Using tiles to cover bathroom floors during your bathroom renovation has been a trend for many years now, and Bathroom Direct don’t see that changing anytime soon. The benefits of using tiles in the bathroom are relatively clear, such as controlling moisture and adding visual appeal. What isn’t as clear, however, are the pros and cons of using small or large tiles for bathroom floors, so here are some things to consider when deciding on the best tile size for your bathroom.

Are you redesigning your large, main bathroom? Or are you considering remodeling your small half-bathroom off the back deck? When you’re trying to decide whether to use small or large tiles for the floor, you’ll want to think about the size of the bathroom as a whole. Large tiles will make a room look larger and less cramped; small tiles could make it look smaller yet more dramatically appealing with the right design.  If cute and small or mesmerizing is your goal, feel free to have fun with smaller tiles.

If you want to use a dark-colored grout as part of your bold design, using small tiles would draw attention to the grout lines. With larger tiles, you can use the darker grout, which could enhance the length or width of the bathroom, but it won’t be as noticeable. Similarly, if you don’t like the appearance of grout, you may want to choose a light-colored grout or grout that is close to the same color as the tile. It’s worth noting that if you use larger tiles, you’ll need less grout, which would save time and money.

If you want more specific information about the pros and cons of using small or large tiles for bathroom floors, you can contact Bathroom Direct for a consultation. Most of these factors could differ depending upon your specific needs and layout of your bathroom, and their experienced professionals can suggest the best design.
