When you start with the project of designing or redesigning your house, and especially the bathroom, there is a high chance that you’ll feel overwhelmed by all the available options. There is a lot that needs to be done in designing the bathroom, and this can be confusing at times. 

Let’s start with the basic step of first picking out the perfect bathroom tiles , and then move forward with other options. Here we’ll discuss how to choose the bathroom floor tiles and what all options are available for your bathroom. 

Bathrooms are the most important aspect of your entire space and it needs to be maintained with proper hygiene to avoid any health hazards. This makes it essential to pick out the bathroom floor tiles with utmost sincerity and thorough evaluation of all the available options. 

Here are a few tips for you to follow while picking out the perfect bathroom floor tiles for your house. 

• Select a Theme For Bathroom

Before you go out selecting tiles for your bathroom, pick out a theme that you want to give to your bathroom. Once you have decided for a theme, check out possible options of tiles available in that theme. 

Here you can either choose a theme that matches the theme of your entire house or you can experiment with a contrasting theme altogether and make your bathroom stand out. 

Depending on the theme, explore the matte tiles available. Matte tiles are the best option for bathroom floor tiles as they provide a textured surface which makes it a safe option, and are also anti-skid. Here Ceramic tiles would be a perfect option for you to consider as they offer a wide range of colours, designs and patterns with a matte finish and natural finish to a cosy space. 

• Decide Tile Size

Calculate the available space in your bathroom before you decide for bathroom floor tiles. If you have a small bathroom, you might want to consider large format tiles as they help to make the space appear bigger and open. However, if you have a large bathroom space available you can go with small size tiles as well. 

Ceramic tiles are available in different formats and sizes depending on your needs. With the H&R Johnson bathroom floor tiles options you can pick out different tile sizes as per your available space. 

• Set Up a Budget

There are a lot of options available when it comes to bathroom floor tiles. If you go on exploring all the options, this might further lead to confusion as to which options to choose. To avoid any such confusion, limit your budget, set up a certain amount that you’ll be investing in your bathroom. 

Further choose tiles from a given price range and limit your options to avoid the overwhelming situation due to option density available. 

This will also help you to keep a check on the investments you are making and keep the entire bathroom in an affordable range. 

Compare all the options available in the market in your price range, and choose the one that goes with your style, ideas, and most importantly the budget. 

• Follow The Three Tile Rule

As already mentioned the options available in the market are limitless, hence follow a rule of not choosing more than three different tile options. With this you will be able to maintain the diversity and also keep everything aligned as per the theme and design. 

Keeping the diversity to three tiles only will avoid confusion as well while selecting the tiles. Additionally, adding more than three different options might make your bathroom appear cluttered, small, and unorganised which is something that you would like to avoid. 

• Refer To The Available Trends

Take inspiration from the available options and trends and choose the ones that match with your style. Don’t follow a trend because it is being adopted by a large number of people, that will make your bathroom look similar to many others. 

To ensure that your bathroom space looks different from the rest, explore the trends and pick out the ones that are practical and go with your ideas, you can also modify these trends as per your convenience. 

• Explore The Available Options

Have a look at all the vendors available and explore the options available. Explore different tile styles before settling for anything. 

You can either go with a monochromatic theme and get cement-like tiles which will also provide some texture to your bathroom floor, making it safe even when wet. Or you can go with tiles with a rustic and natural look, with stone tiles for a nature inspired design and develop a cosy bathroom space. 

• Separate Shower Space

If you are planning to have a separate shower space, then you might want to consider having different tiles for the shower space floor and for the rest of the bathroom floor. As an alternative you can keep the entire space with the same tiles as well. 

If you decide on having different tiles in the shower space you might want to consider ceramic tiles which are anti-skid, water resistant and durable. In the shower space you can install natural stone tiles for more texture, and have regular ceramic tiles for the rest of the bathroom space. 

• Consider The Maintenance

One of the most important factors while choosing any tile is to consider the maintenance of those tiles. While ceramic tiles are highly durable and low-maintenance, if you decide to go with vitrified or glare vitrified tiles, they require more maintenance, and so do the porcelain tiles. 

However, even in ceramic tiles consider the grout lines that might need regular cleaning and filling with epoxy. 

• Picture The Overall Finish

Once you have decided on the style, size, and finish of the tiles, picture the overall bathroom once and see if everything goes with each other or not.
