Stop Picking the Wrong Tiles

Here are mistakes to avoid before you buy tiles. 

Mistake 1 — Ignoring room proportions

Larger rooms can accommodate bigger tiles, which make space look more expansive. Smaller rooms benefit from smaller tiles to avoid a cluttered look.

Mistake 2 — Choosing style over substance

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are durable and water-resistant, ideal for bathrooms. Natural stone tiles offer a luxurious look but require sealing.

Mistake 3 — Neglecting the visual volume

Light-colored tiles can make a small bathroom look bigger, while darker shades add elegance. Choose patterns and textures that match your overall décor.

Mistake 4 — Forgetting the "slip factor"

Ensure tiles have a good slip-resistant rating, especially for flooring in wet areas. A beautiful tile is useless if it’s a hazard when wet.

Mistake 5 — Mismatched fixtures

Coordinate tiles with your sanitary ware and fixtures for a cohesive look.
