Have you ever wished that your small bathroom is, well, somehow bigger? Fortunately for you, you can always use proper tiling strategies to make this small room in the house look bigger than it is. You do not have to spend a lot on renovation and that is the good thing about it. Here are some tips for you to consider:
- Opt for light-colored tiles – One of the things that you would have to do is to consider installing light-colored tiles. Some of the best examples include white, cream, and even sky blue. Light-colored tiles visually extend beyond where they are. It is because of this effect of light-colors that they are used for ceilings as well as walls. If you have a small bathroom, avoid dark tiles like black or deep red. These are only for bathrooms that actually have a lot of space for dark-colored visual effects.
- Go for diagonal patterns – Whenever installing your tiles, it is suggested that you consider diagonal patterns. Diagonal lines help a lot in creating the illusion of space within your bathroom. If you would notice, vertical lines formed by tiles on top of each other look shorter than diagonal lines. Also, vertical arrangement makes it easier for the eyes to count the number of tiles that make the lines. On the other hand, if the tiles of the same color create diagonal lines, the observer will not have any idea as to how many tiles were used to create those lines – thus, the illusion of longevity.
- Install small tiles – If you have a small bathroom, you have to consider getting small tiles from tile stores. Small tiles are only appropriately proportional to your small bathroom. Do note that if you go for very huge tiles or slabs, your bathroom would surely look smaller than it actually is. Your goal is to increase the virtual space of your bathroom and not to make it look any more clogged.
