In many areas of the house, people have moved from bright and loud colors to more muted ones. A similar trend is evident in bathroom tile design. The popularity of matte finish tiles follows this trend. They feature a soft but powerful beauty-style that does not get too overwhelming. an advantage of matte tiles is that they do not show smudges and water marks as easily as glossy tiles. This makes them ideal for the bathroom floor, especially in busy bathrooms. The dull finish makes them easy to maintain. When installing matte tiles make sure there is enough lighting, both natural and artificial, as these tiles are not known for reflecting light.
Glossy finish tiles feature a more dramatic effect on the bathroom. They tend to create an elegant, highly polished look and feel. This is why they are still very popular. They are especially great for small bathrooms as they tend to reflect plenty of light and create the perception of a space that is larger than it seems. But because they need more maintenance work and are a slip hazard, glossy finish tiles are often used on walls or low-traffic bathroom floor areas.
If you are looking for understated elegance with unspoken sophistication, go for matte finish tiles. They are also great if you want an earthy style in your bathroom. But if what you are looking for is something a bit more dramatic and attention-capturing, glossy finish tiles are right up your alley.
Subway tiles can be boring. Those white 3 by 6 rectangles can be quite commonplace. In 2017, subway tile will get a bit more interesting as the tiles depart from the traditional size and pattern. Specifically, we are going to see these tiles offered in more colors, larger sizes, and a-typical design patterns with a possibility of contrasting grout colors that move us away from the common all-white look. You can even combine different colors of tile to create an interesting wall mosaic for your bathroom. Being small, subway tiles can be mixed and matched in all sorts of interesting variations.
