WHEN decorating or designing a home, people tend to turn a blind eye on bathrooms yet the room is just as important as any other room. One way of adding value to your bathroom is using tiles on the floor and on the walls. Tiles can be used to add colour and texture to the decor of your room.
When used correctly, they can cause your bathroom to immediately feel either more relaxing or more vibrant and at the same time elegant. The key to using tiles in your bathroom is to choose the right size and colour of tiles vis-à-vis your room. Think carefully about these two aspects of the tiles as well as to what the overall purpose of the room is intended to be and you should find that using tiles in the design of your home is relatively simple.
For instance, there are types of tiles like mosaic which can be used on the walls in the bathroom around the shower. Tiles add a natural feeling to the shower, as though you are out bathing in the nature of a waterfall surrounded by stones. Choose natural colours accordingly. Here we see that the addition of some natural soap and some great shower curtains can really enhance the feeling of nature that you get when enjoying a shower in this bathroom.
This is another example of how mosaic tiles can be used in a bathroom to evoke the feeling that you are in the midst of nature.
In this case, the bolder green colouring makes the tile really stand out and the feeling is more like being in a jungle environment. Exotic plants enhance that feeling. If you want a bathroom that really wakes you up and makes you feel as though the sun is shining right on you, tiles like these would do the trick.
The bathroom really is an ideal place to start playing around with the use of mosaic tiles in your home. This shows how tiles can be used around a tub as well as up the wall to create one cohesive space that becomes something of an enclosed haven for you to relax in. The addition of some flowers and candles enhances this enclosed space and makes you feel as though your personal bathroom is like a private spa. When creating a design like this, choose a soothing but bold colour like blue.
