Among a variety of types of finishing materials, ceramic tiles are characterized by high practicality, a democratic price and a variety of decor. Due to these properties, this material is often chosen for decoration of modern premises.
When repairing the bathroom, we are wondering. Which tile to choose a bathroom? You will find the answer in our recommendations.
Influence of the shape of the tile on the perception of the room
The existing stereotype of the standard square tile today has already been destroyed. In modern premises it has become fashionable to use tiles in the form of a hexagon, an octagon or with rounded edges. This creates an unusual perception of the room, where even the interlacing seams are perceived somewhat differently.
Tile size matters
Small tiles visually increase the space. Therefore, it is more suitable for a small room, for example, for a bathroom or a small corridor. Choosing a tile for a large hall or a huge hall, you should stop on a tile larger in size.
It should be borne in mind that laying tiles of a small size is a rather laborious and time consuming task, since in this case a much larger number of seams requiring coating and cleaning are obtained.
The color of the tile sets the tone
The main tone for the entire interior is set, of course, the color of the tile .Light shades will significantly increase the room visually, making the main emphasis on furniture, and the dark ones will attract attention, reducing visual space. To create an atmosphere of home comfort, tiles of warm terracotta and pastel tones are used. If the room is decorated in a modern style, black and white tiles will be appropriate. It is important to know that the tile with a pattern, which is used quite often today, pays all attention to itself, unlike the one-color tile.
Therefore, in order to create a spacious and bright space, filled with air, it is recommended to use a glossy tile of smaller size and light colors. But the time for cladding and cleaning such a tile will require much more.
Matte tiles of dark shades with patterns will create more coziness, visually narrowing the space and most simple to care for. To visually emphasize the furniture, do not use too contrasting tile colors.
