“I am tiling a small room so I will need to use small tiles”
Oops! Wrong – this misconception occurs very often.
UK bathrooms are not huge, so bigger tiles make these rooms feel larger and more opulent. Taking a bath can be viewed as a leisure activity so we should all be spoiling ourselves in our important leisure time.
Dare to be a bit different and use big SQUARE tiles on the walls instead of OBLONGS – just because we are used to seeing oblongs doesn’t mean that squares won’t look funky and modern.
Large floor areas in kitchen/dining rooms or conservatories are particularly suitable for bigger tile formats such as 600x600, 800x800. 600x120 and 120 by 120 are all available nowadays for a real WOW factor.

Oops! Wrong – this misconception occurs very often.
- Larger tiles create a feeling of space
- Large tiles mean fewer grout joints and in your mind's eye, this pushes the opposing walls, the floor and the ceiling away from each other
- Practical tip - Large tiles in a shower area means it will be easier to clean because there are less grout joints to get dirty
