With homes coming in all shapes and styles, there isn’t really a one size fits all approach that can be taken when it comes to home improvement.
This means having a little more flexibility and working towards your specific needs is a better idea.
If you are the proud owner of a large bathroom and you are keen to revamp it, it’s good to be prepared for the specific challenges it presents.
At Stone Tile Company, our specialty is providing the products and advice people need to complete a home improvement project they can be proud of.
So in our latest blog, we have put together a few tips for anybody taking on a large bathroom and wanting to bring tiles into the mix.
Tiles that accentuate the space
Arguably the most important part of adding tiles to a large bathroom space is finding the type of tile that is suited to what you are working with.
With a bigger area to cover while still looking to create a smooth feel, in large bathrooms specifically we recommend choosing larger sized tiles that accentuate cohesion and flow.
Smoother tiles are preferable to busy tiling arrangements in our opinion in larger bathroom spaces, at least on the base level.
However, we are not averse to patterned tiles on a large bathroom floor. These can help to provide a crisp yet intriguing base to a bathroom and add extra character to the room.
Careful placement of busier tiles
While generally we advise larger tile arrangements in large bathrooms, there is no reason why busier tiles cannot be used in certain parts.
For example, a splashback area behind the sink could benefit from smaller mosaic tiles, enhancing the visual diversity on show and creating a different aesthetic feel.
Other areas where busier tiles can work include shower areas and feature walls. Carefully combining smoother tile shades and busier tile varieties can bring about a beautiful contrast that will stand the test of time.
Lighter tiles or darker shades?
When tiling a smaller bathroom, we generally encourage our customers to use lighter colours and shades in order to make the most of the light that is available. This can help prevent a small bathroom from feeling boxy or claustrophobic in any way.
With larger bathrooms, this is less of an issue. It is more likely that greater amounts of natural light will be on offer, meaning you don’t necessarily have to stick to lighter tile combinations.
There is an opportunity to experiment with darker shades and give your large bathroom a deeper, richer look. Take a look at our black porcelain tiles
Of course, light shaded tiles with a smooth aesthetic are still great options for larger bathrooms. This approach can enhance the light and vitality on offer even further, and really enable you to create an airy space that oozes luxury and class.
To pattern or not to pattern
We love patterned tiles at Stone Tile Company, but they might not be ideal for a large bathroom space simply because their subtlety can be lost if used across too wide an area.
As mentioned, patterned tiles are a good feature wall option, as well as working well around shower areas or splashback areas.
You could choose patterned tiles on your floors in a large bathroom, and this is something we have seen work pretty effectively.
Generally speaking however, we advise using a little caution with patterned tiles in larger spaces. You want to ensure as best you can that the patterns on show don’t jar or prove overwhelming in the space. For this reason, smoother tiles are a safer choice.
