Two basic rules for the correct choice of tiles

When buying a tile, many simply come to a hardware store, select the tile pattern they like and buy the required amount. However, some time after installation, the tile loses its original appearance, fades and the room no longer looks as bright as we would like.

But often in this case, the tile is not at all to blame. Most likely, the owner of the room did not take into account the design features of the room and chose the wrong material, namely, the wrong tile.

Today, the building materials market has a fairly large selection and it is very easy to make mistakes. To avoid this, you need to follow some rules. In particular, when choosing a specific tile, the following features should be considered.

1. Room size analysis. The shade of the tiles greatly affects the size of the room. It means that visually one tile can increase the area, while the other can decrease.

So, if the room is small, then you should not choose tiles in dark shades or with large patterns. Such a tile will further reduce the size of the room.

For small rooms, light tiles are needed. If you want to take a tile with a pattern, then it should be small. In addition, the size of the tiles should also be compact.

If you still want to take tiles in dark shades, then you should not decorate the whole room with such tiles. Dark tiles must be combined with light ones. A mosaic can be used as a small tile.

With regard to the use of several types of shades, you can give preference to the "stretching" method. This method involves the use of several shades of tiles - from the darkest to the whites.

It is worth giving preference to large drawings on tiles if the room is large.

2. Pre-selection of the room style. An incorrectly chosen style of interior decoration can also spoil the interior. For example, baroque or rococo are suitable for rooms with a large area.

In this case, only the classics are universal. It can be used in rooms of any type and size. When choosing a modern style, you can visually significantly expand the space.

The rustic style will create comfort in a small room. It is recommended to use 3D drawings or photo prints to add volume to the room. In this case, the volume is created by dissolving the boundaries of the walls.

Consider these nuances when choosing a finishing material and then you will not have to regret an unsuccessful repair.
