Renovations are necessary, whether we're moving into a new home or simply wanting a change in the décor of a room. Most of the time, the budget is limited, and costs can easily exceed the initial plan.
When we think about the bathroom, the first thing we would change are the ceramic tiles. We imagine that new tiles, whether faience or stoneware, will produce the impact we desire so much. On the market, we will find numerous models and combinations of all kinds, suitable for the style of any interior design.
To obtain a touch of originality, we propose exploring some ideas for arranging the tiles in a creative way.
Take, for example, the classic white rectangular tiles. Placed on the wall, one next to the other, they will convey a sense of monotony, which is undesirable in a new renovation. Approach the problem from a different angle: interlace them so that you create games of shapes in the form of the letter L or even zigzags.
Before fixing them to the wall, play around with the desired pattern and evaluate to what extent it will satisfy your new option.
Hexagonal shapes are among the trends of the year in terms of ceramic tiles, especially for flooring. Here too you can explore new possibilities regarding the pattern. Create other hexagonal shapes, mixing white with a dirty white or beige and black (see the model in the gallery). Such a project requires time and care, but the result is worth the effort.
Another interesting model to consider is creating stripes of different colors on the shower or bathtub wall. Here you can opt for small tiles in two shades (one darker for contrast). Choose the colors that please you, blue or green being among those recommended.
If you like colors but the narrow space and lack of natural light prevent you from integrating them on a larger scale, choose a simple but effective option. As a base, use white tiles (square or rectangular) and create a band of small hexagonal black tiles. There is also the option that instead of the band, experiment with interlacing colored tiles in a random order.
Designers recommend that bathroom walls should no longer be completely tiled with faience, but only in areas with direct exposure to water, such as the sink or bathtub. Even on these restricted areas, patterns can be used, even bands of smaller colored tiles, which, however, have an impact on the overall décor of the bathroom.
Mosaic-type patterns are gaining ground in bathroom designs. It's an idea that is as interesting as it is original in decoration. When approaching such a pattern, it is good to have natural light in the bathroom or a lot of white with which to balance the space.
