The Various Sizes of Floor Tiles: Which is Best for Your Home?

Floor tiles come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so it can be hard to figure out what will work best for your space. Should you be considering a small, medium or large tile for the room makeover you’re taking on? What about a plank tile, will that work?

It can be confusing at know the difference and frustrating to know what is best for your space, after all you really don’t want to make the wrong choice and have to see your mistake on the floor day in and day out.

At CTM, we understand that deciding on a floor tile size, shape, colour and design can be daunting, especially if you’re a first-time homeowner or renovator. Read this blog to find out more about the variety of floor tiles in different sizes that are available so you can make an informed decision before starting your renovation project.

What Factors Should You Consider When Choosing Tile Size for Your Home Flooring Project?

Before even considering a tile size for your floor, there are a few other considerations to keep in mind when tackling a floor project, such as:

What is the overall style of my home?
Do I have a general colour scheme throughout my home or is each room a design style on its own?
How much natural light does the room get – a lot or a little?

These considerations will enable you to start moving in the right direction when it comes to choosing different sizes of tiles for differing needs. When it comes to tile size in particular, here’s what you need to consider:

Consider the size of the room
Can you consider the use of bright, bold colours in the space or does the tile need to remain in a more neutral palette.
Do you have a preference on the colour of the grout- smaller, differently shaped tiles look great with a darker grout, where larger tiles will give a more seamless, flowing effect if the grout matches the tile colour.

What are the Benefits of Using Different Tiles Sizes in Different Room Sizes?

Any stylist or interior designer will tell you that there is a basic rule when it comes to space versus size. Larger tiles make a space appear larger, more open and airier and smaller tiles draw the eye in making it appear smaller and cosier.

If you have a large room with lots of natural light, consider using a large-format tile on the floor to create open-plan living at its finest. Large tiles, especially in light or neutral colours can make a larger space appear seamless, as if the indoors and outdoors are merging into one.
If you have a smaller space, like a bathroom, study, or even a smallish kitchen, choosing differently shaped and coloured tiles can creative a lot of interest and intimacy in a space. Consider playing with laying rectangular tiles in different shapes like diamond, herringbone or even in a staggered design to create movement and interest in the room, making it appear larger
