the wash hand basin or shower/bath, but they can date very quickly.
Many people try to copy far bigger Bathroom design within a tiny, standard bathroom. Don’t go for the look of the five star hotels you have seen in Dubai! If the space is smaller than the original then it just won’t work. Take some of the key features of the bathroom such as the shower, hand basin and copy the style using your own taste and style to guide you in your choice of tiles. If you do this the tiles will be the right size for the room.
Sometimes, very large bathrooms tend to have very large tiles: but do not be tempted to go for this look in a small bathroom, since the tiles can make the room look smaller, go for standard rectangular tiles instead.
Thus designing a stylish look with bathroom tiles is not too difficult, but you do need to think about your bathroom, its size and how the tiles will wear and look in the future. Keep a level head when designing your bathroom, and remain realistic about what is possible.
