accent tiles are generally narrower, diamond shaped and come in
smaller sizes. You can create interesting bathroom floors by using
solid color ceramic bathroom floor tile for the bathroom flooring

ceramic tile color. You may choose blue, red or yellow grout with
white tiles. However, you will need to preserve the grout color by
applying sealers to grout lines, especially in areas that has
great traffic and heavy wear. If you want to incorporate your
favorite color in the bathroom design but are cautious not to
overdo it, you may add few decorative tiles of that color on the
walls or you can use tiles of that color placed diagonally to make
rows on the wall alternating with rows of tile colors in
complementing colors. You may also use tiles of different shapes,
textures and borders to add a bit of your favorite colors without
overdoing it. Tiles of all colors normally go well with white as
their contrasting color. Use plain backgrounds and add bright and
bold colored tiles with interesting shapes and graphics to give a
contemporary look and style to your bath space while you can add
modernistic accessories and fixtures to give it a high-tech look.

tiles in beige and white as they reflect light a lot. Serene
bathrooms or spa like bathrooms should use tiles in cool colors
such as blue, green and violet. Large bathrooms have the luxury to
use tiles in bright colors such as red or black that look dramatic
and absorb light. They also make the room look smaller. Ambient
lighting in bathrooms that have large windows and receive lot of
natural light can be achieved by installing tiles in darker
colors. If you want to use dark, bright or bold colors in smaller
or darker bathrooms, use them only as accent tiles or add
accessories in those colors. So, embark on bathroom floor tiling
