A bathroom is a place where you can experiment with your creativity. This article deals with some tips on choosing your bathroom tile.

The true aesthetic of your villa lies in the interior designing of rooms. It’s certainly not an easy task because much money is invested upon each idea. So you might suppress the sensation to experiment to an extent. But one of your often visited places in home, the bathroom is away from all these worries. Its small space is the canvas for your experiments. When building up your bathroom, the most important task is tiling. The tiles you choose must endure the water drenched conditions. Style and purpose are the two important factors in the tiling of your bathroom.

Understand the purpose

Choosing your bathroom tiles is easy when you know the purpose. Since bathrooms are mostly wet, you need to opt for water-resistant tiles. Less porous tiles like porcelain tiles are most suitable for bathroom decoration. The tile you chose for your bathroom must defend bad smells, easy to clean, scratch resistant and beautiful. Highly polished tile gives shine and makes cleaning easy. But tiles that make you slip is not recommended.

Decide the look

The amalgam of durability and style is what your bathroom floor deserves. If you ignore the style factor, then the bathroom will become a negative space rather than a refreshing point. So Bathroom is the perfect place for a show-off. It can reflect your personality and creativity. But styling means expense. Coloured and deep pattern pieces are costly. So make your selection wisely. Closet or bathtub attached rooms may have multiple curves to finish. So combinations of small and large tiles are essential to plant the floor effectively. If your budget offends your luxurious plans, then think about the wow factor. You can set ordinary tiles in the floor by mixing unique stones in between. So that those special cozy stones capture your guest’s attention.

Quality matters

When you are to purchase tiles, make sure you examine the water absorbing ability of that tile. This is a primary concern because lesser the absorbing rate higher the durability. You can check the grade of tile to ensure durability. Closely watch any cracks or thickness change before fixing tile into the floor or wall. Usually, the manufacturer depicts the quality of tiles with labels. Abrasion resistance is the indicator that you need to concentrate. It shows how strong your tiles are against wear and tear. When comparing to a kitchen or living area, a bathroom is okay with low-grade tiles.

Foresee future

Once the tiles are placed, it is a tough task to replace them. Any plan to replace a tile will empty your time and pocket. So when you choose bathroom tile for your villa it must cover the modern innovations. Instead of selecting contrasting color, opt for classic and unique patterned pieces.

Different types   

You always have options. In bathroom flooring, the different types of tiles are ceramic, porcelain, vinyl, marble, travertine etc. Usually vinyl is the popular choice since it is low cost and pragmatically lasting. If you are up to patterns and colors go for ceramic and porcelain. They are much expensive than vinyl materials but are harder enough. If you wish a radical look, use stones and plastic laminated alternatives available in the market. But those are not perfect practical choice indeed.
