Tiling tips for small bathroom walls
One the best ways to make the most of a space is by breathing life into it with eye-catching patterning. By adding a creative flourish and a touch of artistry with pattern tiles will bring an additional feeling of spaciousness and airiness.
Patterns also give a whole new visual angle to the space, adding character and texture that distracts from the room’s size and instead draws attention to the patterns themselves.
Patterned tiles are also a great basis from which to build the rest of a space, with this working particularly well in a bathroom setting. The combination of patterned and smooth tiles can accentuate the space available and really push the positives.
For strong patterned tile options, we recommend Madeira soft grey patterned tiles, while the Lyra Black Star patterned tiles are an equally exciting choices.
