The
trend now is to make the bathroom as comfortable as possible.
Work-related stress is getting higher and higher and people just need to
find more relaxing spaces in the house aside from the bedroom.
A
bathroom remodeling project might just be the answer you need if you
want an upgrade in the look and functionality of your toilet and bath.
But what should you decide on first?
Tiles: The Most-Trusted Bathroom Flooring
Choosing
the right flooring is perhaps the first decision most people make when
it comes to bathroom remodeling. And why not? Every little piece of
amenity and bathroom accessory needs to complement the color and type of
flooring available.
One of the most
popular bathroom flooring is tiles. They are durable; they withstand the
moist environment. They are easy to clean; molds and stains are easily
removable with the help of bleaching and other bathroom cleaning
products. They also come in different colors, textures, sizes, and
styles.
Bathroom Tiles Do’s and Don’ts
Here are some things you need to bear in mind if you want to make the most of your tiles for your bathroom remodeling project.
1. Always use tiles that are more than half size, if possible.
Tiles
less than half size look very skinny and silvery, they are not pleasing
to the eyes. We can never veer away from cutting because we always need
to resize tiles as we approach room boundaries (e.g. walls.) However,
you can begin to tweak the joints between the tiles as you approach the
walls of the bathroom so that the change in size becomes imperceptible
to the eyes.
2. Follow symmetrical patterns in your layouts.
We
want to create a relaxing atmosphere, as much as possible. Visual
balance is one factor that can affect this. Symmetrical or tiles with
visible patterns are more relaxing than ruggedly patterned tiles or
tiles without any patterns at all.
3. Less tile-cutting, the better.
Full-sized
tiles always look better than tiles cut in half or whatever size. But
as we said earlier, we cannot totally eliminate cutting. But as much as
possible, lessen tile cutting and use tiles of full sizes in easily seen
areas.
Give
your bathroom remodeling project a jump start by making the right
flooring decision. If you are still undecided, consulting with a
bathroom remodeling professional can help a lot. Pick up the phone and
dial the nearest contractor in your area.
