Bathroom renovation usually involves replacing plumbing, pipes, and floor and wall finishes. When choosing finishing materials, it is worth remembering the features of the room: high humidity, temperature changes, the need to constantly maintain cleanliness, including using detergents with active ingredients. Ceramic tiles are best suited to all these requirements.

Selecting a design Today, manufacturers of such products offer a huge selection of products of various colors, sizes, shapes, and reliefs. It is quite difficult to choose the right option with such a variety. In terms of design, it is worth considering several nuances: A large pattern will not work for small spaces, but a small repeating pattern will not look harmonious either.

It is better to choose something in between; Story repeating patterns are an amateur's option. They usually look much better on an exhibition stand than in a real bathroom; Light glossy tiles, mirror surfaces, vertical stripes visually expand the room; White tiles hide water splashes and stains on the walls well, while dark tiles leave stains and need to be washed more often.

Designers do not recommend doing a bathroom renovation in one tone. A combination of tiles of the same color but different shades looks much more interesting. For smaller walls, choose lighter tiles, for larger ones - darker ones. Fans of bright finishes should combine colored tiles with a white ceiling and part of the wall. Tile sizes As for the size of the tiles, the main rule is proportionality to the dimensions of the room. Tiles can be laid on both the floor and the walls.

In this case, the floor finish should be thicker than the wall finish, and also larger. It is worth paying attention to collections that include optimally selected tiles for the floor and walls. Currently, 60x60 cm square tiles are in trend, smaller squares are considered obsolete. But they are relevant in accent tiles of patchwork style. In addition, when laying small tiles, there are a lot of seams. In general, the most popular sizes of bathroom tiles are 400x275 mm, 600x300 mm, 500x200 mm. Such elements help to visually make the space larger.

Another simple rule: elements of the same shape as the room itself are used for decoration. For example, rectangular tiles fit perfectly into a rectangular bathroom. Cost of production The cost of bathroom tiles is determined by several factors. These include manufacturing technology, raw materials, and the brand that produces the products. Inexpensive tiles usually have a simple design, but cheap products can vary in size, even if they are sold in one box. To calculate the cost of the material, simply multiply the surface area by the price per square meter of tile.
