Large or Small Bathroom Tiles

[sparkie123]

OK this may sound a little daft but me and the other half are in a bit of a dilema over what size tiles to use in the bathrom.

Our bathroom is approx. 2.5m x 2m.

We are hearing different views on how larger tiles will make the bathroom look bigger. Smaller tiles (i.e. 15x15cm) will look too much.

Any profesional advice out there would be greatly appreciated before I go out and buy.

bigger tiles make a room look smaller visa versa also going upto the ceiling depending which tiles you use can make it feel smaller still.

mine are 200 X 150 widthways and my bathroom is 2M square 2.4 high

i did see a friends bathroom much about the same size in really big tiles

it looked fabulous...faster to tile and to get the tiles faired up imho...

if i wasnt matching the 8" x 6" existing i would go for the larger models..

ps they had the floor tiles in big tiles as well...

more geometric look...and lots of chrome and white suite

Why not buy a few tiles in different sizes, use double side tape fix to the wall, step back & have a look.

If you get the tiles from b&q, homebase or similar you will have no problem getting a refund. If you go to Topps Tiles you can also buy samples & have a refund without any problem. I must have bought about 20 different tiles before the forewoman & I could agree on what colour, what size.
