how to choose the size of my tiles to combine functionality and aesthetics?

Deciding which tiles to install in your bathroom, hallway, kitchen, bedrooms, living room, and the outdoor patio is not an easy decision.
The commitment in time and investment to undertake it and therefore the complexity of changing it, are good reasons to choose the right style, and color but also the size of tiles most suitable to enhance your space.

To begin with, it’s all about individual taste.

The small format tiles would be perfect for you if you are a fan of revisiting classic designs. Our inventiveness and creativity in terms of materials and colors have given a new lease of life to this category of tiles, which is now experiencing a new success with the fashion for cement and patchwork tiles that tend to energize and boost the intimacy known in small spaces.

Their installation with aligned joints requires a lot of technicality for a perfect rendering with rigorously straight lines.

When laying square tiles with crossed joints, if it also requires the same rigor as the previous method, it allows a small margin of imperfection.

Standard tiles between 20 and 60 centimeters represent the best compromise between small and large formats and magically adapt to any space.

But for some time, the trend is clearly towards large format tiles that start from 60 cm to 120 cm

Large format tiles are designed for large spaces, bringing them a contemporary and dimensional feel.

In the case of rectangular tiles, you can opt for either crossed joints or an “L” shaped installation for a rather rustic result.

Aligned joints can be made on the walls.

They will dress your rooms without overloading them. Take into account that this size of tiles allows to absorb of slight imperfections. For a more contemporary and light result, the joints should be rather thin.

Large format tiles have fewer grout lines than smaller tiles, which visually lightens the space and gives the impression of a larger area.
The use of joints reduced to 2-3mm accentuates this feeling even more.
For wood flooring simulation, it is imperative to take into consideration the openings and locations of the windows in order to lay the tiles lengthwise, that is to say in the direction of the source of penetrating daylight.
