25 Mar How to Choose the Best Tile Size for Your Bathroom?

Choosing the right tile size for your bathroom is a big decision because it changes both the look and the function of your bathroom. If you are not sure what tile size you will like the best, why not see some options in real life in a bathroom showroom in Sunderland? It becomes much easier to picture different tile sizes in your own bathroom when you have stood in front of them and seen them up close.

Large tiles can make small bathrooms feel more spacious.

Many people assume that small tiles are better for small bathrooms, but that is not always true. In fact, large tiles (like ones that are 12×24 inches or even bigger) can make a small bathroom look a lot bigger than it really is. With fewer grout lines breaking up the space, the floor or wall looks more like one smooth surface, and that tricks the eye into thinking that your bathroom is bigger and more open.

If you like clean, simple designs, large tiles will best match your taste. They will minimise visual clutter in your bathroom, especially if you stick with light colours, like white or soft grey. 

In bigger bathrooms, you can use both large and small tiles for different effects.

If your bathroom has more room to play with, you can get creative with your tile use. You can choose large tiles to create a luxurious, spa-like atmosphere in your bathroom or choose small tiles to add some texture and personality.

You can also use large tiles for your floor or main walls and then choose smaller tiles as borders, backsplashes, or feature strips. Mixing different tile sizes like this can add depth and style to your bathroom without looking like you have gone overboard with the design.

You should consider how your tiles will interact with the rest of your bathroom at this point, like how they will look next to your tub, lighting, or even the colour on your walls. A visit to a bathroom showroom in Sunderland can help you visualise that.

Use different tile sizes for floors, walls, and showers.

When it comes to choosing your bathroom tiles, one size definitely does not fit all. For the floor, you should check out medium to large tiles (like 12×12 inches or larger). They cover more space with fewer grout lines and keep your bathroom looking clean and less busy.

On the walls, you can use large statement tiles or small mosaics to create interesting patterns or add a pop of colour. Then there is the shower floor, where small tiles (like 1×1-inch mosaics) are the best. The extra grout lines give you a better grip, which can prevent slipping when the floor is wet.
