Bathroom Tile Design Ideas

The right bathroom tile design for a remodeling project can completely change the whole appearance of your tired looking bathroom; the huge range of types available can delay the start of the project but should be worth it in the end. There are a variety of bathroom tile design ideas available that will appeal to a number of differing tastes as well as range of budgets. The most popular styles; the harlequin tile design, marble and natural stone are also traditional but the more colorful tiles are also gaining acceptance.

The harlequin pattern is a true classic of bathroom tile designs which is basically a bathroom tile that boasts the harlequin motif which is arranged as diamonds rather than squares. The tiles tend to be a little longer and the pattern resembles a mimes costume in a way but you can opt for this classic design in just about any combination of colors from earthy tones to bright reds.

But it is the classic white tile with small black squares which is my favorite which has a much cleaner look and is normally available without having to place a special order. If you use these tiles around a clean white Victorian style bath tub on four feet with chrome fittings you can imagine how striking this looks.

This can make any bathroom look like it has had an expensive remodeling but not everyone is happy about fingerprints on highly polished bathroom fittings like chrome for instance. If you have younger children then this is something you need to think about because you will spend considerable time each day cleaning the fixings.

Personally, I like a harlequin bathroom design in black and white as the diamond shape of the pattern really yields well to the stark contrast of the extreme colors. When money isn't an option there is always Italian marble as a choice for your bathroom tile design. This can also be used for surrounds in addition to the wall and floor plus comes in an enormous range of finishes.

A good compromise when funds will not extend to expensive tiles is to have a good bathroom tile that is reasonably priced as the foundation for your bathroom tile design. Once you have this it is a simple matter of choosing a higher quality tile to place within the overall design and as you won't be using a huge number of them, it really won’t matter how much they cost.

No matter what bathroom tile design idea you choose you probably want to consider utilizing a professional for installation. Although it is obviously much cheaper to tile yourself, your bathroom remodeling project will take a lot longer. You may waste more tiles than you anticipate but will the result look as good?
