Bathroom Tile Trends - Westchester County - 3rd Quarter 2011
I thought you might enjoy this post from Debbie Gartner, owner of Floor Coverings International. She has some great insights on what types of tile styles and layouts are popular for bathtooms.
Bathroom Tile Trends - Westchester County - 3rd Quarter 2011
1. Natural Stone look - Both natural stone and porcelain that looks like natural stone are hot. Customers love the color variation from a design perspective (plus, it helps hide the dirt). Chiseled edges are also stylis.
2. Subway tile - Rectangular shapes are in, and so is a bricklay. This is both old and new at the same time. Also, the longer size/shape elongates the space.
3. Light/neutral color - Lighter colors make the space look larger. They give it a more open as well as clean looking feel.
4. Punch it up with border - Whether it's natural stone, glass, metal or porcelain, most bathrooms loke better with a border on the walls to add some visual intrique. It gives the bathroom life, personality and flair. I love to jazz it up with fun sizes/shapes, but also I like to keept he colors neutral. After all, bathroom tile is pretty permenant and you want the border to be timeless and not to pigeon hole you too much from a color perspective. I'd rather see customers add color via the towels/accessories/shower curtains, etc. By staying neutral in color, it will be timeless and survive many towel color/paint color changes as well as potential new owners.
5. Thin Grout lines. These look better + they are easier to clean + the grout tends to last longer.
