Tiling ideas for small bathrooms.

April 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Small bathrooms can sometimes be a little hard to decorate and design due to the lack of space but all is not lost and even small bathrooms can be made into real design statements.  The tiles you choose have to be well thought out in order not to overcrowd a small room but there are ways to create any atmosphere you want, even in smaller areas.
Using busy patterned tiles will certainly not help you to make the most of your small bathroom but using the right tiles will open up the space and Tiles are the best material to use in small areas. One idea is to just use colour rather than detailed mosaic Tiles or patterned tiles but the colours you use again will both set the tone and the look and feel of your bathroom. Choosing colours that both complement each other and suit your personal preferences is vital.
Glass tiles are great at reflecting light and opening up small rooms, again try to remain simple and use simple plain designs or uniformed colours. Glass tiles are extremely hygienic and non porous which makes them ideal for wet places and they are also easy to clean and maintain.
Ceramic and porcelain tiles are also great additions and one idea is to tile half way up your walls and use a complimentary paint colour on the upper walls. In many small bathrooms there is often not room for shower cubicles but if there is, smaller tiles used from ceiling to floor add a real contrast and solid colours can be used on the floor with a complimentary colour for the walls of the shower cubicle.
Using floor tiles is also a good idea in small bathrooms because they add a flat, even surface which will create the illusion of more space. Again floor tiles need to compliment the wall tiles and any other decoration in the bathroom. In larger rooms more detail will be noticed less but in small bathrooms even the design of the towel rails and borders will be noticed much more.
The key is to plan ahead and play with colours and designs before you embark on any tiling job and remember not to leave any area unplanned, know exactly what colours and designs you are going to use, even down to any extra furnishing. Gone are the days when bathrooms are rooms which are basic and more home owners are paying much more attention to detail to make the most of their bathrooms.
