There is possibly nothing worse from a design point of view then choosing the wrong tiles for a room in your house and only figuring it out when its too late. No-one wants to live with a tile choice that they don’t enjoy day in and day out, right?

In this blog, we’ll give you pro tips on how to choose the right bathroom wall tiles for your home including tips on choosing tile style and size.

5 Ways to Choose the Perfect Bathroom Tile for You

If you use these easy-to-follow steps to help you decide on the best tiles for the bathroom walls in your home, you’re guaranteed to make the right decision the first time.

#1 - Decide on a style

Choose what style you want to bathroom to follow. Are you choosing a classic look that’s timeless and elegant, or are you wanting to implement a modern trend like wood-look natural tiles or metallic mosaics in the space. Knowing what style you want to achieve, is key when choosing the right modern home bathroom wall tiles.

Pro Tip: Create a Design Mood Board with inspiration on the colours, textures, and combinations you like. Cut out pictures from your favourite home décor & design magazines and create a board that covers all your favourite things from walls to floors.

#2 - Consider your tile size preferences

What size tile do you preferably want to use. There are loads of different options with most tiles being sectioned into small, medium and large format sizes. Small tiles are around 300mm x 300mm for square shaped tiles, with subway tiles being around 200mm x 100mm. Medium tiles are generally around 430mm x 430mm and large format tiles can be anywhere from 600mm x 600mm to 1200mm x 1200mm.

Pro Tip: Use the Tile Visualiser Tool at CTM online to test out what a variety of different tile sizes might look like in your space. This tool gives you a real life feel for what different tile options will look like in your exact space.

#3 - Choose no more than three different tiles

Too much choice can be incredibly overwhelming during a renovation project. We always recommend choosing a maximum of three different tiles to choose from, so that it doesn’t become too confusing to make your final decision.

Pro Tip: Again, use the Tile Visualiser Tool to help you make your final decision. This tool will allow you to take your three options and see what they would look like in your exact room, giving you the option of playing with wall and floor colours to match too.

#4 - Consider your shower space

The shower space can be a convenient space to get bold and daring in. If you are worried about choosing decorative wall tiles for the bathroom as a whole, you might be more comfortable only using the shower space to incorporate a decorative, patterned or bold tile.

Pro Tip: If you have a very large shower space, consider using a strip of mosaic tiles or pebbled tiles up one strip of the wall, flowing down into the floor too. If the shower is smaller, you can get away with tiling the who shower space in a dark tile, patterned tile or even a trendy metallic mosaic perhaps.

#5 - Take maintenance into consideration

Maintenance and keeping your tiles and bathroom clean is a key element to consider when choosing the right tile. If your bathroom is a busy wet area that services all the kids in the house daily, you want to consider a tile that is super easy to clean and is hard wearing like a ceramic tile. If you’re doing a reno on your main bathroom that only services you and your partner, you may be more inclined to go with a slightly more luxurious glossy porcelain or marble tile for the walls.

Pro Tip: Use an old, soft toothbrush to clean off mould and mildew between wall tiles. Mix a paste of baking soda and vinegar for excellent results.
