High-quality tiles add elegance and functionality to homes, and it's time to talk about which tile sizes are the best choices for specific rooms. Along with this practical advice, you'll find other design tips that make it easy to turn any residence into a showplace. 

Large Tiles Are Perfect for Living Rooms and Bedrooms

Large tiles are in scale with bigger rooms, making them ideal design elements for areas with more square footage. When you add large tiles, such as ceramic, glass, porcelain slabs, natural stone, or high-end vinyl, you'll find that they offer a smooth and contemporary look. 

With fewer grout lines interrupting the flow of space, a home or commercial interior seems bigger. For a shot of pure glamour, choose marble-look porcelain tiles in 24 x 24 squares. Larger Wayne Tile products are superb options for roomier spaces. 

For a living room or bedroom, white faux-Calacatta marble tiles with streaks of soft dove-gray (made from porcelain) will have a gorgeous gloss. This flooring will be the perfect underpinning for minimalist furnishings, such as oyster-white sectional sofas and wooden platform beds.

Small Tiles Are Ideal for Kitchens and Bathrooms

Small tiles are made for compact spaces, and they're especially perfect for kitchens and bathrooms, as their extra grout lines offer more grip. Smaller tiles are often rectangular (3 x 12 or 12 x 24), but other shapes and sizes are available. 

One way to add charm and warmth to a kitchen is to select small faux-wood ceramic or porcelain tiles. They'll be easier to maintain than genuine wood but look just like the real thing. If you choose a medium-brown finish, you'll get a sophisticated floor that has a touch of rustic charm. 

 

Wood-Look Porcelain and Ceramic Tiles Offer Benefits

Wood-look porcelain and ceramic tiles are: 

  • Durable 

  • Water-resistant 

  • Available in an array of faux styles and textures 

  • Extremely natural-looking 

As per tips from House Digest, these tiles are practical and attractive, meaning you won't have problems with water damage or scratches. Also, single tiles may be switched out if there's a problem, rather than full panels. 

Your smaller tiles will look gorgeous, especially when you add gray-green cabinets, a dark emerald backsplash made from hexagonal porcelain tiles, a white marble countertop, a brass faucet, and a modern glass pendant lamp. For a little shot of color, add a traditional area rug with a farmhouse feel, which has pops of garnet and topaz. 

All of these elements will make your kitchen a beautiful and inviting place without being too old-fashioned. If you like traditional style with a twist of modernity, this kitchen design plan will please. The gentle gray-green looks fabulous with a brighter backsplash in the same color family, and the pale countertop keeps the interior from looking too dark.
