Remodeling a bathroom can be one of the most satisfying home remodeling projects, partly due to a faster turnaround than other remodeling jobs. Yet many homeowners don’t think that the floor they choose is that important to the design. The right bathroom floor can add a new level of elegance. A change in flooring gives a room new life. The right tile can make your bathroom brighter, roomier, and safer. Before you speak with your contractor, let’s look at some options that can help your bathroom look its best.
Tile Style for a Unique Bathroom Floor
Standard tile sizes are around 2 inches wide, or larger, and come in a square shape. These days, more manufacturers are looking at a variety of shapes and styles. Adding a bit of style to your bathroom can be as simple as employing one of these shapes:
- Arabesque
- Fan
- Lantern
- Wave
- Hexagon
- Oval
- Diamond
- Round
A simple change to the style of your floor’s tile can add class and change the bathroom’s atmosphere. Aside from unconventional tile shapes, there are other styles to consider. Graphics are a big bathroom trend for 2020 and add a new level of bathroom elegance. Homeowners can choose from graphics or mosaics, to solid hues, making a big statement with bathroom flooring.

Safety and Style Go Together
Slip resistant tiles are a necessity for some households. Homeowners and family members with mobility issues, or who are aging in place, need safer flooring options. Some slip resistant options can limit style and color choices, but you can also explore customization. When working with your contractor, there are a couple of ideas to consider; for example, consider a slip resistant treatment added to your tile of choice. Custom treatment can make shopping for tile easier, but it can increase the cost of your bathroom flooring due to extra supplies, tools, and labor. If you want to save money, you can find stylish slip resistant tiles that don’t need a treatment.
Timeless Trends Make Your Bathroom Floor Stand Out
Tile bathroom flooring is timeless, and the most waterproof and durable bathroom floor option. With larger sizes and a variety of shapes, you can combat the “traditional” look of tile and make it your own. The only other thing that stands in the way for some homeowners is that glossy look. Matte tiles are making a huge splash in the world and can give you the ease of tile without it looking like tile. No matter the color, it softens the room and can make it more relaxing. They give you plenty of room to play with graphics, solid colors, or mosaics without the distracting shine.
