Large format tiles

If you want to make your bathroom look more spacious, large format tiles can help you do that. The presence of less grout lines reduces visual clutter and creates a seamless appearance to make a room look more open. The expansive surface of large tiles gives the illusion of a continuous floor or wall, which tricks the eye into perceiving the area as more spacious.

Large format tiles are also helpful for creating a clean, minimalist and modern look.

Mosaic tiles

Mosaic patterns like Hexagon and Chevron, Penny Round and Kit Kat are great ways to add personality to your small bathroom. These tiles can add visual interest to your bathroom without making your space look cluttered. You can also make your bathroom more dynamic by using mosaics to invite focus on certain areas like on  accent walls, backsplashes or shower niches.

Subway Tiles

Subway tiles are timeless pieces that can make your walls look taller or wider. The elongated space of subway tiles can add perceived height or width (depending on the layout) to your area.

White subway tiles with glossy finishes also can reflect light and make your room look more bright and open. 

You can also create a vintage look by using subway tiles with a darker grout colour.

Neutral colours

Lighter and neutral colour tiles like cream, beige and soft pastels can create an illusion of openness by reducing shadows and reflecting more light. Such tones can amplify both natural and artificial light by reflecting it across the space and makes any space look less cluttered.

It is also helpful that lighter tones can complement multiple styles and accents easily. This allows homeowners to experiment with other decor elements more freely.

Marble look tiles

Marble is one of the most luxurious types or tiles. These tiles also obviously have a hefty price tag.

Thankfully, there are lots of Porcelain tiles that closely resemble marble. Tiles like Ballina Tiles, Hudson Porcelain Tiles, Tundra Porcelain Tiles and Flash Porcelain tiles are some great options if you are looking for something that resembles marbles in terms of visual appeal but not price.
