What To Look For In A Bathroom Tile?

It doesn't matter how well you've designed the overall layout when renovating or building a new bathroom. The wrong tile selection can devastate your new bathroom's look and feel. However, the right bathroom tile can turn your bathroom into the highlight of your home. Alternatively, if your bathroom could do with a makeover, selecting some new tiles can be what is needed to give it the facelift it needs.

 

The size, shape, material, and colour are essential when choosing a bathroom tile. At Aurees Tiles, we have an extensive selection of bathroom tiles for you in various finishes. To help you through the selection process, we've listed some things to consider when selecting the perfect bathroom tile below:

 

Shape and Size

In general, the overall size and layout of your bathroom will determine the size and shape of your tile. The rule tends to go: the more significant the bathroom, the larger the bathroom tile, and vice versa, but it comes down to your design and personal preference.

 

Also, consider the surfaces that may require tiling as individual planes interact with one another. Look at where they start and stop, how they meet up and if some windows or ledges require factoring in. Thinking about these things will help you choose a bathroom tile that best compliments your space and flows seamlessly with the lines created in the bathroom design.

 

Proportion

If you're using different-sized bathroom tiles, you'll want to ensure their proportions work well together. Your tiles must line up everywhere they meet.

 

If this sounds confusing, we are happy to help. Bring in your home plans, and we can help you select bathroom tiles that go well together in all aspects.

 

Grout Colour

An area that many seem to overlook is your choice of grout. Many look at a tile without thinking about how it will look once grouted. While smaller tiles can look great, it is essential to remember that many grout lines may cause them to look busy and overwhelming.

 

It is also essential to consider your choice of grout colour, as it can dramatically affect your final aesthetic. Grout in a similar colour to your bathroom tile will result in a more subtle result.

 

If you're looking for a premium bathroom tile at an affordable price, you can't go past the selection on offer at Aurees Tiles. Be sure to drop into the Cavan showroom today!

Grout and Tile Maintenance: How to Keep Tiles Adelaide Looking New
Go into any Adelaide home five or 10 years after the tiles were laid, and you will usually hear one of two stories. In the first, the floor and walls still look as new as the day they were put down. The second is that the tiles themselves are fine, but the grout tells another […]

Kitchen Tiles Adelaide: Splashback and Floor Combinations That Work Together
Splashback and floor tiles are usually chosen weeks apart, sometimes by different people, and often at entirely different stages of a kitchen renovation. The floor gets locked in early, before the layout is even finalised, while the splashback is picked much later, once the benchtop and cabinetry are already installed. The result, more often than […]

Porcelain Benchtops and Splashback Tiles: The Adelaide Kitchen Trend Gaining Ground
There’s a clear shift in what people choose for their kitchens these days. It's no longer just splashback tiles behind the stove; now, large porcelain slabs do double duty as both a benchtop and a splashback, wrapping around the kitchen as one continuous surface. It’s not really a passing trend borrowed from a renovation show. […]

Entry and Living Room Tiles Adelaide: Making the First Impression Last
Look for furniture that can withstand the coastal elements. Untreated steel and lower-grade stainless steel are more prone to corrosion, whereas teak, powder-coated aluminium and 316 stainless steel are all excellent. Consider how exposed your outdoor area is to the wind. Heavier or lower-profile furniture is usually a better choice for open locations, while lighter […]

Why Modern Bathrooms Start With the Right Tile Choice (Not Fixtures)
Ask most people where they start when renovating a bathroom, and the answer is usually the same. They talk about tapware. They obsess over the vanity, too. They spend hours comparing matte-black fittings to brushed-nickel fittings. It's understandable — fixtures are visible, tactile, and easy to shop for. But it's the wrong starting point. When […]

How to Design a Bathroom That Still Looks Good in 10 Years
There’s a particular kind of regret that shows up in bathrooms. It’s usually not about craftsmanship. It’s the colour. The pattern. The fixture that felt exciting the day it was installed, but within a few short years, felt strangely dated. Bathrooms are expensive to renovate and disruptive to redo. So, the real question isn’t “what’s […]

Matte vs Gloss Bathroom Tiles: What Actually Works in Real Homes
Walking into a tile showroom and choosing between matte and gloss is a simple style choice. One seems soft and modern. The other is fine and polished. Either way, you’ll be pleased with your choice. And then the tiles go into a real bathroom, and that's when it gets real. Most mornings, the floor is […]

Large Format Bathroom Tiles: The Secret to Luxury Hotel-Look Spaces
Walk into almost any luxury hotel bathroom, and there’s a feeling that hits before anything else does. The room feels calm. Open. Almost weightless. There is no tiny mosaic grid demanding your attention, and if you can see the grout lines at all, they sit quietly in the background rather than separating the space into […]
