Make Your Small Bathroom Look More Spacious With
These Floor Tiles Ideas

• A bathroom tile gives you the opportunity to
  enhance the visual appeal and design of your
  private room. The key to designing a small
  bathroom is to create a sense of warmth and an
  illusion of extra space. Before buying tiles for
  your small bathroom, it is wise to check these
  bathroom tiles ideas first.
• A bathroom tile gives you the opportunity to
  enhance the visual appeal and design of your
  private room. When it comes to bathroom floor
  tile Ottawa, there are a lot of considerations
  that you need to take into account especially if
  you have a small size bathroom. You cannot just
  pick any tile you want and install it to your
  floor without considering the size and design of
  your bathroom. To help you decide on what is best
  for your bathroom floor, here are a few bathroom
  tile ideas you can use.

Pick glazed or light-colored tiles
For small bathroom floors, tile brightness is
critical. Pick the type of bathroom tiles that
are glazed or light-colored as they are capable
of reflecting more light than those that are
unglazed or dark-colored. They also offer a
higher degree of perceived brightness as compared
to the latter. The reflections that the glazed or
light-colored tiles provide can help create
depth, which can give you an illusion of extra
space. They make your eyes believe that your
bathroom is bigger and more spacious than it
actually is.

Use large tiles

• Floor tiles are available in various sizes. The
  smaller ones measure 2 inches, 4 inches, 6
  inches, and 10 inches while larger ones measure
  either 14 inches or 18 inches. The average size
  for floor tiles is 12 inches. Avoid using small
  tiles for a small bathroom. Instead, go for
  larger ones like 12-inch or 14-inch bathroom
  tiles. Larger tiles produce lesser grids and
  create the illusion of extra space.

Select the tiles that create a sense of warmth

• When you say warmth, you are usually talking
  about the feeling of coziness or friendliness
  that you or your guests feel as they enter your
  bathroom. One trick of making your bathroom feel
  welcoming is to select a tile color that creates
  or enhances a sense of warmth like tan, light
  brown, green, and soft blues.

Decide what type of tile to use
Bathroom tiles are available in various types and
materials but the most commonly used are vinyl,
stone, and ceramic. Stone and ceramic tile Ottawa
are highly durable and they can be able to last
longer than vinyl but they are most costly than
the latter. Vinyl tile provides a visual appeal
that is almost similar to ceramic and stone tiles
but it can wear out faster. Take note also that
ceramic and stone tiles can get really cold in
the winter.
Design and patterns
You need to be extra careful when making the
design of your bathroom floor and when selecting
the patterns and sizes of tiles to use. Avoid
using small tiles as the border of the larger
tiles. If you want to achieve that illusion of
extra space, never use small tiles like 2-inch
tiles around the larger tiles and along the sides
of your bathroom, as they tend to disrupt the
continuity of your design and make your small
bathroom separated into smaller sections.

You can instead opt for a two-tile pattern as it
does not only make your bathroom look a bit more
spacious, it can likewise enhance the feeling of
warmth inside. Mismatched patterns can possibly
create an unsettling and hectic feeling. For
instance, a combination of black and red can make
you feel uneasy while a mixture of white and
black can create a colder ambiance, though they
tend to provide a modern effect.
