Tile House choosing a specific tile
On trend, durable, affordable and available in a multitude of colours, textures, sizes, shapes and designs, it’s no surprise that tiles are a popular option for homeowners looking to style up their space.
But with so many options available, how does one go about choosing a specific tile for your space? Because it’s not just about measuring and levelling before you get tiling, here the team from Tile House shares eight important things to consider when selecting tiles.
- Begin by considering the style of your home. Look through magazines and online resources for tile inspiration that complements your home’s existing style.
- Opt for small tiles in areas like kitchens and bathrooms as they are better suited for compact residential spaces.
- Use large tiles to create a sense of spaciousness in a room. Floor tiles on walls can enhance cohesion but avoid using wall tiles on floors due to differences in durability.
- Light-coloured tiles work well in small rooms to make them appear larger, while a range of colours can be considered for larger spaces.
- Choose tile colours based on the desired ambience of the room, whether it’s calming and relaxing or dramatic and moody.
- Select the right grout colour to either accentuate the tile design with contrast or create a subtle effect by matching the tile colour. Remember, proper sealing of grout is essential to prevent staining.
- Decide between matte or polished finishes based on personal preference. Glazed tiles are easy to clean, while natural terracotta tiles require sealing to avoid stains.
- Consider the impact of natural light on tile selection, with gloss tiles and lighter colours being suitable for darker spaces as they reflect more light.
