It need not be said, but working with wood when it comes to designing your home interiors can be a challenge. This material requires a significant amount of maintenance, which is why going for wood-look finishes without the drawbacks is one of the best choices you can make. Featuring a darker tone compared to the 2100P2, the A1207 is also another Scandinavian-transforming tile.

Dealing with richer-toned wood-look tiles may not initially seem to be a great choice since Nordic designs are all about cool tones and lightness. But on the contrary, the darker tones offer the best contrast, especially for 1950’s Scandinavian-appropriate furniture, like egg chairs for the living room, or some stylized side tables.

As with any wood-look tile, make sure the room is garnering sufficient natural lighting for truly eye-popping, yet relaxing visuals.

 

Key Takeaway

Try to look at the color wheel and check out different color harmonies. You’ll never know what interesting combination you’ll find. Some popular choices are beige and blue, green and pink, lilac and deep yellow. You can find endless color combinations as long as you pick your palette carefully.

For more interest, colored mosaic tiles also fit well with this look. Be careful with the placement of these in your kitchen. The patterns are already dramatic and if you overdo a wall with color it can be too distracting. Try using the mosaic tiles as half walls. You can choose to start from the top and work your way down halfway or the opposite. Leaving a space bare for your mosaic tiles allows the design to mesh well together instead of looking like a jumbled mess.

You can even use tools online to help you determine how many you actually require. Visit Floor Center’s website to get a simple yet accurate tool to measure out how many tiles you need to use.

 

Determine the Tile Size

You can choose small tiles for your bathroom. It makes sense as the size would only require something below 60×60 cm. But there’s a disadvantage in using small tiles. The result is more grout lines. The more lines you see, the smaller it looks. It’s an optical illusion you can easily break by using medium or large-sized tiles. All you need to do is to properly cut and measure the tiles as you install them. During tiling, remember to choose the right grout color that’s a close match.

Why choose a medium-sized or large-sized tile? You can simplify and improve the flow of the room with these sizes. The scale of the room will remain the same but unlike using small tiles, you can create an illusion of much more open space. It’ll make you or your guests feel more comfortable instead of feeling cramped.

 

Color Makes a Huge Difference

It’s a fact that color can make a huge difference in design. Again, this ties in with the flow of the bathroom. Choosing a light, neutral color can reflect light much better. White, gray, or cream colors are clean and pleasing to the eye. Work with the light and apply these colors to your walls as well. Ceilings will instantly look higher using this technique.

If you desire to add a whisper of color, you may do so but keep it subtle. Powdery and creamy colors can be added in small doses to keep it modern. Too much can make it look outdated, no matter what color you choose. Remember to keep it minimalistic if you want to create an impactful yet open design.

 

Layout an Illusion

Since you’ve used colors and sizes to create an illusion, you can finalize the layout by creating a diagonal design. Laying the tiles flat and parallel can get boring and repetitive. It’ll make the small bathroom even smaller. But to simply trick the eye into seeing something that’s not there is easy. The eye will follow the diagonal lines you created.

To make your ceiling look higher, rectangular tiles can be installed vertically. This illusion makes the eye look towards the ceiling. When using rectangular tiles, don’t forget about using a light tile color to further solidify the open space look.

Use High-Quality Fixtures

You can go for the simple porcelain or ceramic fixture but if you want to create the look of a large bathroom, reflective surfaces such as polished stainless steel and metals are your choice. It’s reflective and it looks great with neutral colored tiles. However, it’s important to regularly clean them as it can look worn out over a period of time. Take your time and polish the fixtures as much as possible to maintain the reflective nature.
