Keys to choose bathroom tiles

To choose the right tiles for your bathroom, you should first ask yourself a few questions

Bringing new life to a bathroom is one of the objectives of many families who face the challenge of renovating their home, and a large part of the success lies in the right choice of tiles. There are many decisions to be made, from the choice of material to the selection of colours, but first it is important to ask ourselves a few questions that will guide us through the whole process of buying the materials.

What does our bathroom look like? This is the most important question. If our bathroom has enough natural light, we can choose practically whatever we want as floor and wall tiles. But if the bathroom we are going to remodel is small or has no natural light, we should choose light-coloured ceramics so that it doesn’t look even smaller.

Should we choose gres or porcelain? One of the big differences between the two materials is porosity: while gres absorbs a certain amount of liquids, porcelain is much less porous, a quality that makes it the perfect material for outdoor spaces where it rains a lot.

In the case of a bathroom, however, porcelain tile is not necessary because these are not areas that are constantly wet. Thus, we can conclude that both porcelain and gres are perfect for a bathroom.

What style do we want to give the bathroom? This is where our taste comes into play. We may be looking for a modern and minimalist bathroom or we might prefer to give it a rustic touch.

If we like the modern style, we can choose tiles with a metallic or monochrome look and, if rustic is more our thing, we can go for pieces that imitate the texture of wood or natural stone, or even combine them.

Which colours do we choose? For decades, white has been the absolute king of bathrooms, especially smaller ones. However, today’s ceramic catalogues allow us to choose from a huge variety of tones, both light for smaller bathrooms and dark if we dare to go for a large bathroom or one with natural light.

In addition to pieces that imitate natural textures, we can look for colour with collections that recover the flavour of ‘traditional’ ceramics, especially in small sizes.

How do we combine different types of tiles? The triumph often lies in mixing different collections. The days of a single tile for the whole bathroom are long gone, and now we have many possible combinations, from using contrasting floor and wall tiles to choosing a complete wall in other shades.

We can also opt for decorated pieces that help us to complete the tile collections. It is impossible to get bored of ceramics!

Once we are clear about our needs based on the characteristics of our bathroom, we can let ourselves be guided by our tastes and preferences to choose the perfect tiles for our bathroom.
