Transforming your Bathroom!

Designing or revamping a bathroom can often seem like a challenge if you are faced with a limited or awkward space to work with. However, with clever use of flooring, it is simple to completely transform the room and create illusions of a much bigger space. One of the easiest ways to make your room appear bigger is with white tiles. This smart and sleek colour choice reflects the light rather than absorbing it meaning it is a lot easier to create the airy, spacious effect you are looking for. However, the use of a lot of white in the room does not mean it has to appear plain and boring. With our range of sizes and texture effects including marble, wood, stone and gloss you can still have eye-catching statement flooring you desire. Alternatively, if you are not a fan of straight white, a softer colour can still have the same space-creating effect. Why not look at light greys, beige or even light blue colour palettes to create a clean and open design without the harshness of the brilliant white shade.

The right flooring can be the missing component to any room so choosing the best type for you is key. It does not need to be a high-stress experience to find the best quality flooring so with whatever style and practicalities you have in mind, there is sure to be a perfect match to create your dream bathroom.

Other Considerations

If you will be using an underfloor heating system, please ensure that your new bathroom flooring is compatible. If you are installing your own bathroom flooring, please ensure that you have everything you need prior to beginning work and that you don't cut corners - if in doubt, it's always better to consult a professional than to guess! Once your bathroom flooring is installed properly, it should last for years to come. We hope we've given lots of ideas to excite and inspire you to start creating your perfect bathroom flooring - please check out our huge catalogue of bathroom floor tiles, laminate flooring and related accessories for more ideas.
