We outline here some of the things to considers when tiling your bathroom
 
Type of Bathroom tiles
There are a whole range of bathroom tiles available to choose from. Some of the tiles include ceramic, glass, quarry, and porcelain tiles.
Ceramic tiles are common and affordable. They are in various colours, smooth with no pores and easy to clean and maintain. Ceramic tiles can be glazed or unglazed. The glazed tiles can be plain or decorated which means they are good for both walls and floors. The unglazed tiles are less resistant to scratches and slips.
Glass tiles are used to create beautiful and unique designs due to their ability to reflect light. They are a lot more affordable now but are not easy to install.
Quarry tiles are porous and work well with a good ceramic sealant to fill the pores. You can glaze them to fix the problems with the pores. They are available in white, black and terracotta. 
Porcelain tiles are another version of ceramic tiles with lower water absorption rate. They are durable and less susceptible to scratches
 
Making your bath the standout feature
For that fine and elegant appearance, make the bath the standout feature in the bathroom and tile around it. The surrounding tile area gives the bathroom great appeal. You can use white tiles or tiles with lighter colours that help highlight the area and waterproof from splashes.
 
Choose appealing shower enclosures
There is no rule that says that the tiling inside your shower enclosures must be the same as the bathroom wall and floor tiles. You can get creative here and select a slightly different colour or even material to create different patterns.
 
The size of bathroom determines the size of tiles
For small bathrooms, don’t use large tiles as it would make the bathroom look even smaller. Use small tiles in small spaces to get the right look. There are multiple options to choose from. The main disadvantage of tiling smaller bathrooms is that they take more time to complete. The tiling of a smaller bathroom can take longer than a bigger bathroom. This reflects in the bathroom tiling cost. 
 
Choose colours with the end user in mind
Your colours should be determined by how the bathroom is to be used. For a family bathroom use tiles with primary colours that are children friendly. If you have adult children or no children, then you can be more style conscious with your choice for colours of tiles. If you spend little time at home, then there is no point buying expensive tiles when practical ones will do.
