Set the Perfect Mood For Your Bathroom With Wall & Floor Tiles
After having a busy day at work, you need a hot shower or spend some time in a bathtub to relax. Therefore, you need to choose the correct tiles to create a soothing environment in your bathroom. E.g. By choosing the right colour of tiles.
It is important to understand that colour plays a very important role in our lives by creating or reflecting a mood or a feeling. In fact, it is known that change of colour can affect your mood over a given period of time.
Therefore, when deciding the colour scheme of your bathroom, you should consider all possibilities to make the right choice. To set the perfect mood with bathroom tiles, you have to:
Choose the right type of tiles
Your choice not only reflects your personality but also dictate how you will feel every time you are in the bathroom. Therefore, don’t haste in making a choice because it would turn out to be a wrong choice. Instead, you should take your time to research and ask for advice from other people to make the right choice.
The type of tiles you choose should be able to serve their purpose i.e. suitable. The tiles should be easy to clean and last longer to prevent regular replacement/repair or maintenance costs.
Ceramic tiles are considered as the ideal choice for most people because they are non-porous, slip resistant and easy to clean. Besides ceramic tiles, travertine tiles are also a good choice because their finishing surfaces maintain a consistent look all through.
This means that travertine tiles can be installed on floors or walls because they require little or no maintenance.
A slate tile has an anti-slip finishing surface that facilitates traction. Hence, you can install slate tiles on your bathroom floor. However, if you need some elegance in your bathroom, consider using marble tiles on your bathroom floor or walls.
If you consider using granite tiles, expect to replace them after a period of time because they wear off fast. However, their rate of wearing off depends on how you use your bathroom, cleaning chemicals used among other factors.
Finally, you can use glass tiles to create a unique mosaic design on your tiled bathroom wall or floor. However, glass tiles are a bit expensive compared to another type of tiles.
Decide on the look and feel
You should determine the size, shape, and colour of tiles to use before you start installing the tiles. Bathroom tiles are available in many different sizes and shapes to suit variable bathroom designs. Rectangles, triangles, octagons, hexagons, and squares are among the common shapes of tiles installed in bathrooms.
Small and medium-sized tiles are elegant and they are mostly used in small bathroom settings, around the windows, sinks, and toilet. Make an informed decision whether to use large, medium or small sized tiles in your bathroom.
The colours you choose will create a particular mood in the bathroom. For instance, white or beige tiles make your bathroom feel spacious while warm colors bring about a welcoming feel.
Cooler colours will make you feel at peace while in the bathroom. With bathroom remodels being common nowadays, there are professionals who can help you choose the right tile colours depending on what you want.
Decide the layout
Plan in advance to know what your bathroom layout will look like. Your bathroom layout also plays a key role in determining your mood while in the bathroom.
For instance, you can use contrasting grout colour to make each tile stand out or use the same grout colour to have a striking effect. You can also use different sizes and colour of tiles to decorate your bathroom.
There are different sizes, shapes, and colours of tiles to choose from and meet your expectations. Just research thoroughly, ask for advice or opinions and be creative.
