Gone are the days when bathrooms were basic functional units, with little or no thought going to their designing, and visual appeal. In recent times, bathrooms have become style statements, and have resulted in entirely new design phenomena the stylish and comfortable bathroom.

Given the smaller space that is generally allocated to bathrooms, compared to the entire house, it becomes more of a challenge to produce visual and aesthetic appeal in such a small area.

Bathroom tiles, fittings, and lighting play an important part in making the bathroom a modern work of art.

Because they cover at least 75-80% of the area, bathroom tiles are important determinants to the look of the bathroom. Thus, selection of the right bathroom tiles assumes utmost importance.

Different coloured/ textured / patterned tiles can create depth. The rule of the thumb is that if the bath area is small, light coloured tiles with a reflecting finish, as also glass tiles should be used to give the illusion of space. Monotony could be broken by careful use of decorative tiles over a small area like the wash basin. For larger areas, coloured tiles could be experimented with. Contrasting coloured tiles could be experimented with, for an unusual look. There are many online resources available which provide various ideas/ photos for tiling bathrooms, DIY tips on how to tile, and various tips on how to keep your tiles clean and sparkling bright.

But the most important factor while designing your bathroom is that no matter what design you choose, the bathroom, like the rest of your house, should be a reflection of your overall personality and style
