If you have ever spent a relaxing afternoon in a spa setting, you already know that it can be a calm and peaceful way to unwind. While daily trips to the spa are not in the budget for most people, you can still create a beautiful spa atmosphere in your own bathroom by using creative and pleasing tile designs.

Instead of basic solid white bathrooms, use these tips to create something unique and peaceful:

Glass Mosaic Tile

This is an easy way to instantly and affordably upgrade the look of your bathroom. Consider adding in these small and attractive tiles to areas below the sink, dotted on the walls, or anywhere else where a burst of color would be appropriate. The most calming colors tend to be blues and greens.

Colored Stripes

To instantly add class and elegance to a plain tiled shower, add in a single stripe of colored tiles at eye level or even waist height. This one extra strip will be only slightly more expensive than the plain tiles you use, and will immediately change the look and feel of your bathroom.

These two ways to use affordable, yet beautiful types of tile can help you transform your plain bathroom into a relaxing home spa. Choose from marble, ceramic, glass, slate, travertine and more when you shop at DirectBuy. You’ll find beautiful tile styles and designs, all at dealer pricing.

Redoing your bathroom floor tile is a great way to completely change the look and enhance the function of your bathroom without breaking the bank.

An Ideal Material for Floors

Tile is the perfect material for your bathroom floor because it does not retain moisture. It is quick drying and easy to clean. This is vital in a room that sees such a large volume of water usage each day.

Types of Tile

Vinyl and laminate tiles are extremely common for bathroom floors. Consider other options, such as mosaics, pebbled mosaics, glass accents, travertine tiles, and ceramic tiles to create a natural stone look while adding splashes of color and design. Walk on the wild side with color changing liquid lava tiles.

Bathroom Floor Tile Ideas

Longer tiles create the illusion of space; use long tiles to open up your bathroom. Handmade tiles possess a timeless and classy look that can go with any décor. Neutral tones are best for bathrooms; however, you can display your own aesthetic tastes and personal style through the use of various patterns and designs on the floor. Soft colors create a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere.

Remodeling your bathroom can be an expensive and time-consuming task. Consider updating your floor for a completely new look.
