Smaller Rooms: Bathroom and Laundry Room
For smaller spaces like bathrooms and laundry rooms, smaller tiles are generally recommended. They can be fitted around fixtures and appliances more easily, reducing the need for extensive tile cutting. Popular options include marble or marble-inspired tiles, mosaic tiles, monochromatic tiles, and subway tiles.

However, larger tiles like large format tiles can also work well in smaller rooms because they have fewer grout lines, creating the illusion of a larger space.
When choosing bathroom tiles, prioritize slip-resistant options that are easy to clean.

The Kitchen: The Heart of the Home
In larger rooms and open spaces, large format tiles can be the perfect choice. They create a uniform flooring and are becoming increasingly popular in open plan kitchens and living rooms. Large tiles offer a contemporary, hard-wearing feel, and slip-resistant tiles are recommended for the kitchen since it is a wet area.

Hallways: Making a Great First Impression
Hallways are often the first area guests see, so it’s important to make a lasting impression. Hallways need to be welcoming and attractive but also hard-wearing, as they endure a lot of foot traffic.
Ceramic tiles are a great choice because they are easy to clean and come in various bright colors and patterns.
Alternatively, large format tiles in neutral colors can create a simple, easy-to-clean look.
Decorative tiles are another popular option, adding a trendy touch to your hallway.
The choice depends on your style and whether you want a cohesive look throughout your home or different styles in each room.

Outdoor: Extend Your Living Space
Let’s take this conversation outside. Slip-resistant porcelain and ceramic tiles are ideal for outdoor areas because they are moisture and water-resistant. Porcelain tiles are particularly suitable for outdoor use due to their higher water resistance. A matte glazed finish can offer even more slip resistance.

Wood-look tiles are another excellent option for the outdoors if you prefer the look of a wooden deck but without the maintenance required with real wood decking.
