How unusual to lay the tiles in the bathroom?

Tiles of different sizes

One of the simple but effective techniques, thanks to which you can adjust the proportions of the room... Combine large square products with smaller tiles of multiple sizes: for example, 20x20 cm and 10x10 cm. This will make the bathroom look more original and neat at the same time.

The method is suitable for both hexogenes (hexagons) and rectangular tiles. The same technique can be repeated in the design of the floor.

Fragments and paint

With such a cladding, the tiles fit only part of the walls, as if breaking off and creating an interesting effect. Fragments can form a geometric figure, a ladder or come to naught - it depends on the shape of the products.

To make the finish look harmonious, draw a clear installation plan or use computer visualization - it is necessary that the composition looks solid, and does not seem to be the result of a lack of material. Paint the rest of the wall in a contrasting or similar shade.

Accent inserts

To liven up plain walls, dilute the neutral palette with unusual colored tiles. It could be mosaic, contrasting tiles with patterns or curly products, highlighted with a plain background.

Rely on a 70% to 30% ratio, where the smaller part is occupied by bright details. You can lay colorful tiles in niche, over the sink, in the shower room, or frame a mirror with it. Usually these are ordered inserts in the form of wide lines with right angles.

The hog in the other direction

It is customary to lay fashionable tiles in the form of an elongated rectangle horizontally. But this solution looks trivial, since it is used everywhere. Products laid with a herringbone (like parquet) or vertically look much more curious.

First option makes the setting decorative, but the implementation requires more material and craftsmanship. Second way styling slightly stretches the bathroom visually and will avoid additional costs.

To make the boar look more expensive, use the thinnest corners when laying - this will make the seam less noticeable.

Contrast inserts out of tune

You can create an original and even daring design using tiles of the same size, but in a different color. Purchase a ready-made collection, in which the designer has provided suitable shades, or choose products yourself.

Separate fragments will become bright details that will decorate the interior of the bathroom, and a monochromatic tiled floor will act as a background.

For a bolder design, choose tiles that are contrasting, and for a restrained and sophisticated look, choose tiles that are similar in color.

Thin stripes

Stripe inserts add elegance to the bathroom. You can implement the idea with the help of:

• curly ceramic bumpers that are ideal for classic style;
• straight thin tiles - you can purchase them complete with the main tile, or show your imagination and look for a companion yourself;
• mosaics - lay it out by hand or cut the finished mesh base into strips.

Vertical lines are suitable for a wide bathroom, and horizontal lines for a narrow one.

Panel

If the stripes on the walls seem boring, create curly compositions of colorful tiles on the walls. These can be ornaments or full-fledged mosaic paintings. Tiled panel actively attracts attention, so select one or two walls for it - otherwise the situation will be overwhelmed.

Complex mosaic panels are not cheap and require professional help to install them. The idea can be realized using tiles patchwork, ready-made mosaics on a mesh backing, bumpers and contrasting tiles. This approach requires careful preparation and artistic taste, but the result is an exclusive bathroom design.

Ceramic rug

This is the name of the decorative area built into the overall cladding of the floor covering. Suitable for owners of warm floors who do not use textile bathroom rugs.

Ceramic analog gives interior comfort and fits perfectly into the classic and Mediterranean style. If a small bathroom, and the walls are laconic, the rug will draw attention to itself and distract from the small size of the room.

You can lay it out with your own hands or purchase a ready-made set of fragments.
