Tips for tiling your dream bathroom

Mod­ern tiles come with a wide range of choices. This makes it easy to turn your bath­room into a private well­ness oas­is. Our expert gives a brief over­view of the count­less design options, explains the func­tion­al bene­fits and provides valu­able install­a­tion tips to ensure a healthy home.

Tip 1: : Skillfully stage your bathroom by choosing the right look

Tiles are a cru­cial ele­ment when it comes to cre­at­ing a beau­ti­ful atmo­sphere in the bath­room. Wheth­er large slabs or small mosa­ic tiles: they are not only avail­able in clas­sic white, beige, grey or black, but also in styl­ish col­ors to reflect cur­rent trends. Mar­ine col­ors such as aqua­mar­ine, cool green and deep azure blue are very much in vogue, as they give clas­sic stone­ware and cement tiles an extra fresh look. Mod­ern tiles can also be made to imit­ate the look of wood, con­crete or nat­ur­al stone. If you like it warm and cheer­ful, choose yel­low and orange tones. By con­trast, grey tiles cre­ate a cool and trendy urb­an look. Also pop­u­lar: a black-and-white check­er­board pat­tern. Addi­tion­ally, tiles offer a great vari­ety of sur­faces – wheth­er pol­ished, matte, glossy or rough. Even wave-like and curved struc­tures as well as reliefs, hon­ey­combs or flowers are avail­able now. Large-format tiles are cur­rently very trendy because they make the bath­room look more spa­cious. This effect pays off espe­cially in small rooms.

Tip 2: Functionality – a strong argument for tiles

Tiles not only look good, but also offer numer­ous func­tion­al advant­ages. When expertly installed, wall and floor tiles can with­stand the high wear and tear of bath­rooms for many dec­ades and are there­fore a sus­tain­able choice. They are made of nat­ur­al raw mater­i­als and are easy to keep clean when equipped with a smooth sur­face. Tiles are extremely hard-wear­ing: objects that have fallen down will leave no marks or dents. Floor tiles with a rough sur­face are usu­ally installed in wet rooms to provide the neces­sary slip res­ist­ance. For many people, a warm bath­room floor is of key import­ance. This is where tiles show anoth­er strength: They con­duct heat very well, which makes them the per­fect part­ner for under­floor heat­ing.
