Today we are going to start a 5 part series about installation tips for your bathroom tile designs.
Success with any bathroom tile design project involves both the left and the right brain or both the logical as well as the artistic in a person. In this series we address all aspects of a project for conception to finished product. Whether it's a large or small project, whether you to the design yourself or hire a designer, and whether you hire a tile setter or install them yourself there are certaing facts you need to think about before you get started...
Tip #1 - Selecting your Bathroom Tile Designs
Selecting the right stone, glass, ceramic tile and choosing the correct pattern or design you must ask yourself the following questions:
- How much is in my budget? (be very realistic about this)
- How much time do I intend to have available for maintenance?
- What are my style tastes?
- Where in particular and I planning on adding bathroom tile?
- What is the style of the rest of the house?
After you have thought through these questions, head to the local tile store and window shop for a while. Talk to the sales person. We very much prefer a full-service tile center to one of the huge home supply stores because the sales people actually know something about what they sell. After you've kicked the tile for a little while go ahead and buy a few samples and bring them back to your bathroom. Set them up in areas where you intend to install them and live with them for a few days. How do they look in the light of your bathroom? Do they go with the other fixtures or colors in your bathroom?
You will hopefully be living with this bathroom tile design for quite some time to come to take your time here!
