4 Design Ideas for Bathroom Floor Tiles


by DoItYourself Staff

When it comes to bathroom floor tiles, there are numerous designs to think about. You can either have beautiful and elegant designs for your floor or maybe basic and functional. With the amount of options around, it is easy to get confused and the choice can seem daunting. Whether you are working on a tight budget or have money to burn then there is an option for you. It is a challenge to completely redesign a bathroom from scratch if you have a new home for example. Design ideas for bathrooms are getting better and better and more advanced as the years progress. A bathroom used to be considered as just somewhere to freshen up and have a wash. But it is perceived as much more than that nowadays. You should think carefully about the design and here are a few ideas to help you along with that decision.

1. Design Coordination

The first design to consider is to have the floor tiles matching the wall tiles in your bathroom both in color, texture and design. This may not seem that original, but will give a really professional look and feel to your room. It is important though that when you decide on this design idea that the tiles are identical as you don’t want a few looking out of place. Having the floor tiles matching the wall tiles will mean you will be able to maintain the bathroom much easier as everything is the same. If there is damage to a tile then you will have a much simpler job replacing it.    

2. Tile Materials

When thinking about the design for your bathroom floor tiles, you should consider the type of material you want and how it will look. There are an incredible amount of options from vinyl tiles to ceramic tiles amongst others. Additionally, you have the option of stone tiles made from marble to granite. There are benefits and disadvantages to all these designs. Vinyl floor tiles will be easier to clean as you can just wipe them clean. Stone tiles will give your bathroom a more rustic feel, but could get cold in the winter months when it gets cold. There is another option, and that is to use mosaic tiles which should give your bathroom a unique and elegant feel to it. 

3. Color Theme

You should plan the color of your tiles as this is important in any design. You should ideally pick a color that blends in with the wall tiles and color of them. Some of the most popular designs are those that have a pastel shade. The last thing you want is colors that make your bathroom look crowded and no space. If you have a small bathroom then you should look at tiles that have light colors. It is important not to select tiles that are too dark as this can make your bathroom seem a lot smaller.

4. The Size of Tiles

Interesting designs can be created depending on the size of tile you choose for your bathroom floor. Unique and original patterns can be created by using different sized tiles. By placing these at varying angles on the floor then you can create different effects.
