Bath Shower Home Design

Tiling a bathroom floor is one of the most cost- effective home improvement projects that needs moderate skills and correct materials. It’s a great way to add value to your bathroom remodel and can allow you to add upgrades like radiant heat. It’s easier than ever to source great-looking, affordable tile . Choosing the right tile color and style When selecting a tile for the floor, the color should be neutral and coordinate with your cabinetry, paint color and shower or bathtub. If your bathroom floor tends to get messy from dust and debris, consider a tile that isn’t a solid color – a variety of color changes or textures will do a better job hiding dirt than a solid color. Using a light color may contribute to a greater sense of space but that theory isn’t always true. The color choice should be more dependent upon how the color of the floor tile relates to the other colors in the room. Be sure you bring home samples of your top choices and set them on the floor next to your ot...

brendaindelray August 11, 2017 I know this is something other folks with a small bathroom have wrestled with but every bathroom is different so I am asking for opinions on my specific bathroom. It's tiny --- 5 feet wide x 7.5 feet long but with a 9' ceiling. This is an old 1924 house and I am remodeling to make it more functional while also trying to maintain a style appropriate to the house. The clawfoot tub looks charming but is ridiculously non-functional and must go --- it's too difficult to climb in to take a shower and nearly impossible to clean around. The floor is a hideous beige/brown tile so it's coming out, too. I like the current vanity so will try to reuse it. The clawfoot will be replaced with a standard cast iron tub , the floor will be a small format octagon white tile , and the walls around the tub will be a 4"x8" white subway tile . My contractor recommends tiling all the way to the ceiling but it seems to me that the tile will be overwhelm...
