Tiling design tips
Whether you are a tiling novice or a seasoned pro, our in-house designers have shared some best practices to help make your dream project become a reality...
#1 It’s all in the layout
When designing your dream bathroom it’s not just about the tiles you select it’s all in the layout. Smaller format tiles, like our V&B Urbantones 10 x 30 range can be laid out in many different styles to create a striking design feature. Top Tip: Larger format tiles like our La Faenza Vis range should be laid out in a simple, horizontal grid pattern or stack bond design. This helps to make small rooms feel bigger and creates a sleek effect with fewer grout lines and reduces the need for trimming lots of tiles, saving you time and money. Check out our handy tile pattern layout suggestions for added inspiration.

#2 Small Space, Big Effect
Don’t be afraid to use dark colours in smaller spaces. Of course lighter colours make a room feel bigger and brighter, but that doesn’t mean you should shy away from using darker colours in smaller spaces. A dark tile can add a sense of depth to a room as the parameters of the tile become less clear and, much like a lighter tile, can make a space feel bigger. Top Tip: Tile size shouldn’t be determined by bathroom size. A small bathroom can actually benefit from a large tile, with fewer grout lines the walls and floor appear less cluttered and the room visually expanded.
