We will understand what guided the choice of tiles for the project: how to account for the functional space, size and pattern, as well as modern interior trends.
Functional
In areas with high traffic should choose a stronger tiles, e.g., a ceramic or artificial stone. And in the bathrooms on the floor should be avoided smooth glossy surfaces, which are easy to slip on.
Council: Glossy tiles ideal in cooking area in the kitchen - to clear it from the fat easier than a rough and relief.
The size
Usually do not recommend the use of large format tile in small bathrooms. In fact, everything depends on the design. For example, an imitation of natural stone can be large format and plain white tiles - no.
Council: Ideally, if the width of the room, "snaps" the whole number of tiles - this will minimize the waste percentage.
The form
Interior fashion spread on the tiles in the same way as any other elements of decoration. Recently, more and more popular there are unusual shapes - hexagons, "fish scales", or diamonds to produce complex patterns. But trends are changing, and already next year fashion kitchen apron is hopelessly outdated.
Council: Choose a tile, according to their own repose of beauty. After all, even the most budget tiles "pylon" can lay dozens of different ways. And it will be your own trend.
Picture
The smaller the room, the more vivid and expressive image tiles can be. The problem is that a large area, such as the kitchen, the pattern can cause ripples in the eyes, and even dizziness. Go for this can be only if the rest of the interior is also quite bright and expressive.
Council: If you know exactly what you want to use an unusual intricate tile, start with a selection of her, and already around Marshall rest of the interior.
Grout
The main rule - on the floor grout should be slightly darker than the walls. But the main danger awaits the owners of white bathrooms. If you choose too dark grout, then there is an association with hospital or a public toilet. A too light will quickly get dirty and yellow. Therefore it is sometimes necessary to pre-select a specific color.
Council: Colored grout can be a real saving for the budget repair. She will perform a focus near the very cheap white tiles, greatly reducing the cost.
