How Tiles Can Boost Bathroom Style
Author: dpinning // Category: Bathrooms, DIY Tips, How To Guides, TilesThere are few bathroom remodelling projects that can have a greater impact on the style of your washroom than bathroom tiles. With the multitude of styles, colours, shapes, and sizes available, the design possibilities are endless. The following are some popular options to help inspire you.
A chair rail is typically used in dining rooms or kitchens to prevent wall damage caused by chairs being pushed hard away from the table. In your bathroom, a timeless and elegant chair rail effect can be replicated using two different kinds of tile and some waterproofed wood trim. Apply one sort of tile to the lower half of the bathroom wall, affix the trim approximately waist high, and then place the second type of tile above the trim.
A bathroom tile mural effect gives your walls instant impact. Some home improvement stores and bathroom tile design studios sell pre-packaged mural kits that are relatively easy to apply to the wall in a day or two. Use the mural as a focal point and install other tiles around the central design to complete the look.
Mosaics using bathroom tiles are a fun and funky design element that brings a bit of bohemian appeal to your washroom. They take some time and painstaking work to complete, but the end result is a beautifully textured and interesting surface. An added benefit: You can purchase damaged bathroom tiles on the cheap and use these to craft the mosaic.
Most simple bathroom tiling projects are suitable for do-it-yourself enthusiasts and can be completed over a weekend or two.
