How to clean my bathroom matt floor tiles?
Hi everyone, We are currently redecorating our bathroom and we decided to go for a Matt finish ceramic tile (photo below). We fell in love with the style but now I'm wondering how to maintain those tiles looking good. I've got two little ones at home, one of them still to be potty trained so I'm getting a bit nervous about it but I'm sure there's an easy way of looking after them?! We won't change our mind though. ;-) On another note, we want to use some metro gloss tiles on the wall but we are unsure if we should use the mini ones (7.5cm x 15cm) or the normal size ones (10cmx20cm). We live in a 1930's house so our bathroom isn't massive and the tiles won't be covering all the walls. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot! :-)

Hate the bathroom floor tile - what's a girl to do?
Comments (0)Entire modern large apartment needs a refurb. I am looking into what can be retained, to keep spending down. For a small family/ guest bathroom, I will replace sanitary ware in the same position. I hate the wall and floor tiles. They certainly cannot both stay as they clash. The walls have an Imperial equivalent of a 20x20cm matt beige/ tan tile with white grouting. I dislike it but at least the colour and matt finish are quite neutral. The floor has an Indian green marble tile, which I am told is very expensive, but I loathe. Removing tiles is noisy and disruptive as well as expensive. Should I try a honed finish on the floor tiles (a bit less disruptive) and choose a paint and back painted glass option for the walls that would better match the green? Busy marble is not my natural style, but sometimes one achieves a surprising success by work around feature you wouldn't choose. If this option, suggestions for colours appreciated. Looking at the Little Green colour chart - or any other. Or should I live with the beige/ tan wall tiles and get rid of the floor? Or get rid of both? My taste is quite minimalist and calming, with touches of accents....See MoreBathroom floors - porcelain floor tiles or vinyl floor tiles?
Comments (18)Porcelain is a tough tile which will not crack or break easily. they are very long lasting. vinyl is out dated and just doesn't look good. Your other option should be ceramic tiles. So it should be between ceramic and porcelain. I'd still recommend porcelain but ceramic is cheaper, that's the biggest advantage of ceramic. I bought these porcelain tiles two weeks ago, they look lovely. beautiful hexagon porcelain tiles...See MoreCream matt tiles in bathroom - how can I improve the look?
Comments (2)Hi JJ, If you can attach a couple of photos we can certainly cast our design eye over it! As mentioned above, I think the way to go is accessorising! Any newly tiled bathroom will require accessories for that last 'homely' touch :) - Adam...See MoreGloss or Matt bathroom floor tiles
Comments (3)I would also go for matt floor tiles. Glossy floor tiles can be slippery and also show water marks/dirt more than a matt tile....See More
