Correctly using tiles to finalise the style and look of your bathroom is perhaps the best way of giving it a co-ordinated look that will create a tasteful and elegant bathroom. 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 bathroom tile designes that are exceptionally trendy, 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. Whilst this still can look stylish, it can be seen up and down the country in thousands: if not millions of bathrooms.

To create splashes of colours, the random use of coloured bathroom tile from the same selection, can impart colour, but look stylish and contemporary, without creating a style that will easily date.

For a stylish and chic appearance try using larger tiles, they also take much less time to install. Mosaic tiles tend to date quite quickly, but look ok around wash and baseness and showers.

Many people try to imitate 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! What will happen is that the bathroom simply doesn’t work, if your space is significantly smaller than the original bathroom. Instead take some key features like a wash hand basin, shower etc and emulate these, but use your own taste and style to choose your own type of tiles etc for the rest of the bathroom. If you do this the tiles will be the right size for the room.

In a small bathroom, go for small tiles as large ones can make the room look even smaller.

Start thinking about the size and shape of your bathroom, and how the tiles will wear in the years to come. Don’t get carried away when thinking about how you want your bathroom to look, keep your head level and be realistic about what you have to work with.
