Choosing bathroom tiles for someone else has given me a lot of insight into how to teach others how to pick bathroom tiles to others. I’ve compiled a list of 5 suggestions for selecting the best tile, which I hope will be useful to you if you ever decide to redo your bathroom tiles flooring.
So here are my five recommendations for selecting bathroom tiles.
1. Select the tile that is a must-have initially.
Typically, when we begin a bathroom tiles makeover, we have one tile in mind that we would want to include in the design. Sometimes it’s a very rare or unique accent tile, and other times it’s as basic as knowing that you want a white subway tile in a certain pattern. In any case, take that ideal tile and utilize it as a jumping-off point for the other tiles you will use in your bathroom tiles design.
2. Try to limit the number of distinct tiles to no more than three.
Make the selections for the additional bathroom tiles that will be included in your design by beginning with your first (must have) pick and working your way down from there. If your must-have is a really one-of-a-kind color or pattern that will serve as the main point of your design, choose hues from it that are more muted in order to employ them in your accent tiles. If, on the other hand, your initial option is really boring (such as a white subway tile), you may want to add a pop of color with an accent tile or even a smaller size white penny bathroom tile to mix things up and provide interest.
You will often choose a floor tile, a wall tile for the shower/tub surround, or possibly all of the walls in your bathroom, and an accent tile that will be utilized as a focal point in your design. This is just intended to serve as a guideline. Make no apprehensions about breaking a few regulations every now and again. When it comes to selecting the most appropriate tile for a bathroom shower, I’ve got you covered!
3. Concentrate on a single show-stopper.
You can express yourself via your bathroom tiles in a variety of ways. A bathroom is an excellent area to showcase some of your personality and take a chance with a bright color or a fun pattern on your bathroom tiles. Keep it to a single show-stopping moment if you are going to go for it. Because it will not be competing with the other features in the space, it will make your appearance ageless and will really generate the wow factor that you are aiming for in your design. If you are working in a tiny space such as a bathroom, some of these more expensive specialty tiles may be just the splurge you need since you won’t be dealing with a large amount of square footage.)

Your show-stopping section may be as large or as tiny as you choose; the choice is yours.
4. Take into account the cost of upkeep.
Cleaning is something I despise. It’s particularly difficult for me to clean the tub and shower, so when selecting bathroom tiles for these very moist places, porcelain or ceramic tile will likely be your best bet since they are nearly maintenance-free. Then check to see whether they still need to be sealed (you may want to double-check). It is necessary to seal tiles made of real stone, which needs more upkeep than ceramic tiles. Because they have far more pores, they tend to accumulate dirt and grime more effectively. If you want to utilize the stone to add texture to your space, it may be best to place it on the floor or in a less moist spot. Finally, glass tile is really attractive and may be used as a wall or accent tile. Because it is very slippery, it does not perform well on a hard surface such as a floor.
5. Take into consideration the scale.
If you look at the current bathroom tiles flooring trends, large-size tiles are unquestionably in style right now. It’s possible to utilize the same tile cut in smaller sizes in a different region of the bathroom if you decide to go that route. Using the same tile as the floor in 2 x 2s on the bathroom floor, for example, will allow you to keep the color consistent throughout the whole floor while also producing a more slip-resistant shower floor.

The following is our choice of bathroom tiles for the children’s bathroom:
For the children’s bathroom, I wanted to go with a traditional design that was also extremely light and airy in appearance. Because there are no windows in this bathroom, I needed something that would reflect as much light as possible. I chose a mirror. After seeing this tumbled hexagon tile at Tile and Bath Co, I knew it was going to be the one we used for the floor. Due to the fact that it is a little out of the ordinary and has a lot of patterns, this tile was a must-have for me and would also serve as a show-stopper.
I also knew that I wanted grey cabinetry to match the rest of my home’s color scheme, so we ended up picking a larger-than-usual size matte white subway tile (4 x 8) for the shower surround to match. We received samples of the glossy and matte finishes, and after comparing the two, we decided to go with the matte finish instead.
Everything for our tile project was purchased from The Tile and Bath Co, and one of the things I most like about the process was that I could shop online, have samples brought directly to my door, and then make my order.
