It does look really impressive in a living areas, it will make a huge difference to the overall appeal. Same with bathrooms. What are the dimensions of your bathroom? 300x600 rectangles drag your eye further than 450x450 adding to sense of space even in the smallest of bathrooms. You'll notice that most interior designers don't work with small tiles much. Think about the way you want to lay the tiles if you go rectangles in the bathroom. Laying horizontally on the wall or vertically? They do actually look very different. Re: Colour concepts (tiling) opinons 6Oct 14, 2014 7:02 pm Charlston01 Yes, go larger than 400x400.

Yeah 300x600 rectangle for the bathroom is what I'm thinking of, not sure if just for vertical walls, wet floors maybe 450x450. Will align the tiles horizontally for the rectangle shaped wet area wall tiles. FYI I am doing charcoal colour wet floor, and then the lighter (beige or silvery grey on the wet walls, shower with the mosaic feature running vertically downwards) Should look nice I hope. I'm going back to tile shop to revisit the colours now that I have my sizes in mind. Re: Colour concepts (tiling) opinons 7Oct 19, 2014 10:58 am An update, have narrowed down my selections. Picked a new main living/kitchen floor tile, importantly in 500x500, this is called Latte colour and its gloss, I think on its own once laid will look fairly suttle, classy, warm. Bathrooms will have, as previously pictured, a charcoal gloss floor tile, skirting and shower walls will be an ivory colour from the same series, both those are 450x450 sizing (happy with). Bathroom feature: Aldelphi interlock mosaic - still not sure how to use this, all I know is I do want it incorporated, currently its been a vertical shower wall strip (row of 3 wide), or leaning towards keeping it out of the shower itself and use it as a splashback horizontally between the mirror and the bathroom sink/bench etc. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Bathroom benches will be Silestone: Yukon http://www.silestoneoceania.com/colours/colour/yukon/ Kitchen benches will be Silestone: Blanco Maple http://www.silestoneoceania.com/colours/colour/blanco-maple/ Bedrooms looking to be charcoal grey carpets.

Outside (no choice, predetermined by builder) - dark/light grey scheme. Looking to tile the facade pillars rather than rendering. Builder is quoting 2500$ laying cost for upto 10msq. The 2 pillars come to be 16msq. So laying costs are 5000$… 0 7965 Hi, I'm clearing the tiles from our horrid 50 year old bathroom and preparing to lay new ones.
