I made a combination of different tile material like glass, metal, marble and stone to create a fresh look and they were less in cost.

I matched glossy look tiles and the matt look tiles to give a unique look to my foils. Finding out the best suitable tiles for my flooring was quite confusing. I ended up choosing a dark color which made my kitchen look large. I took contrasting color tiles to make my kitchen elegant.  We all knew that kitchen is the place where we withstand lot of problems like sagging things, liquid spill outs and skippering.  I chose ceramic tiles for the flooring as they are durable and water resistant.  According to the different colors I suited them with a best color for the wall paints.

Bathroom happens to be a main part of the home. So, it has to be kept neat and decorative. I installed floor and wall tiles for my bathroom. I made sure it was installed by an expert to get an error free work. Choosing the tiles depends upon few queries to be cleared out like the usage, color, designs and maintenance.  I contacted few local merchants for the best Bathroom Tiles ideas. My bathroom has few windows and doesn’t look darker. So, I avoided bright colors like black or red as they make the room look small.  I ended up with mismatching two different colors of ceramic tiles to my bathroom. I paved way for calm colors like green, blue and violet and accomplished with few delightful bathroom accessories.   

I chose a grout free tile to avoid unnecessary dirt settling on the bathroom tiles.  I chose textured tiles, as it gives a rasping tone and avoids skippering.  Many people think that maintaining this ceramic tile is a big task but I assure a simple sweep out with few drops of vinegar that will do wonders to the entire bathroom. I personally advise not to use bleach or any other acids as they dull the tile color.  To avoid scratches on the tiles, don’t drag or drop any heavy objects.  Ceramic tiles are the best idea for the bathroom flooring. They are familiar for their durability, water and fire resistance. Ceramic wall tiles are much cheaper than the others and easy to install.
