Future Proof Your Home With Classic Bathroom Tiles

When it comes to refurbishing your bathroom, high on your list of priorities will be new bathroom tiles

. Whether you opt for porcelain, terracotta, glass, or granite tiles, you will need to find ones that are attractive, hardwearing, easy to clean and durable. Indeed, the most significant benefit of bathroom tiles is that they ensure you will not have to worry about spills and splashes and will let you easily keep the room clean with nothing more than a cloth and some detergent. Added to which, tiles are a great way of adding interest and elegance to your bathroom.

Since the days of the Roman baths (and possibly even before), tiles have been synonymous with cleanliness and luxury proving an attractive and practical choice which is unmatched by any other material. Of course, this does not mean you cannot use any other wall covering in a bathroom; many people choose to combine paint and tile finish to create a sense of texture and a warm and welcoming ambience.

The most important thing is to ensure that you are getting the right tiles for your environment. Although most bathroom tiles can be used in any setting, you will want to check on factors such as their weight and thickness. Some walls, for instance, are not strong enough to hold a heavy tile and may require reinforcing if you plan to do so. Equally, older walls made with building materials such as wattle and daub will need to be protected with a layer of plasterboard before you can begin to attach anything else to them.

When choosing the right bathroom tiles for your space, you need to consider the type of palette you are working with. Although you might have decided on a particular colour for your walls, ceiling, floor covering and accessories, bear in mind that these are easier to change than your tiles and the chances are they will be altered at least once during the lifetime of your tiles. That being the case, you might want to future-proof your choice of tiles by opting for something that will work with a variety of colours. Plain colours are often the best and will generally work with everything. Equally, it is hard to beat the fresh elegance of pure white tiles perhaps with a dark black border that recreate the unforced glamour of the Art Deco period. However, whatever colour, pattern and size you choose, take the time to plan out your bathroom first. After all, with such an important decision, it is essential to make sure that you not only like the aesthetic, but the layout of your bathroom.
