Consider tiling the walls and really enveloping the space in a material that helps make it feel special and out-of-the-box. Owner and Principal Designer Cheryl Kees Clendenon of In Detail Interiors, comments: ‘Even a tiny powder bath is an opportunity area - everyone who visits your home will probably visit this space. A classic tile shape or pattern could be the perfect finishing touch.’ Whether it's a statement natural stone countertop or speciality handmade tile, we are all for having one finish that is extra special or unexpected.

Julia Miller at Yond Interiors, comments: ‘Especially in a small space where every inch counts, we are huge fans of having one really special finish. Make your small bathroom feel that extra bit special with luxe finishes on tiles - from glossy to handmade designs, ‘splash-out’ on a unique pick that will elevate your space in to a spa-like oasis. Now let’s take a look how to mix and match.(Image credit: Yond Interiors Photo: SEN-Creative)Īn advantage of small spaces is that every detail is maximized and truly appreciated. Unless you’re feeling adventurous or have a good eye, leave the mixing-and-matching to a designer! It might seem like a tiny detail, but the corners and/or edges of a surface will make or break the look of tilework, so it’s important to get them right. At the same time, it’s important not to go overboard with shapes and colors because having too much of either creates visual clutter. Moreover, by sticking to one finish, it’ll make it easier to accommodate a wider range of tile shapes on the same wall. For example, if a homeowner wishes to have an accent wall in their bathroom’s shower area, they should stick to using either all glossy or all matte tiles – mixing tiles with two different finishes would just create a clashing look. Black tiles are the best ones for family homes because they tend to require more upkeep to maintain their look.Īn important rule is that there should only be one tile finish on a single surface. Pick non-slip tiles and also options that are less dark because they suit conventional design tastes better. Take special note of tile finishes, especially when designing a bathroom/kitchen in a home where there are elderly/young occupants. Bathrooms are very wet areas and you may want porcelain or ceramic tile since they are almost maintenance free. Consider maintenance: tiles made from natural stone require more maintenance and do have to be sealed. Rock not more than three different tiles to achieve a stylish look – too many different tiles won’t bring elegance. Sometimes it is a really special or unique accent tile and sometimes it is as simple as knowing that you want white subway tile. Typically when we start a bathroom renovation we have one tile that we dream of including in our design. Pick your must have tile first and then look for a match. How to mix and match bathroom tiles right to achieve a cool and not tasteless look? Here are some tips.

We usually don’t use the same type of tile all over the bathroom and mix them up using some on the walls, some on the floor and maybe some more for accenting.
