If you are thinking on renovating your bathroom you might want to read this article. Usually in the bathroom you will end up installing tiles either in the most likely to be exposed to water areas or you will go for fully tiled walls or floors. The reality is that tiles in this room and in the kitchen are very practical and will deal with the wear and tear very well. But tiling can feel cold and be expensive. It’s not the kind of thing you are going to be changing very often. Painting your walls is much, much easier.
Considering that this will be a long-term investment (yes, whatever renovation you undertake in your bathroom or kitchen will affect the value of your house) you might want to know about the latest trends regarding tiling and this article will help you with that.

If you read the previous article, they were talking about getting the appearance of no tiles either using very big tiles or very small ones. Well one of the examples in the previous article for small tiles was penny tile. Penny tiles are a mosaic like type of tile and, as the name suggests, they look like pennies. It has classic, vintage look to it which makes it timeless very difficult to become outdated. And it can look terrific as you can see in the photo above.
This article showcases several bathrooms with this type of tiling. Jump to the article to see all the photos and get more information.

Well if you read this article you will get several ideas to tackle your small bathroom with little storage space (right now) and subsequent untidiness. Some of the tips to increase your storage space are very simple: adding a shelf above the sink or on the door, using a ladder as a towel holder, etc.

Again a renovation choice that won’t be easily changed and can affect the whole look in your bathroom: the grout colour. If you tile some area in this room you will be faced with this decision and it can greatly affect the look of the whole room. If you have white or light coloured tiles you might prefer to go for white grout. But unfortunately white grout is difficult to maintain and it’ll eventually lose its fresh appearance.
Dark coloured grout might be easier to maintain and with the right tiles it’ll create a very nice contrast. But unfortunately it might also discoloured over time.
