Tips & Tricks – Tile Selection for a Small Bathroom

Choosing tiles for your new home, or home renovation, is an exciting time.  But, it’s easy to be overwhelmed with the myriad of options available to you.  There’s choosing the shape, the texture, the pattern, the color and, then, when you think all the decisions are done, you need to choose the grout!

One of the questions we are often asked is how to infuse a bit of a Moroccan style into a small bathroom.  So here’s some tips and tricks for selecting the right tiles for your small space.

1. Remember dark-colored walls will make a room appear smaller

If you have a tiny bathroom, the best idea to create an impression of space is to paint the walls a light color.  Dark colors will make a room appear even smaller than it really is, whereas a light-colored wall will enhance the space.  That’s not to say you can’t inject a little bit of color, perhaps as a Moroccan tile border at the base of the wall, or even a Moroccan tile feature behind your taps and basin to create a feature.

2. Use dark floor tiles to make a room appear larger

Dark floor tiles offer a great contrast to a light-colored wall, and they create the illusion of space.  Whether you choose a decorative, patterned tile, or a more neutral tone, dark toned floor tiles will add warmth to the space and make the light-colored walls appear even more expansive.

Light-colored floors do also give the impression of space, but teamed with light-colored walls, your room is likely to appear too plain and ‘hospital-like’.  So, if you’re looking to incorporate Moroccan style in your home, try to avoid this.

3. Consider a Moroccan shower feature

This depends on the configuration of your shower and bathroom, of course, but installing a Moroccan-themed shower feature is a very stylish way to cleverly incorporate the colors and patterns of Morocco into a small room.  Choose the shower wall that is most noticeable from the entry door for the best effect and team the Moroccan tiles with complementing neutral tones that suit the space.
