Step away from the same boring all-white bathrooms and step into designer alternatives. While deciding upon which bathroom tile to buy, you must consider a lot of things, and the following points will tell you exactly which ones! Let us look at some bathroom tile buying tips that make for a clean and aesthetically bathroom.

#1: Experimenting with sizes

Picture: The Spruce If you have a large bathroom in your home, you can have large tiles fixed for it. They are easier to clean and fit well in bigger dimensions. You can also try it with dark or pastel colors to offset the general white or off-white tile patterns. In case your bathroom is comparatively smaller, a great way to add space is to have tiles installed diagonally or in the shape of a square. This immediately makes space look larger and is easy on the eyes. Also, if your bathroom has a curved outline, use smaller tiles on it so that it doesn't overpower the decor of the bathroom.

#2: Material Options

While the second most preferred choice is mostly porcelain variants which are popular but slightly expensive. However, the new trend is more focused on natural materials like granite, stone, and wood. Having wood in the bathroom may not be a good option, thus ceramic tiles with wooden textures are available readily in the market. Likewise, you can opt for a stone-finish texture as well. Pro tip: If you don't want a large makeover, opt for tile skin which can be stuck on top of the existing tiles and peeled off when required. Each of these materials has easy maintenance whether installation or repair. Choose something that is aesthetically appealing while offering durability as well.

#3: Money Matters
