When tiling a bathroom where do you start?

When tiling a bathroom where do you start?

Each person wishes to give their tiles a more attractive appearance. This is where the origin of your project comes into play. Any surface must first have a thorough layout before it can be tiled. In this manner, both your cuts and your tiling pattern are known. Before you begin tiling, decide where you want to place the first tile. Lay the rest of your tiles after the first one. Although tiling is a relatively safe task, it is advisable to use caution as with any DIY project. Make sure you are wearing the proper eye protection if you will be chiseling, removing, or cutting new tiles. Similarly, you might want to put on the proper safety gloves if you plan to handle tools like trowels. Another choice is a face mask.
​
Knowing where any hot water pipes are located inside the walls of your bathroom can be beneficial. Any electrical connections are the same. Use a pipe locator to quickly locate any pipes if you don't know where they are located.

Where to Start Tiling: Things You Should Know

Where to begin tiling a floor is one of the most commonly requested questions. Your floor could be tiled at any time. However, starting in the wrong place can result in uneven joints and an unbalanced tile installation. The tiling pattern you choose to use will determine where to start while tiling a floor. There are specific methods for tiling that can be used.

Using Various Tile Sizes

​Many tile designs in recent years have used tiles in more than one size. The layout calls for the sequential placement of two or three tiles of various sizes and shapes throughout the floor. The leftmost corner of the room should serve as the beginning point if you follow this arrangement. Standing by the entrance. The benefit of installing tiles from the corner is that cutting the tiles to fit them at the margins will be simpler. You can also set the tiles in the pattern you like if you start at the corner.

Straight-lined tiling

If you're just starting off, you should stick to this tiling pattern to prevent any mistakes. Two methods can be used to choose the starting point for laying tiles in a straight line. The first approach entails locating the wall's center point on the side opposite the front door. Since there will be a whole row of tiles in front of you as you enter the room, this will give your tiles a more finished appearance. The tiles can be laid out across the rest of the room's perimeter after being cut at the edges.

Backsplash Tile Installation

​Always start from the center of the wall when tiling a backslash. This maintains all of the tiles level and symmetrical and provides your backsplash a more appealing appearance. Measure the wall's length and divide it in half to determine its center. At this midpoint, mark a straight line, measure the height of the wall, and divide that measurement in half as well. At the intersection of the two lines, draw a line. The backsplashes center and starting point for tiling is here.

Starting point for tile work around a bath

Start at the bottom and work your way up when tiling the wall around a bath. At the top, cut tiles won't be as noticeable. Additionally, tiles may slip and fall due to weight if you begin tiling from the top of the wall. It is simple to end with a whole tile if you don't tile from floor to ceiling.​

Starting point for tile work around a bath

​Are you planning a brand-new bathroom or are you just updating an old one? In either case, a smart place to start is by perusing the most recent bathroom tile patterns. Bathroom tile trends provide you with information about current interior design trends as well as a jumping-off point for examining your own unique style and preferences. Homeowners are becoming more daring with small powder room designs and creating distinctive primary bathroom rooms rather than just creating a functional place.

What are the Latest Bathroom Design Trends

​Consider these bathroom tile trends for 2023 as your starting point when selecting a bathroom tile design. Let your imagination run free while drawing inspiration from them. And keep in mind that having fun and not holding yourself back is this year's top bathroom tile trend.

Ribbons & Slats

One of the newest bathroom tile fads is long, thin tiles, sometimes called "ribbons" or "slats." When putting ribbons and slats in your bathroom, you have a variety of alternatives to select from. For instance:
  • Set them up in mosaics.
  • Between larger tiles, place them.
  • Use sizable tiles that are designed to resemble slats.
  • Lay them out in original configurations, like the herringbone pattern.
  • Add texture by selecting textured tiles or by arranging them to give the appearance of three-dimensionality.

Black and White Patterned Floors

​Black and white patterned tile is one of the major trends in bathroom floor tiles. Contrary to common belief, black and white tile patterns are not new; in fact, they were one of the first bathroom floor tile designs. Hexagon, octagon and dot, and penny round tile in black and white were popular floor tile styles when bathrooms were first placed in houses.

Zellige Tile

Another recent bathroom tile design that has shown some sturdiness is zellige tile. A Moorish and Islamic tile-making process called zellige includes hand-crafting tiles with extreme care and attention. Traditional zellige tile is still used in construction all over Spain, Morocco, and the Islamic world.
The popularity of zellige tile is currently on the rise as people start to favor more organic and natural aesthetics. However, the recent zellige tile revival is streamlining the designs, which were previously complex multicolor mosaics. Nowadays, monochrome zellige tile looks are more common, however, color blocking and the use of strong colors are also fashionable. Now that zellige tiles are being created in large quantities, more tile selections are available that have a handcrafted appearance.

Patterned Penny Round Tile Floors

​Our next trend is a continuation of vintage-inspired designs. Around the same time as domestic bathrooms themselves, penny round tile first appeared in Victorian architecture. Yes, they are one of the initial black-and-white bathroom floor tile designs that contributed to the development of the aforementioned trend. Penny round tile continues to be one of the most designs, in addition to influencing other contemporary bathroom tile styles.
Modern penny round tile designs, like the diamond pattern above, typically prioritize patterns over monochrome aesthetics. Word-based designs are a wonderful way to use penny rounds as well.

Large-Format Wall Tile

​One of the largest bathroom tile trends for 2022, if not the biggest, is large-format tiles. For tile to be deemed large-format, it must be at least 12 inches long. Gauged porcelain tile panels and slabs come in sizes up to 10 × 15 feet.  Large-format tiles have the advantage of having fewer grout lines, which results in a cleaner appearance and can visually enlarge your area. The appearance of wallpaper or large slabs of real stone can also be simulated with fewer grout lines. Large-format tiles are certain to dazzle, no matter what style or design you choose.

Checkerboard Tile

​The top of the list is the checkerboard tile. You might automatically imagine checkerboard tile in opulent areas like grand entrances. However, it's a terrific option to quickly and easily add aesthetic flair to your bathroom. Depending on the color combinations you pick, this will have a certain effect. Choose a classic black-and-white color scheme for a vintage or classic appearance. Conversely, if you're going for a softer, more contemporary look, use colors that contrast less, as in the example below.
Since checkerboard tile complements both traditional and modern design, it is particularly useful for connecting together transitional bathrooms. So that you can see more of the pattern, keep in mind that smaller checkerboard tiles perform better in smaller bathrooms.

How to Design Bathroom Tile Layout

​Tile offers a wonderful canvas on which to express your creativity. They can be as subtle or as spectacular in design as you choose, but their durability makes them a practical option for walls and floors. Tile, which is readily available in a wide range of hues, finishes, sizes, forms, and price ranges, also has a secret weapon: the ability to express your personality and alter the visual proportions of your space by selecting a chic or cunning scheme.

Fade a Color to Increase Ceiling Height

​If you're searching for small bathroom tile ideas, our tile layout design is ideal for you. Any area with a limited ceiling height, such as a bathroom, kitchen, mudroom, or entryway, can benefit from using the tile method demonstrated in this bathroom by Base Interior.
To give the illusion of a taller room, simply use darker tile in the lower half of the tiled area and switch to brighter hues as you move above.

Create a rainbow effect

​A similar effect can make a small bathroom look bigger and more intriguing with a rainbow stripe of tiles, just as color fade can be used to exaggerate ceiling height. Stick to a fairly small color palette if you want the impact to be subtle rather than overt, and place brighter colors farther apart to give the illusion that the room is longer.

Interesting Tile Materials Mixed

​It can be very challenging to add interest to a small space without making it feel crowded. One clever way to accomplish this and designate various zones within the room is to use various tile materials and layout patterns.

Use One Tile, Two Ways

​One tile pattern can be fixed in two different ways to produce a more intriguing look if you want to add interest to a kitchen but are on a low budget. The tiles are fixed horizontally and then vertically, alternating on each tier, to provide a checkerboard effect with a repeating step pattern of yellow as opposed to a straightforward stacked grid.

Use Zoned Tiling to Create Contrast

​Placing patterned tile in one area and plain flooring adjacent to it is one technique to designate zones in an open-plan concept. Highly patterned tiles can also be utilized to add surprise to an otherwise plain space. The timeless elegance of a monochromatic scheme always wins points, and the chevron-patterned tile here elevates it even further.

Final Words

​Before placing tiles, prepare the surface by removing any loose paint or wallpaper and repairing any holes and cracks with a filler. After that, use sandpaper to smooth the surface and a moist sponge to remove any dust and debris. Apply painter's tape to the window's edges after the surface has had time to dry. To stop the mortar from harming the nearby surface, this is done.
