6 Rules to Follow When Mixing & Matching Bathroom Tiles



When you’re undergoing a complete bath renovation, consider changing up the tiles. That way, you can improve the look as well as the return on investment that you can get from the bathroom remodel. When installing new tiles, it’s popular to mix and match them for a unique look. However, before you do so, keep in mind that there are a few rules to observe.

  1. Limit your color palette. If you’re trying to mix and match your bathroom tiles but your bathroom has a lot of different surfaces, experts suggest that you limit your color palette as much as possible. That way, you can minimize the competition between the tile patterns.
  2. Balance busy patterns. When trying to pick suitable tiles for your bathroom, bathroom remodelers advise you to consider small statement tiles to create a focal point on your bathroom’s backsplash or another small area of the room. Afterwards, you can combine them with large, plain tiles to avoid a design that is visually overwhelming.
  3. Use stone as a neutral material. Alternatively, if you plan to use floor-to-ceiling subway tiles in your bathroom, consider pairing them with natural gray stone. Doing this will soften the graphic grout lines that bind your tiles together while still creating a cohesive design. 
  4. Juxtapose matte with glossy. On the other hand, if you plan to use tiles that are similar in size, don’t hesitate to combine matte tiles with glossy ones. That way, there’ll be a slight amount of contrast between the two materials that will create a pleasing look in your bathroom.
  5. Combine matte finishes. If your bathroom has exposed brick or plain painted walls, the designers at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Central Texas suggest that you choose two types of matte tile for your bathroom so you can break up the large areas and improve your bathroom’s visual appeal.
  6. Be consistent with your pattern. Finally, if you intend to use tiles of different sizes and colors, make it a point to be consistent with shape to create a harmonious effect in the bathroom.
