Tile is one of the most common ways to decorate bathroom walls and ceilings. This is in large part because of the versatility of tile – it has many different shapes, sizes, and colors that can be put together to make fascinating patterns. To better understand the diversity of tile options, let’s explore some of the aspects in more depth.
Shape
Tiles typically come in squares and rectangles, so when you get out an outlier like these hexagons, it makes it stand out even more. Hexagons are typically associated with bee hives, giving a naturalistic feel to this bathroom that goes well with the rustic countertop. Explore the options in sizes to find which one strikes your imagination.
Pattern
Pattern interacts with all the other elements of tile to make a striking arrangement. As in this bathroom, it often involves both the placement of the tiles as well as colors are used. The black highlight the mint green has a framing effect, helping define the walls better than they would have been if the black had been left out.
Color
Color immediately gives us the mood of the bathroom. If it’s light, we know it’s about a roomy, clean feel; if it’s black, we know there is a greater sense of romance. From the varying shades of blues of the bathroom above, we can attest to a fun-oriented bathroom, perfect for those with kids or who love to let their inner child play.
Tile Design
One aspect that interacts with color is the design on the individual tile. This bathroom tile is of many different designs that when put together make a dizzying effect on the floor. If it had been in black and white, it may have been overwhelming; in pink, it is much more palatable and pleasant. Consider how you can use tile designs to make your bathroom unique.
Size
The size of the tiles also makes a difference in the patterns available. When using very small tiles, you have the opportunity to make more intricate pattern with a greater array of colors. Size can also be varied to produce interesting effects, like including both small and large tiles in the same pattern.
Break the Norm
Whatever tile type you decide on, don’t be afraid to break the old norms! Just as this bathroom has a striking splash effect rather than opt for a typical pattern, you, too, can have a bathroom that is uniquely its own. We wish you luck in your bathroom remodeling.
