Therefore, when you decide to update your interior and install new tiles in your bathroom, it’s worth learning some secrets.

Choosing tiles of a suitable design

All the subtleties of choice

In order not to regret a bad purchase in the future, you must take into account that:

• For tiling a small bathroom, you should not buy large tiles. The smaller the tile size, the larger the area of ​​the room will appear.
• Do not overuse the number of colors used when performing finishing work.
• It is important to take into account the influence of different colors on the overall perception of the world. It is better to decorate a small bathroom with light tiles. To create a cozy atmosphere in the bathroom, you should give preference to warm colors.
• To decorate the walls, you should use at least two types of tiles of different shades and/or with patterns. Bathroom tiles with butterflies “fluttering” against the same background will look especially beautiful on plain walls.

Which drawing is better

Tile patterns in the bathroom can be very diverse. The buyer has access to a fairly large assortment, from which he can always choose the appropriate design. Manufacturers offer a wide variety of collections, presented in various colors. In particular, you should pay attention to:

• Jasmine is a collection offered by various manufacturers and can fit harmoniously into a bathroom of any size. A beautiful design, offered in soft colors, can become a real decoration of the bathroom.

• Jungle – collections, in the development of which images of the animal and plant world of the jungle were used. Depending on the manufacturer, miniature monkeys, cute crocodiles, graceful leopards, and charming birds appear on the surface of the tile.

• Bamboo is a collection represented by two types of tiles. On the first type of tile, fairly dense patterns are visible, replete with small details. On the second type of tile, on the contrary, fairly large patterns are applied, distributed over several tiles at once. By connecting two identical tiles, you can get a plant consisting of a trunk and leaves. The first type of tile is most often used for zoning a room; the second type is used for decoration.

• The azure, made in a characteristic turquoise color, will make you feel like you are on the seabed. Manufacturers offer a wide variety of solutions. You just need to decide in what sequence and how the tiles will be laid, and purchase the required quantity.

[note] Recently, geometric patterns have become increasingly popular. Therefore, if the world of vegetation does not make a strong impression on you, it is worth paying attention to geometry. [/note]

How many tiles will you need?

Layout options

Before purchasing finishing materials, you need to decide on the required quantity. To do this, you need to select the appropriate layout option. Most often preference is given to:

• Direct laying is the easiest cladding method. During the laying process, the rows are laid in a straight line. In this case, the consumption of tiles will be minimal. This will make it easy to ensure a combination of decor and main tiles.
• The “running” layout, which is best suited for laying rectangular tiles. Externally, such masonry will resemble brickwork.
• A “diagonal” layout, which will hide all possible defects and unevenness of the walls or floor. This layout method should be chosen only if the laying itself will be carried out by a professional.
• The modular method is considered one of the most complex options. In this case, tiles of different sizes and shapes are laid simultaneously. As a result, a new original ornament or pattern appears on the surface. The bathroom in this case will be unique, but, again, such a layout must be implemented by professionals.

• Linear layout, during which tiles of the same size but different colors are laid. As a result, it is possible to obtain a continuous or broken line, many parallel or, on the contrary, intersecting lines.
• Artistic layout, during which several of the above layouts are performed simultaneously, and in the end a unique room is obtained.

Calculation of the required quantity

Having decided how the tiles will be laid, you can begin to calculate the required quantity. It will depend on the size of the tiles and the goal that the home owners set for themselves.

It is best to draw the walls and floor to scale, and also reproduce the order of laying the tiles. In this case, you must immediately decide exactly where the decor will be installed and where the main tiles will be. In this case, all that remains is to calculate how many of which elements are needed.

[note]In order not to make a mistake with the quantity, you should entrust the calculation to professionals or immediately purchase tiles with a reserve. [/note]

Thus, you can always choose the right option for your room. There is always the opportunity to choose the perfect color and the most beautiful one. Whether it will be tiles with butterflies for the bathroom, some kind of plant or a complex geometric pattern - everyone decides for themselves, based on their own taste and other equally important factors. Moreover, you are already familiar with the basic subtleties of choice and the various collections offered by manufacturers.
