    How to choose your bathroom tiles

    Choosing bathroom tiles is a simple task if you know how. One essential aspect is to pay attention to the quality of the materials and choose pieces that can resist the humidity of the bath and shower areas. Not all finishes can withstand these conditions and can affect the appearance of the tile over time.

    One of the most critical aspects when choosing bathroom tiles is, for safety, high slip resistance. Shower floors should have a non-slip surface that provides safety against potential slipping. In addition, it is important to choose tiles that are easy to clean and disinfect, an essential quality for this room, which usually accumulates humidity.

    Ideas for combining tiles in the bathroom

    In recent years the bathroom has progressed from being one of the most forgotten rooms in terms of decoration to being considered one of the essential rooms to define the personality of a home.

    From this enhancement of the bathroom area, we have found new trends to combine different designs to make the bathroom a dynamic and unique place.

    In these articles, we show you some ideas, fresh colours for summer bathrooms and bathrooms with blue tiles.

    One of the rising trends is to emphasize specific areas such as the vanity area or the shower area with decorative mosaics or touches of colour to give a special decorative touch to these areas.

    A perfect example is this design with the new Chicago series using Botanic Cold to highlight the shower area and combining it with other colours from the series: Ocean, Ash and White Cotton to create a unique and special look.

This use of tiles for modern bathrooms will generate depth and dynamism.

For instance, you can combine matt floorings with shiny walls or highlight details with a finish and use the other for the rest.
