Look for the right colour
You need to coordinate the floor tile colour with your room. Consider the furniture and the theme of the space. Ensure that your floor tiles complement the entire room scheme. Floor tiles can last several years, so it is best to opt for neutral colours because they will stand the test of time. Also, think about whether you need glossy tiles that reflect the light.
Consider size and pattern
Floor tiles can be fixed on the floor in several ways, such as brick-bonded or standard fixing. Therefore, you must also consider how to fix a specific tile on your floor. Most tiles come in various sizes and have a modular pattern to follow while installing.
The tile size decides how many grout lines are visible on the floor. Fewer grout lines can give the illusion of having more space, which is ideal for small spaces.
Decide between porcelain or ceramic
Porcelain tiles are more durable than ceramic ones because they are denser. This is why they are also suitable for outdoor usage, as they don’t absorb water that can crack and freeze tiles. But it depends on the usage or traffic of the floor, whether ceramic or porcelain will go well for the floor.
Ceramic tiles are graded, which is why they are best for commercial or domestic use. If you are tiling the kitchen, ceramic tiles are best. But porcelain tile will be appropriate if you are looking for tiles for your garage or outdoors.
