When you are halfway through a time consuming, costly home renovation or room makeover, the last thing you want is to change your mind on the tiles you chose and have to start again. To avoid this costly change of mind, we recommend completing thorough planning and preparation before commencing any home renovation project. So if you are not yet sure which bathroom tiles or kitchen tiles would look best in your home, this article will help you decide.
So, if you want to understand the different types of tiles in Perth available, the pros and cons of different types of tiles, and the current tile trends and ideas, continue reading.
House tiles come in many different shapes, sizes, colours and patterns and suit specific rooms more than others. Do larger tiles suit smaller rooms? When it comes to feature walls, are smaller tiles better? Here are five tips to help you plan for your home renovation project.
Generally, the larger the space, the larger the tiles can be. When choosing kitchen floor tiles for an open plan living space 600x600mm is recommended for a luxury appeal.
As for your kitchen splashback, quickly make a statement with decorative tiles such as a subway tile in a herringbone pattern.
Whilst large tiles can make a small bathroom look bigger, incorporating a feature wall of tiny mosaic tiles makes more of a statement, especially when contrasted with large tiles everywhere else.
We recommend measuring the distance between your shower or bath and vanity to figure out the size of your bathroom and determine what size floor tiles will suit the space better. Combining a strip grate with at least 300x600mm sized tiles will not only prevent water build-up but make your new bathroom look sleek, edge and modern.
You most likely have heard of ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles before, but there are many more different types of tiles available to choose from for your home renovation project. Here is a list of options:
For a more durable floor tile, choose porcelain over ceramic. Even though these two types of tiles look the same, they are not manufactured the same. Porcelain tiles are fired for longer at a higher temperature, resulting in a more durable tile perfect for your new floor tile.
Choose either a natural stone tile, porcelain tile, ceramic tile, or glass tile for an easier cleaning routine. Due to their non-porous material, these tiles are stain and scratch-resistant and easy to maintain their beautiful look with a quick wash.
There are many styles of house tiles to choose from. For example, you can choose tiles that look like carpet, floorboards, cement, shiny or matte, or tiles that incorporate natural-looking textures and unique patterns.
Choosing which tile is best for you can be made simpler by first deciding on a lighter or darker colour. Lighter bathroom and kitchen tiles with a glossy finish will make small spaces appear brighter, bigger and give a more clean finish. Dark kitchen and bathroom tiles with a matte finish add more drama, elegance and cosiness to a space.
Still not sure which wall and floor tile are best for you? Here are the current tile trends to get the ideas flowing!
Choosing a darker grout is a popular and affordable way to elevate the simple subway tile. Styled in a herringbone pattern and paired with a darker floor tile, this current trend pops in any colour as a shower or vanity feature wall.
