If you’re starting a new bathroom reno — and don’t have a huge budget — where do you start when it comes to tiles? You want a tile that looks luxe (ideally without the luxe price tag) but also fits in with your overall design. Crucially, you want bathroom tiles that you love not just today, but in the future, too. Because, as well all know, once a tile is fitted, it’s not budging for a good long while.
"Remember that bathrooms can’t always be easily pulled out and remodelled with minimal disruption as tiles are fixed using strong adhesives," says Joel Fry, designer at West One Bathrooms. "Try to make decisions based on the fact that you have to love this space for years to come." Luckily, you don’t need a huge tiling budget to create a bathroom that looks expensive. "An expensive-looking bathroom is rarely about choosing the most expensive tile," says Grazzie Wilson, head of creative at Ca’ Pietra. "It’s about choosing the right tile, using it well, and giving the whole scheme a sense of ease."
