Part One: Tile for Floors and Walls
Remodeling your primary bath, and tile for the floor and walls can make or break the look and feel of the space. After all, they are two of the most important elements in any bathroom. When selecting tiles for a bathroom remodel, there are many different factors to consider such as durability, style, water resistance, budget, color scheme and more.
Durability is key when choosing tile for a bathroom as these areas will be exposed to moisture on a regular basis. Before you start shopping around for options, do some research on what materials work best in wet environments. Ceramic tile is one of the most popular choices due to its ability to withstand moisture without damage or staining; however, natural stone such as marble or porcelain can also be used if your budget allows for it.
In addition to durability, don’t forget about style when selecting tile for your primary bath. Think about how you want the room to look and feel—do you prefer something sleek and modern or classic and timeless? Consider mixing up different textures like polished marble with rustic wood-look porcelain tiles or intricate mosaic patterns with neutral porcelain tiles. The possibilities are endless!
When it comes to matching colors between tile and flooring, there are several ways you can go about this process. If you’re looking for something subtle yet stylish try using complementary colors from the same family (for example: light gray wall tiles paired with dark gray porcelain floors). If you’re feeling bolder opt for contrasting colors that will create a dramatic effect (such as white wall tiles paired with black hexagon mosaic floors).
No matter what type of look you’re going for in your primary bath remodel—whether it’s contemporary chic or traditional timelessness—choosing high-quality tile that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing is essential. By researching different materials available on the market today you can easily find something that meets both your practical needs as well as compliments your design style.
