Such an important room for the whole family as a bathroom, then you have many difficult decisions and dilemmas ahead of you. It will be necessary to decide on the style of the room, choose finishing materials for all surfaces (protection of walls, ceiling and floor from high humidity- the main task), decide on the models of plumbing and accessories for it. But in this publication we will focus on the method of finishing the bathroom surfaces using ceramic, glass or stone tiles.

For many years, tiles have been one of the most popular finishing materials for bathrooms, especially among our compatriots. And there are many reasons for this. Tile, glass, stone and its artificial counterpart have a lot of advantages, which significantly outweigh minor disadvantages.

Currently, the range of tiles for tiling bathroom surfaces is incredibly wide. No matter what material the tile is made of, it has the following advantages over other finishing materials:

• moisture resistance. Perhaps not one of those materials that are widely used for facing the planes of rooms for water procedures does not have such high level resistance to high humidity;
• strength and durability. Ceramic and glass tiles will last a long time if the installation was carried out correctly and during operation the owners of the bathroom did not use aggressive methods of cleaning and mechanical stress. Stone tiles is able to serve faithfully for more than one generation of your family, but you need to be prepared for the fact that grinding may be needed (for example, marble is ground every 3-4 years);
• practicality. The tiles are very easy to care for, they are not afraid of the effects of chemical cleaning agents;
• the tile practically does not fade, its appearance remains in its original state for a long time, the color and pattern does not fade or wear off;
• a wide range of sizes, shapes, textures and a huge color palette;
• versatility of application. The tile fits easily into any stylistic direction that you can choose for the bathroom.

Among the shortcomings, few can be noted:

• complexity of installation. If you do not have experience working as a tiler, then you will probably have to turn to a professional for competent and correct, aesthetically pleasing tile installation. Such services are not cheap, but the cost of spent finances, time and energy is compensated by the beautiful appearance of your bathroom, durability and practicality of the finish;
• if we talk about ceramic tiles and mosaics, then their cost varies in the average range of costs for bathroom cladding, glass and especially stone (even from artificial material) Liters will cost significantly more, installation services will increase in price in proportion to the cost of the material;
• Availability connecting seams(joints). How smaller size tiles, the more seams there will be, which must be treated with a moisture-resistant grout. Over time, the color of the grout changes, it darkens, possibly the appearance of mold, so timely care and prevention of the formation of fungus is extremely necessary. But this problem can be easily solved with the help of modern antiseptic agents for bathrooms.

The choice of material for facing tiles

Ceramic tile

The most popular type of cladding (especially in our country) is ceramic tile or tiles. With all the benefits finishing tiles, ceramics, among other things, are also very democratic in cost. The choice of shapes, sizes and colors of ceramic tiles is incredibly large. You can be absolutely sure that the range of modern stores selling ceramic tiles is able to meet the needs of customers with different wallet sizes, color and stylistic preferences.

Curly tiles in bright colors are great for cladding an accent wall, if the rest of the bathroom surfaces are made in light, neutral colors, then the effect will be amazing.

A brick-colored cotto cast is made from red clay and most often does not use glazing. Natural colors, usually within the terracotta color scheme, bring a touch of originality and originality to the bathroom interior. Especially European designers fell in love with cotto tiles for their natural color and warmth. If you are planning a retro-style bathroom interior, then it is difficult to come up with a better type of tile.

Clinker tiles are mainly used for cladding swimming pools, outdoor showers. Extrusion, thanks to which the clinker is made, makes it possible to obtain products of complex geometric shapes. Therefore, manufacturers often offer whole sets for facing complex surfaces of corners, niches and holes for taps and other attributes for water procedures.

By placing the tiles vertically, you achieve a visual increase in the height of your bathing room. With a horizontal arrangement, the area of ​​the bathroom visually increases.

Possessing all the positive qualities of ceramic tiles, mosaics can, among other things, serve as a finishing material for complex surfaces. For example, mosaics can be used to decorate a bathtub or sink, decorate a niche or arch, or trim a mirror or countertop.

Porcelain stoneware

The tiles, which have all the advantages of ceramics, are reinforced in terms of wear resistance and durability. Porcelain stoneware is able to withstand high loads, falling heavy objects and mechanical stress. It is usually produced as floor tiles with a rough surface to prevent slipping, but there are models for wall cladding.

In the production of porcelain stoneware, raw materials are used, which in their composition are close to those used for the production of porcelain, but outwardly such products more resemble stone. Porcelain stoneware has the lowest water absorption among its ceramic counterparts. He enters the most high group in terms of resistance to abrasion and aggressive environments.

Classic unglazed porcelain stoneware has a granular structure throughout the entire depth of the tile, like natural stone, but unlike the latter, it is devoid of unwanted inclusions and pores. The result is a structure that is not prone to cracking. Due to its higher density and uniformity than natural stone, porcelain stoneware surpasses it in some technological characteristics, in particular, in terms of resistance to temperature extremes.

Glazed porcelain stoneware also has a fairly high technical performance, but thanks to the glaze, which can be used to obtain various surface colors, it has a wide range of color palette and printability.

Recently, tiles "under the laminate" have become popular, large dies with a pattern imitating a particular type of wood, in a natural or bleached version.

Glass

Bathroom tiled glass tiles, has an attractive and unique appearance, noble and elegant. But be prepared for the glass trim to add some coolness to the bathroom setting. As a rule, such a finish is made in the form of painted glass, but there are also options with photo printing. After all, manufacturers are capable of fulfilling any whims of yours for the appropriate reward.

Glass tiles can be either smooth or textured. Per textured material a little more difficult to care for, but the visual impact outweighs the minor inconveniences.

Stone

Marble or granite, less often basalt can serve as a material for manufacturing facing tiles... Due to the very high cost of natural materials (especially marble), manufacturers of modern bathroom tiles offer a wide range of artificial imitation of natural materials. Outwardly, it is quite difficult to distinguish between a natural and an artificial product, but the differences will be in the technological properties.

Have artificial stone there is one significant advantage over natural (in addition to cost) - it is much lighter and easier to install.

Choosing the size of the tiles for the bathroom

After you have decided on the type of tiles that you will use on the surfaces, you will need to choose the size of the dies. Everything will depend on the area, shape and complexity of the geometry of the surfaces of the room in which the decoration will take place. If the selected material fits well into the dimensions and design features of the bathroom, then there will be much less waste, and therefore financial costs. In addition, the correct size of the tiles allows you to reduce the number of joints and small inserts.

Recently, the use of large tiles has become more and more popular, which is not surprising, because the larger the size of the dies, the fewer seams and the faster installation is carried out. Very often, designers and homeowners began to use porcelain stoneware, which previously served only as a floor covering, for cladding walls or their parts.

But large tile sizes are not suitable for every bathroom. If the surfaces of your treatment room have curves, columns, arches or niches, then small tiles or mosaics are more suitable for cladding.

For the originality of the bathroom interior and significant budget savings, you can use different kinds tiles, combining them not only in accordance with the color palette, but also the size of the dice of the finishing material more suitable for each surface.

Deciding on the color palette of the bathroom

One of the most difficult choices, due to the incredibly wide range of finishing materials in modern stores, is the selection of colors. In this case, it all depends on your personal preference and the size of your water treatment room. It's no secret that light colors contribute to the visual expansion of space (and for many bathrooms in standard apartments this question is more than relevant). If the tile you have chosen is small, again, the designers recommend staying on a light scale. But there are no canons and prohibitions.

Many of our compatriots are afraid to decorate the bathroom in white and even snow-white colors, fearing the increase in the time that will have to be spent on cleaning and cleaning surfaces. In practice, it turns out that the main obstacle to the shine and cleanliness of the tile cladding is a light bloom that remains from water droplets. And on light, white tiles, it is almost invisible, which cannot be said about dark shades finishing material.

For lovers of bright colors, manufacturers of ceramic tiles and mosaics offer a wide selection of rich, colorful colors. But when deciding on a desperate step to lining the bathroom in your favorite scarlet color, for example, stop and imagine that you will need to take a bath in this red room for many years (after all, such repairs are being done, as they say, for centuries). Perhaps you will limit yourself to just one bright wall, made as an accent. Or you can use your favorite bright shade as a border pattern, highlighting certain significant segments of the bathroom. You can emphasize the edging of the mirror with a colorful cladding, emphasize the shape of the bath or sink, or lay out decorative panel on the wall.

Ceramic tiles with a pattern or ornament should also be approached with caution. The cladding of all the walls of the bathroom with tiles with a variegated print can lead not only to a visual decrease in the area of ​​the bathroom, but also to a psychologically uncomfortable stay in it. Again, it is recommended to use a bright, variegated pattern as accents, dosed and locally.

Execution as an accent wall of a panel with a picture in oriental style, will not only bring color variety to the bathroom interior, but also make it more personalized and unique.

Plaque Mediterranean style Your bathroom will be helped to add edging to tiles with bright blue ornaments, a panel on the wall or a drawing on the floor, laid out using tiles with intricate patterns.

Tiling a bathroom helps to achieve two main goals: to give space aesthetic appearance and protect the floor and walls from moisture. Today, there is just a huge selection of tiles on the market of finishing materials.

Bikottura, monocottura, mosaic, porcelain stoneware, clinker, metlakh, glass and mirror tiles- all these types of tiles you can find on the market today. Each of these types of tiles has its own characteristics. So, monocottura, unlike bicottura, is more durable, and therefore it is often used in floor decoration.

Bathroom finishes color palette

If you look at the photos of recent years, you can be convinced of the prevalence of such a modern idea of ​​design and decoration of bathrooms as the use of light beige tiles. This trend is not accidental. Beige, being as close to skin tone as possible, is very harmonious in rooms for taking water treatments. In addition to light-colored tiles, coffee-colored tiles are also popular. And by mixing light colors with black or dark blue, interior designers manage to create contrasts. To make the monochrome interior seem more attractive, experts combine tiles with different patterns and textures in the same room.

The use of ceramic tiles is the main way to decorate bathrooms. This is due to the high technical and operational qualities of this material. But not the last role is played by the selection of tiles in shape and color in accordance with the chosen style of interior decoration.

Bathroom color scheme

When planning repairs in an apartment, many people are interested in what color tiles to choose for the bathroom. This important question, the solution of which depends on the available area. After all, the size of the free space determines your possibilities in the implementation of the design idea.

Small room

The main task is not only to rationally dispose of a small room, but also to try to visually expand it. Tiles of light shades will help you with this. Of course, the most simple solution there would be a choice of pure white ceramics, but for many it will cause negative feelings due to the association with a hospital.

Therefore, it is advisable to opt for a blue, azure, light green, beige, sand color. It also visually expands the walls and a glossy surface in combination with mirrors on the walls and cabinets, complemented by lighting.

Remember that cool tones help compensate for a small floor space, while warm tones have the opposite effect. Small patterns that do not accentuate attention on themselves help to revive the interior, but bright patterns "eat up" the effect of the design idea. It is not recommended to place panels here, since this format of decoration will visually bring the walls closer.

The use of tiles of two colors in the bathroom remains relevant. In this case, it is necessary to provide a transition from a darker bottom to a light top.

Smooth out the visual joint between the ceiling and the wall - there should be no contrasting colors in this place. Therefore, the classic combination of blue or light blue and white is still in vogue.

Bathroom combined with toilet

All the options discussed above remain valid even if you managed to expand the room through combined use with a bathroom. You need to pick up best combinations colors for tiles in the bathroom, while separating the toilet area. Usually this is done using a partition - it can be light from drywall or more massive from brickwork or other materials.

You can already use combinations of three colors. Leave the bottom light with a slight approach to flooring, and a slightly darker shade is chosen for the top. A small border, frieze or compact wall panel will help to highlight accents.

It is advisable to separate the toilet area using, for example, light-colored tiles. For the partition, one of the contrasting tones should be entered - blue, purple or red. In the same version, you can arrange the floor with a transition to the wall surface in 1-2 tiles.

On the wall, it is advisable to go to light color followed by stripes or even lighter decors. Contrasting tiles in a spacious room will help create accents.

Stripes of contrasting tiles at the top and bottom of the surface in the size of several plates look good. For the middle, it is advisable to choose beige or pastel colors.

Spacious room

A wide variety of solutions and combinations are permissible for large bathrooms. You can choose lighter colors or darker colors.

Options with a matte and glossy effect are suitable, you can place accents using drawings and large panels. The mosaic facing will look original.

The presented photos of the colors of the tiles in the bathroom will help you choose the most suitable option in accordance with by their own desires and stylistic perception of the interior.
