to clean, has resistance to dampness and does not become too slippery when it
gets wet, but you must take care to choose slip-resistant surface in ceramic

absorb stains easily and so need to be washed frequently and need more
maintenance.
Bathroom floor tile shapes are generally rectangular, square, hexagonal and
octagonal while accent tiles are generally narrower, diamond shaped and come in
smaller sizes. You can create interesting bathroom floors by using solid color
ceramic bathroom floor tile for the bathroom flooring and then add tile borders

little larger by using same color and shade of ceramic tiles for bathroom floors
and walls. To introduce visual variety, you can choose a different tile size for
the walls or lay wall tiles diagonally. Varying grout colors can also give new
look to your ceramic tile color.
Contrast the grout color to the ceramic tile color. You may choose blue, red or
yellow grout with white tiles. However, you will need to preserve the grout
color by applying sealers to grout lines, especially in areas that has great
traffic and heavy wear. If you want to incorporate your favorite color in the
bathroom design but are cautious not to overdo it, you may add few decorative
tiles of that color on the walls or you can use tiles of that color placed
diagonally to make rows on the wall alternating with rows of tile colors in
complementing colors. You may also use tiles of different shapes, textures and
borders to add a bit of your favorite colors without overdoing it. Tiles of all
colors normally go well with white as their contrasting color. Use plain
backgrounds and add bright and bold colored tiles with interesting shapes and
graphics to give a contemporary look and style to your bath space while you can
add modernistic accessories and fixtures to give it a high-tech look.

tiles with faux wood look to achieve romantic look in your bath space. Use hand
painted ceramic sinks for added effect. Hand painted tiles or Mexican tiles on
floor interspersed with terracotta tiles give Mediterranean look to your
bathroom. You can also use hand painted tiles with plain color tiles on
countertops in your Mediterranean baths. Bathroom tile colors are important to
help you relax or fill your with vigor and energy at the start of the day. Cozy
bathrooms and bathrooms with country look and fun looks can use warm color tiles

To make the bathroom look larger and evergreen, use neutral color tiles in beige
and white as they reflect light a lot. Serene bathrooms or spa like bathrooms
should use tiles in cool colors such as blue, green and violet. Large bathrooms
have the luxury to use tiles in bright colors such as red or black that look
dramatic and absorb light. They also make the room look smaller. Ambient
lighting in bathrooms that have large windows and receive lot of natural light
can be achieved by installing tiles in darker colors. If you want to use dark,
bright or bold colors in smaller or darker bathrooms, use them only as accent
tiles or add accessories in those colors. So, embark on bathroom floor tiling
project to give that fun, cozy, creative or any unique and special look to your
bath space you had always dreamt about.
