How to choose?
Do not choose wall tiles for floors. The tile on the floor must be rough and matte - otherwise the surface will be slippery. Rough coatings are harder to care for, but first of all you need to think about safety. For walls, you can choose materials that are less resistant to abrasion - such are glossy coatings. Glossy products are resistant to the effects of cosmetics and cleaning products, they are fairly easy to care for (the main thing is to do it regularly). Mosaic tiles are suitable for both the floor and the walls, because it is durable and it is impossible to slip on it.
Saturated deep shades of tiles will make the interior luxurious, unique. It should be borne in mind that this design option is only suitable for fairly spacious and well-lit rooms. For large and medium-sized bathrooms, you can choose a fairly large tile without patterns, having a textured or matte surface.
Recommendations for use
Laying tile coatings can be a variety of ways.
The most popular options are:
- Can be used for floor and walls tiled products of the same size and design. However, this option is not suitable if a person prefers to use accents and avoid monotony.
- Some prefer to zone a room using several varieties of tile materials. You can, for example, decorate the area near the sink and bath with ordinary coatings, and highlight the shower using mosaic tiles.
- A very common version of the design of the walls - "belt". Over the entire surface, identical tile surfaces are laid (most often they have a rectangular shape), and horizontally (usually in the middle) runs a contrasting tile.
- Using the classic white color, you can visually expand the space. One third of the wall should be made white, two thirds of the surface should be decorated with blue tile coatings.
- “Brickwork” from blue and white tiles looks very interesting. Some draw only one wall in this way, making the other surfaces uniform. For such a design is better to choose glossy tile coatings.
- To dilute the interior, you can finish one wall (behind a shower or bath) with glossy tile materials of various shades of blue. You can use products with drawings and patterns.
- If you want to visually make the walls taller, you can lay the rectangular blue tile vertically, and having completed the facing horizontally, the room will visually lengthen, while the walls will appear wider.
Bathroom should not be cluttered with furniture or decor, regardless of the size and shade of the tile. Making the room blue tiles, you need to rely on their artistic flair and take into account the recommendations of experts - in this case, the homeowner will not be disappointed with the result.
