What Are the Do’s & Don’ts of Bathroom Tile?

The right tiles will elevate the look of your bathroom. With all the options available today, it might be hard to select the best tiles for your space. Aside from appeal, also consider how easy they are to clean and maintain. That’s why it’s important to hire bathroom remodeling contractors who can help you make the best choices for your project. Keep on reading to learn the dos and don’ts of bathroom tile!

Do

Ask your contractor or designer questions. An experienced professional can help you choose the right tile for your bathroom. In addition to aesthetics, they will consider traffic, durability, safety and ease of maintenance. Once you have selected the tiles, the next step is to pick a grout color, which affects the look and maintenance of your new tiles.
Choose a tile design before the construction. You should have already chosen the style and colors of your bathroom tiles before the actual construction starts. Your bathroom remodeling contractor can base the finished wall dimensions on the size and pattern of the tiles.
Opt for classic and neutral hues. There’s nothing wrong with trendy tile shapes and colors or decorative styles. However, it’s always better to choose classic neutral hues. Keep in mind that tile is not something you can easily replace if you’re not fond of what you chose. It’s just one reason to pick neutrals and classic patterns.

Don’t

Use different tiles to create a design. Instead, go for a simple layout to accentuate the beauty of your tiles. You can still create beautiful patterns even if the tiles are of the same style.
Think that all subway tiles are the same. Many remodeling experts recommend white subway tiles in bathrooms and kitchens. Keep in mind that this classic option does not only come in one variation. It is available in larger sizes and polished or matte finishes. You can have them installed in a brick pattern, herringbone or stacked.
Forget about “wood” and “concrete.” Unique tile options you should not disregard are tiles made of porcelain that can mimic concrete, wood and marble. These tiles are a great way to enhance the look of your bathroom.
