With all the different shapes, colours, textures, finishes and combinations available, it can be hard to make a decision when choosing tiles and mosaics! But taking some time to look at the possibilities is very important. These choices determine the entire look and atmosphere of your bathroom.
#Stone Lovers
Don’t get overwhelmed by choice, though - browsing the options can be a lot of fun! To help you in your approach, here’s some inspiration:
Luxurious style
Mosaics add the ultimate luxurious touch to your bathroom refurbishment. It can make a bathroom look completely different: more sophisticated, more chic and more distinguished.
You simply have to find a sumptuous colour that matches the rest of the bathroom. If you’re aiming for that luxury look, gold, silver, and copper are great choices. Textures are also important to add some details and make the bathroom look even more elegant.

Japanese style
Japanese bathrooms have this amazing zen atmosphere which makes us feel instantly relaxed. The relaxing impression may come from the delicacy of the decor, or the soothing regularity of the forms, but, wherever it comes from, we appreciate the feeling!
It isn’t actually that hard to incorporate a little bit of that zen vibe into your bathroom.

Art Deco style
Imagine that instead of you entering your bathroom, you’re transported the mansion of the Great Gatsby! The Art Deco style harkens back to in the 1920s, but it’s a really timeless style. The symmetry, the colours and the materials are just adored by everyone! Be bold and try this look to make you feel like packing up and moving to Miami Beach.

Jewel Lovers
The best jewellery has the biggest rocks… Imagine these stones on the walls of your bathroom. As the material is really precious, it is not recommended that you use these tiles on wet surfaces or where the steam could damage them, but you could use them to make your cloakroom magnificent!

The delicacy of British traditional taste can be easily incorporated.

Industrial style
To give your bathroom an industrial-style finish, you can use common dark grey tiles for that ‘concrete’ look.

This look gives a lot of scope to play around with colours!

Pastel lovers
If you’re a colour lover, but don’t want to be too bold, you can use soft and calming colours such as pastels. These will give you that splash of colour while keeping things relaxing. If you want to be a bit bolder, you can play with shapes or looks. For example, mixing up more traditional and vintage tiles can really add something to a pastel bathroom.

Geometric style
If you like it when everything is well organised and clean, with nothing out of line, then the geometric style is probably best for you. It not only gives the bathroom a structured allure, but the fact that everything is perfectly aligned, symmetric and geometric also has a very pleasing, calming effect.
