With so many types, shapes and materials to choose from, choosing the perfect tiles for your bathroom remodel can get difficult. Not only do you have to choose between vinyl, ceramic and linoleum tiles, there are also some tiles that trap heat and keep your floors heated for some time.
Right color
You have to choose your tiles based on the color you plan to paint your bathroom and if you want the tiles to be shaped or modeled to a specific design. It’s important you choose complementary tiles for your bathroom as brown tiles don’t look good in a bathroom with greenish-blue walls!
Right budget
Budget is another constraint to consider while choosing tiles for a bathroom remodel. While marble and ceramic tiles are longer lasting, they are expensive to buy and install. You have to choose based on your budget. Moreover, if you plan to remodel your bathroom again soon, it is better to invest in cheaper tiles that are easily removed instead of the expensive ones that aren’t easily removed.
Hot or environmentally friendly tiles
Heated bathroom tiles may be a wise choice if you plan to spend lots of time in your bathroom or if you live somewhere cold. You can also opt to have environmentally friendly tiles like easily renewable bamboo tiles which give a chic look and are eco-friendly.
Minimal maintenance
There are some tiles like expensive stone tiles which are better avoided as they require lots of care and cleaning. So if you don’t want to end up spending lots of time cleaning them, these tiles are better avoided. Instead, look for tiles which are easy to maintain like ceramic tiles.
It’s always better to choose your tiles based on its looks, your budget and ease of cleaning and maintenance, and not just for the sake of choosing something! With the right tiles, your bathroom remodeling project will definitely be worth it!
