Try to decorate your bathroom with wall tile
2009-02-27

If you would like to add a little design flare or a splash of color to your existing bathroom, decorative bathroom wall tiles may be just what you are looking for. Your work of art should begin with the main tile you intend to use, which should be made of porcelain, marble, ceramic or limestone.

For a really up to date look the tiles you select should be large - the four by four sized tiles, although once very trendy, are now outdated and considered to be old fashioned. By using a larger tile in a rectangle shape instead of a square you are given the opportunity to mix and match your tiles creating your own unique pattern. When the wall is completely tiled, you should then concentrate on the shower or vanity area, or the deck of your whirlpool tub.

While choosing the correct backing for your wall tile is important if you want it to last, the fun part of a bathroom tiling project is choosing the tile itself.Stone is also naturally water resistant and tough, both perfect qualities for shower wall tile. About the only drawback of stone as a wall tile is its weight, which can make installation tricky. Glass Tile is another excellent option when it comes to bathroom wall tile design. Glass tile comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors, so working with it can be a real design treat, especially if you're up for a challenge! As an added bonus, most glass tile comes from recycled materials, making it a "green" material as well.
