Tile on the wall in the bathroom
The finishing of the bathroom with tiles begins with an analysis of the area of the room, as well as the desired effect, which is expected to result in the end. Now four main types of wall tiles are used: on the basis of ceramics, glass tiles, plastic with imitation of tile masonry, as well as tiles made of natural or artificial stone .
Ceramic tiles are the most common and budget option. In stores you can find samples with a variety of sizes, shapes, as well as patterns and colors. The current trend in the design of such a tile is the tendency to use non-standard geometric shapes. That is, if before tiles were produced, mostly in the form of squares or rectangles, now you can find six and octagonal tiles, as well as options with rounded corners.
