If you already have a fix idea, choose your dream color and let it be the starting point for picking the rest of the shades. The main thing is not to overdo it with accents.
Do not choose more than three different colors. To navigate in all the variety of design options, it is best to look for photos of ready-made premises.
The room you want to decorate is small and you need to visually expand it? Use light colors. The classic option for the bathroom is white tiles.
If you think it's too banal, give preference to beige, peach or blue.
The floor and walls, laid out with one type of tile, mostly light and glossy, will visually expand the space and add air.

It is believed that cool colors create the effect of freshness and coolness, while warm colors soothe. One of the current trends is the design of rooms in natural shades.
Dark tiles create a depressing impression. Contrary to popular belief, dirt is clearly visible on it. Use dark colors carefully. For example, for decorating the floor and the lower part of the walls.
Avoid very bright colors, such as scarlet or gold. In such rooms, you will get tired very quickly.
Use bright or patterned tiles to create accents or a room.
When choosing a tile for the kitchen, match its color with the set.
Most often, stores offer square or rectangular tiles. If you're remodeling your own, check out these classic options. It is much more convenient to work with them than with unusually shaped tiles.
Want to achieve different visual effects? Use a rectangular tile. Place it on the walls vertically, and you will stretch them in length, horizontally - in width. To visually expand the room, lay out the floor tiles diagonally.
Don't choose very small tiles for small spaces. Also give up the idea of decorating a room in a mosaic style. It greatly narrows the space. Do not use very large tiles. With it, there will be large seams on the walls, which will also unprofitably divide the room into parts.
It is also worth avoiding extremes for reasons of economy.
From the point of view of practicality and cost of work for walls, it is better to choose medium-sized tiles. Too small or, on the contrary, large format can cause an extra charge when laying. Mosaic is on average more expensive than ordinary tiles, and working with it will also not be cheap.

Measure the length of the walls and their height and multiply these numbers. From the resulting product, subtract the area of the door (if necessary, also the area of \u200b\u200bthe bath). Calculate the floor area.
Then calculate the area of one tile by also multiplying its length by its width. By dividing the total area of the walls or floor by the area of one tile, you determine the number of the latter.
When in doubt, use any online tile calculator.
Do not forget to add 10–15% to the value obtained, since part of the tile will inevitably be damaged during transportation or installation.
Naturally, this is the most primitive way to calculate tiles. With an unusual layout, you may need the help of professionals who will draw up the correct drawing and, based on it, calculate the required amount of materials.
If you're choosing tiles for your home, it doesn't make sense to opt for super-sustainable materials that are essential for decorating common areas. It is unlikely that the same number of people will walk in your kitchen or bathroom as people visit cinemas or exhibitions.
Choose tiles with a wear resistance coefficient from I to III (III - for the floor) and do not overpay.
If you are not going to arrange a large freezer or solarium from your apartment, then the temperature resistance of the tile should not be taken into account either.
When choosing tiles for the bathroom, pay attention to characteristics such as water resistance and relief (for the floor).
The tiles of Italian and Spanish production are considered to be of the highest quality. To save money, combine expensive tiles with cheap ones.
Many Russian manufacturers, such as Kerama Marazzi, Keramin, Italon, offer tiles of acceptable quality. It can be taken as a base, pointwise complemented by a more expensive and expressive one, or, for example, a mosaic.

But you need to be careful when buying tiles with huge discounts. The fact is that a low-grade product, presented as a better one, can get on sale. The coating from such a tile will come out sloppy.
The marriage of a tile is chips, cracks, uneven geometry and a difference in height between different tiles. If, after buying a tile and unpacking it at home, you find such defects, go to the store and return the defective product.
Andrey Lyamin-Borodin
There are ways to check the quality of tiles before buying:
If you opened the package with tiles and found a marriage, write a claim. In this case, you can either bring low-quality tiles to the store yourself, or ask a broker to come (it happens that half of the package is already on the wall).
The broker will draw up an act on the non-compliance of the goods with the declared characteristics and send your claim to the manufacturing plant. There, your appeal will be considered and, if deemed justified, the product will be replaced with an appropriate quality. As you can imagine, the process is not fast. If a renovation is in progress, it's often easier to buy a new pack of tiles.
Can I return a tile to the store if there is an error in the calculation? According to Andrey Lyamin-Borodin, this is possible if you bought tiles with a large supply and you still have whole packages. According to the law, tiles can be returned within 14 days from the date of purchase, excluding this day. Some manufacturers offer customers buyback as a bonus, but this only applies to budget tiles.
Do you know any tile selection hacks? Share them in the comments.
August 23, 2016Moisture resistance and inertness to the effects of cleaning agents have made tiles the most popular finishing material for the bathroom. So, it's time to talk about how to choose the right tile for the bathroom.
The layout, according to many, is an exclusively design technique that has a decorative function, but this is far from the case. A competent combination of color, texture and size of the tile allows you to solve the problems of the room, among which there is more often a low ceiling, an elongated shape or technological niches and ledges in the walls.
In addition, the lower part of the walls can be decorated using decorative panels (per square meter, they can be cheaper).
If your choice fell on the use of a contrasting bright horizontal edging, pay attention to the height of the furniture, the location of the heated towel rail and the mirror.
When choosing the same tiles for walls and floors, remember that the latter must be labeled "floor" and a high level of anti-slip.
As a panel, you can use not only mosaics, but also patchwork tiles. In this case, you are almost unlimited in choosing a plain tile for other surfaces. Where to locate? I recommend using patchwork in the bath/shower area or on the wall with a mirror.
If you are used to ordering everything and do not accept chaos in its classical sense, “collect” the interior with the help of a contrasting edge of the bathroom trim or a decorative colored frame around the mirror.
A lot has been said about which bathroom tile is better to choose, but few know how to save money when buying. I share personal secrets.
The main way to save money is to combine inexpensive tiles with designer collections. If you find a compromise, you will get an excellent result and a unique interior.
The first way to save money is to purchase inexpensive plain tiles and focus on colored grout. One point is important here - “inexpensive” does not mean poor quality. Choose a well-known manufacturer and look for a budget collection.
If you do not understand how the selected tile with colored seams will look, lay out a square meter of tiles on hardboard or drywall and fill the seams “dry”.
The square background tile is a universal "soldier". Sum the multiples of the dimensions, for example, join the 10, 15 and 20 cm squares and combine them with the 30, 40 cm floor squares.
Rectangular tiles with a chamfer (“boar”) are often laid horizontally, by changing the orientation of the installation, you can visually enlarge the bathroom. Oh yes, savings. Do not buy thick classic crosses for the "boar", they make the tile look cheap. Choose separators no larger than 0.5 mm.
If the laying will be done by the master, you can choose a "parquet" layout diagonally, for example, herringbone. I would not recommend doing this kind of work with your own hands.
If the bathroom is small, get a medium-sized tile. After cutting it, there is less waste.
A great way to save money is to choose brick-shaped tiles. In this case, it is laid without displacement so that no pieces smaller than 5 cm remain.
This layout option also has a significant drawback, when laying on walls “littered” vertically, the flaw will become more noticeable.
Having decided which tile to choose in the bathroom, you can proceed to the calculation. To do this, on a sheet of paper, draw all the walls of the bathroom to scale and “lay out” the tiles. To the resulting square meters, add a margin of 10% for a straight layout and 15% for a diagonal and herringbone.
You can create an “expensive” design with a small amount of elite tiles, which are used locally in wall decoration, for example, near a mirror.
If the selected design tile option does not fit into one canvas with an inexpensive background, for example, because of the hexagonal shape, use paint.
Fashion is a capricious and changeable lady, today she is in red, tomorrow she will prefer beige. Unfortunately, the interior of the apartment does not change at such a speed. How to choose the color, texture, size and pattern of a tile so that it remains relevant for a long time.
Imitation of natural material. Thanks to digital printing, tiles imitating stone, wood, and marble have become widespread. In addition to the complete identity of the drawing, we managed to get a similar texture and relief. If such a tile has one more advantage - the price, which is an order of magnitude lower than the cost of natural material, such as onyx or marble.
Designer Tip! Today, not only imitations of expensive natural materials are popular, but also tiles with the color and texture of shell rock, sandstone and slate.
Such "special effects" as brushing and aging make "wood look" tiles as realistic as possible. Such solutions are indispensable when arranging a bathroom in a loft style.
The "stone-like" tile has no style restrictions. Marble stains create a calm, beautiful backdrop for expensive sanitary ware in a classic form or emphasize minimalism in design.
You can choose high-quality "stone" tiles in the collections of Kerama Marazzi, Atlas Concorde and Peronda.
Maxi format. Large tiles have climbed to the very top of popularity and are not going to go down from there. Today, you can easily find a 1x3 m tile, which rather allows you to attribute it to the plates.
Single flat surfaces with stone imitation can be found in the Italian brands Graniti Fiandre and Rex.
Ten. Classic tiles 10x10 and 20x20 cm are relevant regardless of the area of the room. The visual effect is assembled from three "whales": the color of the tile, the shade of the grout and the layout.
Your Naf-Naf. "Boar", which I talked about above, also refers to the immortal trends. If you choose a "boar" with a glossy surface and beveled bevels, let it be pastel shades: beige or white. "Boar" is relevant for interiors in country style, modern.
The charm of patchwork. Patchwork is a technology of sewing from separate multi-colored shreds. The same "patches" of ceramic tiles are folded into a single canvas. More often used as an accent or in floor decoration.
Ready patchwork collections are produced by CERAMICA FIORANESE (Inside collection), Serenissima CIR (Biarritz series), ABK (Docks), Del Conca (Amarcord).
3D reality. I recommend using three-dimensional tiles in bathrooms with an area of at least 10 m².
“Well, not easily soiled and not slippery”, often the requirements for floor tiles in the bathroom end there, and in fact it is capable of more, for example, visually hide the flaws of the room.
Problem | Liquidation instructions |
crooked walls | The ideal option to eliminate the disadvantage is the diagonal layout. A seam pattern in a contrasting color will turn attention to itself, while distracting from problematic walls. |
narrow room | Choose from checkered or herringbone patterns. These schemes have been transferred from the ways of laying piece parquet, therefore the shape of the tile must be appropriate. I can safely call tiles with the color and texture of wood an ideal solution. |
elongated room | The optimal layout is scatter (deck, with a shift). Rectangular tiles are more often shifted along the long side by 1/4 or 1/3, the maximum allowable shift is 1/2. To prevent the floor from looking crooked, use tiles in similar shades and don't forget about a 10% margin. |
Zoning | Laying according to the “carpet” scheme, which may have an additional edging or be laid out without it. |
Reducing or increasing the area | If you have a small bathroom, choose an irregular, repetitive layout in pastel shades. The same “recipe for a hundred troubles” is also relevant for a large area, you just have to replace pastel colors with contrasting ones. |
And by tradition, I offer you a full-fledged bathroom interior, in which the main decorative role is assigned to the tile.
Initially, the bathroom was separated from the toilet, after the merging, it was possible to get 6 m², which acquired Mediterranean features and vintage notes.
The central part of the room was occupied by a bathtub, opposite it - a wall on which two antique mirrors are fixed. It is thanks to them that the area of \u200b\u200bthe room has visually increased and looks more spacious.
The finishing tile has an unusual pattern and color, which is a combination of turquoise, blue and white. The size of one tile is 20.5x20.5 cm, the combined four elements form a single composition measuring 41x41 cm, which resembles the pattern of a classic painted tile.
In the company, white brick-shaped cement tiles from Fired Earth, laid in the open shower area, were selected for her.
The toilet was moved to the opposite wall, due to this, it was possible to find a place for an open shower without a pallet.
There was a window in the niche next to the shower, we tiled it and equipped it under a shelf. Photographs by Slim Aaron taken in the 1960s and 70s are used as wall decor. They found their home next to the shower.
Bath and shower faucets are nickel-plated, which is a very good solution for an interior with vintage touches. In addition to them, gilded accessories and door handles were purchased.
Storage areas are organized in a spacious custom-made closet. Lighting - four adjustable light sources.
In the interior used:
Tile has long ceased to be exclusively a way of decorating walls, now it is a design technique that can change perception, accentuate and hide. On this, I say goodbye to you and wish you success in the difficult repair business. Before you start designing your dream bathroom, be sure to watch the video in this article.
And I have a question for you - do you consider tiles the only option for finishing a bathroom? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Ceramic tile (tile)- these are just plates made of baked clay or carved from some types of stone, it is often used for wall and floor cladding, it has gained its popularity mainly for its practicality and aesthetic appearance.

It is a cheap replacement for natural granite, has maximum water resistance and tolerates temperature changes very well. In appearance, this tile is very similar to granite, which is not surprising, because it is produced in much the same way as natural stone appears, only many times faster.
Thanks to the latest developments and the high quality of raw materials, manufacturers have the opportunity to almost completely imitate natural stone. This is achieved by fast, dry pressing at an incredibly high temperature. (1200 - 1300 degrees).
It is worth noting that this tile has a very good resistance to chemicals and perfectly tolerates temperature changes.
