how do i break up the all white tile look in my small bathroom
Comments (7)I like timeless tile schemes also, like your all white...and have learned from experience and too much analyzation of inspiration images that texture and layers trump color for impact. Break your white up by using shadow as a color- variences in tile depth when trim pieces are added (chair rails, bullnose, baseboards...) break up the flatness of simple field tile. Adding a horizontal line with trim at a traditional or non-traditional height and/or changing the direction of the subway for some portion of the room- breaks it up and keeps your options open for adding color to less perminant layers in the room. Also, you're right on about adding a bit of color between the floor and walls- I don't think matching wall base tile to the floor border tile is the best solution...keep the plane-change-line sharp. If you use small hex for the floor, consider a contrast by inserting a grey hex every 1/2 foot or so (the wide-spread polka dot effect will open the area too)or add the grey hex as a 3-4" solid or checked floor border around the entire room. Since there will be little color contrast on the walls, a contrast where floor meets wall is warming because it grounds the room. This is fun, huh? kat...See MoreTile most of the bathroom or tile the entire bathroom?
Comments (17)Sumod- The medicine cabinets are simple wood frames with a cabinet-grade plywood back that just sit in the stud cavity. Because of the dimensions, the front of the frame projects about 1"+ beyond the finished wall. The medicine cabinet doors are also plywood with veneered edges and they are attached to the frame with standard cabinet hinges (Euro hinges). The mirrors are just 1/4" plate glass ordered to size from a glass shop and held in place with mirror mastic and a metal strip at the bottom that you don't really see. The guy who did the cabinets just made the medicine cabinets as part of the job. I don't know about the door brand...we live in a large metro area that has lots of door shops and the doors are just solid core maple doors with the center cut out and a maple panel held in with molding. They're not stained; they simply have a couple coats of clear spray lacquer....See Moretile layout of bathroom showr /corner tub
Comments (1)First, check the manufacturer's instructions for that line of tile. Large format tiles often have layout restrictions, ie, no 50% offset patterns allowed. Best bet? Graph paper. A scaled drawing. And bits of paper cut to scale to act as tiles. Mix and match until you see an economical layout that is aesthetically pleasing and also meets the offset restrictions for large format tile....See Moregrey grout colour with subway tile in bathroom
Comments (36)@Slough Shark we are just getting started with the master bath in our new (budget) build- although we have hired a reputable tiler to do the tile work. 4x16 white glossy subways for the shower walls and grey pebble mosaic for the shower floor. Bathroom floor tile is a dark grey and I am struggling to pick a grout for the floor tile. I want to use the same color for the mosaic and hexagon floor tile. Looks like your floors might be about the same color... could you post a pic of the floor tile? Im considering pewter or dove gray from custom building products. i am now debating choosing rolling fog instead of platinum for the subways after seeing your results!!...See MoreGN Builders L.L.C
