Tile combination for small bathrooms

April 29, 2020

Maybe you have come this far because you are looking for decoration ideas for small bathrooms.

Tiles are usually the first option to decorate the wall, but it is important to choose a suitable combination of bathroom tiles if we want to make good use of space.

What to consider when choosing tiles for small bathrooms?

Depending on the size, material and color of the tile that we use, our bathroom may better fit what we are looking for.

Let's see what are the aspects that you should take into account.

1. Tile size

If we choose very large tiles, our bathroom will be able to convey a feeling of greater spaciousness than if we put standard or medium size models.

Small size tiles can also be adjusted to the proportion of the bathroom, since having a greater number of tiles creates the feeling that the space is larger.

2. Horizontal or vertical placement

The way in which the tiles are laid is also important. Unless we are talking about square tiles (same width x height), rectangular type tiles have a vertical or horizontal orientation.

If we place the tiles in a horizontal direction, we will also be generating a feeling of greater openness, while if they are placed vertically, the bathroom will tend to appear smaller.

3. Lighting

Small bathrooms, in general, tend to have less natural light, since if there is a window to the gallery, patio or outside, it will also be smaller.

This causes that the best combination of tiles for small bathrooms are those of light tones and also with a gloss finish.

4. Textures

By reducing the combinations of tiles, we can bet on more uniform tones, but with different reliefs.

Textures help create atmospheres and can serve as a separating element between the different spaces in the bathroom.

Colors and styles for small bathroom tiles

When combining tiles in small bathrooms, another aspect to be considered is undoubtedly the colors and styles, where we highlight the minimalist and rustic decorations.

Minimalist designs

One of the most common trends in this type of bathroom is minimalist designs. These designs, in general, opt for shades in light colors and seek a certain degree of uniformity.

With the shades of minimalist white tiles, we can create contrasts in the shower area or with the floor to create a feeling of openness and build an environment where the visual impact falls on one of the bathroom walls.

For example, we can bet on a combination of black and white tones, dark blue or red with white or gray tones, such as this elegant porcelain gray tile.

Rustic designs

In rustic designs, it is very common to use combinations of tiles in wood color and in light tones, with designs such as the rustic white gloss tile, which we can combine with other layers of colors.

Other models such as the Almond ceramic tile also offer many possibilities, combining them for example with white or other light shades on the upper part of the walls.

Whichever option you choose, you don't have to be guided solely by trends.

Small bathrooms allow for a wide variety of options.

In our store you will find a wide variety of bathroom tiles, among which you will surely want a color or design that you would love to see in the decoration of your bathroom.
