Ceramic tile for toilet

The room where the toilet is located requires a special approach to its design. All interior details should allow to maintain maximum hygiene and freshness in the room. For the manufacture of plumbing and furniture, materials that are easy to wash are used in this room. In addition, such items must be resistant to processing with chemical solutions.

For wall and floor cladding, ceramic tile has been the most popular material for many years. This material is distinguished by all the qualities necessary in this case:

• hygiene;
• strength;
• wear resistance;
• availability;
• an abundance of colors and textures;
• resistance to chemicals.

All these features make this coating the most suitable for decoration of premises with similar specifics.

One of the criteria for choosing the color of the wall covering is the size of the room. A small room requires the use of light shades of tiles. The limited space in itself depresses, and dark walls exacerbate this condition.

In small toilets, it is recommended to stick light shades of blue, green or pink. White color is also suitable, but it is better to dilute it with decorative elements of other shades. Perhaps pasting in white only the top of the wall. So it will be possible to avoid its pollution and maintain the visual sterility of the room.

In addition to monophonic tile models, various patterns and ornaments can be used. The main thing is not to overdo it, since colorful drawings on the walls of a small room have the same effect as dark tiles. To maintain balance, you can use the ornament around the perimeter of the wall or put one strip of such tiles directly in the center of the wall. A vertical strip will help visually raise the ceilings, and a horizontal strip will expand the wall. You can also select several tiles of a different color and create a picture from them on the background of a plain coating of the main color.

In addition to color, the tile may vary in texture. The appearance of the resulting coating also depends on whether the matte, glossy or rough surface of the selected model. Modern manufacturers, trying to reduce the final cost of the product, make imitations of natural stone, wood and other materials. Often it’s not even immediately possible to distinguish natural granite or marble from a fake. Such cladding will look very noble and give the room a chic look.

Selecting plumbing to the color of the wall covering, you can harmoniously complete the composition. A variety of shades of plumbing will allow you to find the best combination. It may be interesting to use a tempered glass toilet bowl in combination with glass blocks. Such a decorative element as glass blocks are in perfect harmony with tile and will allow you to diversify the monophonic wall covering.

For facing walls and floors, you can use the same type of tile. In this case, you need to choose the model that eliminates slipping on such a floor. To a greater extent, this depends on the texture of the top layer. Glossy varieties do not provide the necessary adhesion of the soles of the shoes to the surface. The most suitable will be those models where a rough surface will allow you to stand confidently on your feet.

Despite the hundreds of years that have passed since the invention of mosaics, this method is still an original technique in interior design. The possibilities of such coverage are endless. Among its advantages, in addition to the characteristics inherent in ceramic tiles, there is also the possibility of facing uneven surfaces.So with the help of a mosaic, you can decorate pipes in the toilet, bends of plumbing, an arch or a curbstone.

Using this technique of interior design, you can create all kinds of patterns that are suitable for the theme and color for the toilet. The proximity of the water makes it appropriate to lay out with the help of small pieces of sea waves or waterfalls. To do this, you can use individual parts, creating a picture yourself, or purchase a finished panel with an image already pre-applied to it.

Mosaic can be used only on one of the walls or on its site. Thus, an attention-grabbing composition will turn out to be a central element in the interior. It can be either a picture with a plot, or just an ornament. In addition to ceramics for mosaics, you can use pieces of natural granite, marble, glass, plastic or even metal. With proper processing, all these materials will perfectly manifest themselves in the created conditions.

In order for the tile on the walls of the toilet to look organic, it is enough to harmoniously combine such a facing with other elements of the decor. When a balance of color and compatibility is achieved, the room will take on an attractive look. At the same time, the practicality of the coating will remain at a high level.
