About Small Bathroom Tile Ideas Android App

The tiles you choose to floor your bathroom makes a great difference to the overall appearance of the room. Tiles can make a bathroom appear smaller or larger than it really is. There are many small bathroom tile ideas which can make your bathroom look big and attractive.

The first thing to keep in mind while tiling a bathroom is to choose tiles that are resistant to moisture. You have several choices in this regard. You can choose ceramic tiles or glass tiles which have a super cool look or you can choose mosaic tiles. The choice depends on your taste and budget.

Dark colored tiles can make an already small bathroom appear smaller. Good small bathroom tile ideas include using light colored tiles. That does not mean that you have to use only white tiles. Beige and pastel shades will also work fine. The advantage of light colored flooring is that it reflects light and makes the room appear spacious.

If you decide to use white tiles, you can add some color by incorporating colored tiles at random in between the white ones or you can use the colored tiles to make a border. This will keep your bathroom from looking dull. You can use colored tiles of a single color or several colors according to your imagination. Tiles with patterns can also be used in between plain colored tiles or as borders.

Mosaic tiles also make good flooring for small bathrooms. Mosaic tiles in several light colors or in a combination of light and bright colors can be used. Choose depending on the theme and overall decor of your bathroom.

Another important aspect of tiling small bathrooms is tiling the shower or bath area differently. The tiles in the shower area should match the tiles in the rest of the bathroom. The tiles in the shower area can be of a different color or pattern from that of the rest of the bathroom. Otherwise you can use the same tiles but lay them out in a different arrangement. The idea is to demarcate the bath area without being too obvious.

These small bathroom tile ideas should help make your bathroom a small retreat instead of a cramped and dull space.

Trying to find bathroom tiles for small bathrooms can be a tough job. When the size of the room is reduced bigger tiles can make the room look even smaller so finding the perfect sized tile is important. Most people tend to go with one of two options.

Very Small
This can make the room look bigger but it also has a specific look. If you aren't a fan of really small tiles the next option is

Medium to small
In a small room you don't need the tile to be very big and can start choking up the room. If small tiles aren't your thing then stick with a medium to small tile and let the room make it appear bigger than what it actually is.

Once you have chosen the size of the tile you need to think about the best type of bathroom tiles for small bathrooms. There are many different types of tiles that you can use and the key is down to the look of your bathroom. Most types of tiles these days are compatible with small sized tiles so your don't need to limit your choice due to the smaller nature of the tiles.

You main choices are

Ceramic
Glass
Marble
Porcelain
Slate
When it comes to bathroom tiles for small bathrooms my tile of choice is definitely the small slate variety. Why - I love the small and intricate patterns that slate gives and it feels like an expensive hotel. If you are after are more homely feel its probably wiser to go with ceramic.

In short there the main differences when you have limited space in your bathroom is with the size of the tiles not really the type of tile. Best of luck with your bathroom renovations and I hope you find the prefect tile to suit your tastes.
