How Tile Size Can Influence the Perception of a Room

The tile sizes of your floor and wall tiles may significantly change the appearance of any room. Small rooms may be made to look rather expansive with the correct floor tile sizes, while huge rooms can be made to feel cosier. In this aspect, flooring tiles are extremely handy.

How large tiles make small spaces seem bigger

Since larger tiles occupy more space, the room will appear much more open since other elements, such as your furniture and fixtures, will appear more dispersed. Because they draw attention to the vast size of the tiles and the area they cover, the grout lines between the tiles also contribute to the feeling of space.

Additionally, keep in mind that huge tile sizes should not be used in small rooms, such as bathrooms because there is not enough area for the large tiles to be arranged in such a manner as to provide the desired aesthetic impression in these rooms. So keep that in mind as you select the sizes of your floor tiles.

Tile colour

It is a common practice to paint walls and ceilings the same colour because that makes rooms appear larger and airier. This monochromatic approach to making a space appear bigger extends to tiles as well. If you want the room to appear larger, the floor tile or wall tile colour should ideally either be the same colour as the wall and ceiling or a similar colour that blends well into them. If you wish to make the room appear smaller, choose floor or wall tiles that are in contrast to the colour of your walls and ceiling. The design of the tiles is also a factor in the perception of installing the tiles, there are various wall tiles designs, and floor tile designs available.
