Choosing the Right Tiles for Your Bathroom: A Style & Function Guide

/in /by

Tiles are one of the biggest style decisions you’ll make when designing a bathroom — and one of the most practical too. From colours and textures to slip ratings and finishes, the right tiles can elevate your space and make it easier to live with for years to come.

At Olney Bathrooms, we guide customers through every part of the design process — and that includes helping you choose tiles that look amazing and perform well in your space.

Here’s what to think about when choosing the right tiles for your bathroom:

1. Start with Style – What Look Do You Love?

Your tiles set the tone for the whole room. Start by thinking about the style you’re going for:

  • Modern & Minimal: Large-format tiles in soft neutrals, concrete-effect or matt finishes

  • Classic & Timeless: Metro tiles, marble-effect porcelain, or soft stone shades

  • Bold & Beautiful: Patterned floor tiles, colourful feature walls, or geometric layouts

We’ll help you pull together a look that works with the size of your space, your fittings, and your overall vision.

2. Think About Function – Where Are the Tiles Going?

Different areas of the bathroom need different types of tiles:

  • Floor Tiles: Must be durable and slip-resistant. We recommend porcelain with a suitable slip rating (R10 or higher).

  • Shower Walls: Choose water-resistant tiles with low porosity — porcelain or glazed ceramic works well.

  • Feature Areas: Want to add a splash of personality? Feature tiles can go behind a vanity, in a recessed shelf, or around a bath.

We’ll always recommend the right material for the right spot — and ensure it’s installed properly to stand the test of time.

3. Size & Layout – Make the Most of Your Space

  • Small bathrooms: Larger tiles can reduce grout lines and make the room feel more open.

  • Feature walls: Smaller tiles or mosaics add texture and detail.

  • Long, narrow spaces: Use rectangular tiles laid horizontally to visually widen the room.

We can show you layout options using your actual bathroom dimensions, so you’ll see what works best before you commit.

4. Finish & Colour – Get the Mood Right

  • Glossy finishes bounce light and work well in darker or smaller rooms.

  • Matt tiles feel more modern and hide water marks better.

  • Light colours feel clean and spacious.

  • Darker tones add drama and depth — especially when paired with feature lighting or brass fittings.

Not sure what suits your space? We’ll bring samples and ideas to your consultation so you can see how they look in your own lighting.

5. Let the Professionals Handle the Fitting

Even the most beautiful tiles won’t look right if they’re badly fitted. Our experienced installation team ensures:

  • Perfect alignment and clean grout lines

  • Waterproof sealing in all the right places

  • Professional finish from start to end

Why Choose Olney Bathrooms?

We don’t just supply tiles — we design entire bathrooms with care and expertise. From Olney to Bedford, we help homeowners choose the right materials and bring it all together beautifully with our full design-to-installation service.

Tile Elegance: A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Tiles for Your Dream Bathroom

/in /by

Embarking on a bathroom renovation? The choice of tiles can make a world of difference! Let Olney Bathrooms be your guide through the exciting journey of selecting the perfect tiles that blend style, size, and easy maintenance, with our 3 step guide!

1.  Style Harmony:

  • Consider Your Aesthetic: Reflect on the overall style you want to achieve. Whether it’s a modern spa retreat, classic elegance, or vibrant and eclectic, your tiles set the tone.
  • Color Palette: Choose colors that complement your bathroom’s color palette. Lighter tones can create a spacious feel, while bold hues add character and drama.
  • Pattern Play: Explore various patterns, from classic subway tiles to intricate mosaics. Patterns can add visual interest and create focal points within your bathroom.

2.  Size Matters:

  • Space Perception: Larger tiles can make a small bathroom appear more spacious, while smaller tiles can add texture and intricate detail to larger spaces.
  • Grout Lines: Consider the size of grout lines. Smaller tiles often mean more grout lines, which can require more maintenance but also offer a unique aesthetic.
  • Versatility: Mix and match tile sizes for a dynamic look. Consider using larger tiles on the floor and smaller ones for walls or backsplashes.

3. Easy Maintenance:

  • Material Matters: Choose tile materials that align with your maintenance preferences. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are durable and easy to clean, while natural stone may require more care.
  • Grout Selection: Opt for stain-resistant grout to simplify cleaning. Colored grout can also add a touch of design flair while hiding potential stains.
  • Texture Considerations: Smooth, glossy tiles are easy to clean, while textured tiles can add dimension but may require extra attention during cleaning.
