Anyone contemplating a bathroom remodeling project may find the range of bathroom tile designs has become immense; making a choice on a style isn’t always as straightforward as you may think with the ranges available today. If you have a large bathroom this can be quite a daunting prospect so it is lucky that the range of styles, finishes and textures, is extensive; this is convenient of course because there will probably something that will suit your style within your budget. Some tile designs are more desirable than others including those that are more traditional like stone, Italian marble and the famous harlequin design but colorful tiles are also becoming more popular.
My timeless favorite is the harlequin bathroom tile which are small black squares turned to look like diamonds in a grid pattern on a plain white tile. Sometimes these tiles are available in other colors but the traditional black and white oblong tile is the most popular and effective. I personally like a harlequin bathroom design in black and white as the diamond shape of the pattern really yields well to the stark contrast of the extreme colors. A bathroom will look clean and shiny, and by adding a chrome tub and shower faucet to the mix will give the area a fresh, shimmering glow which is ideal for the bath area.
The effect this provides can make it look as though you have spent a fortune on your bathroom but chrome and other polished metal fixings can cause problems as they mark easily. If you have younger children then this is something you need to think about because you will spend considerable time each day cleaning the fixings. Of course if you want maintenance free floor tiles you should try the natural stone tile designs which don’t require so much cleaning if water spills on them; a brushed stainless steel bath really complements this type of tile. However, for real luxury you need to look at a bathroom tile design in marble and although expensive, really is the best flooring you can get.
If cost is an option then there are ways in which you can have the best of both worlds by having the main design made up of a bathroom tile that is moderately priced. Once you have this it is a simple matter of choosing a higher quality tile to place within the overall design and as you won’t be using a huge number of them, it really wont matter how much they cost. Whilst tiling isn’t overly complicated, it is still an art which you would do well to remember and organize a tradesman to come in to do it for you. Although it is obviously much cheaper to tile yourself your bathroom remodeling project will take longer. You may waste more tiles than you anticipate but will the result look as good?
