Bathroom tiles: the different options

The choice of bathroom tiles not only dresses the walls but also creates a true atmosphere in your room. From classic subway tiles to zelliges or cement tiles, each option offers its own aesthetic and functional characteristics.

Good to know!

Do not mix porcelain stoneware tiles with bathroom ceramics! Indeed, this type of glazed tile is only surface-glazed and is more porous, thus more often used to dress the walls.

Graphic tiles

Nothing beats a graphic bathroom tile to add texture to neutral tones. Here, the gray tiles and the black fixtures are highlighted by the patterns of the tiles. An interesting idea when you want to give style without overdoing it!

Bathroom mirror: an essential accessory

There are also many choices when it comes to bathroom mirrors. Whether you opt for a lighted bathroom mirror or a classic model, each option can transform the look and functionality of your bathroom.

At what height should you install your bathroom mirror?

The answer is simple: it should be about 170 cm from the floor, or between 10 and 25 cm from your vanity. The highest point of the mirror should exceed the tallest person in the household by about 20 cm for comfortable use.

Bathroom lighting: the different possibilities

To refine the decoration of your bathroom down to the smallest details, we recommend playing with different types of lighting. On the ceiling, spotlights will provide the necessary brightness to the room. However, you can add a pendant light to add style to the room. Also, wall sconces can provide more diffused lighting around the mirror.

What IP rating for bathroom lights?

To ensure the protection of your lights against water splashes in areas up to 60 cm around the bathtub or shower, as well as on walls up to 2.25 m high, it is essential to choose lights with an IP44 rating.

Bathroom sconces

This wood and white bathroom reveals classic and timeless choices, highlighted by pretty details. For example, this pair of bathroom sconces, the only touch of black in this very soft decor. The marble countertop also adds texture to the whole.

Bathroom color: the most beautiful decor inspirations

The color of the bathroom plays an essential role in creating a harmonious and functional atmosphere. Neutral tones like white, beige, and gray offer a classic and timeless palette, visually enlarging the space and providing a sense of cleanliness and freshness.

In a completely different style, more vibrant colors like blue, green, or pink add a touch of dynamism and personality to the bathroom while creating a stimulating atmosphere.

A white bathroom

Classic and timeless, the white bathroom can reveal a beautiful personality if you play with certain details. Like here, with the herringbone pattern on the floor, and the large custom mirror on the wall.
