Tile
Choosing a finish design with Internet access today is easy. The use of decorative coatings in the interior is illustrated by many photographs. It is enough to type in the search engine “tile in the toilet photo in a modern style” or “tile diagonally on the floor of the photo”, and the pictures will appear on the screen. But, unfortunately, often of inadequate quality and not relevant to the search query. Therefore, using photo collections to evaluate ideas is much more convenient.
Tile
In the photo of the decoration with tiled or ceramic tiles in the premises, the regularities of the influence of color and pattern of the material on the perception of space are clearly visible. Dark shades visually reduce the room, light shades increase. Visually make higher ceilings help vertical drawings. Tiled flooring is democratic, more durable and wear-resistant porcelain stoneware and clinker will cost more.
Mosaic tile
Mosaic is made:
- ceramic
- glass
- smalt
- stone
- metal
- wooden.
Regardless of the material, the mosaic is sold in bulk, in separate pieces, or fastened with a base. If the attachment is below, it is a metal mesh, which will then be covered by the solution; if above, it is a paper sheet that is removed after installation. The standard rib of the element ranges from 10-50 mm. Moreover, these are not necessarily squares, there are also rectangular, and in the form of rhombuses and circles parts. As you can see in the photo with mosaic tiles, it’s not difficult to find the right one for different design styles, and the material is strong and durable. But because of the high cost, the mosaic is not chosen so often.
Bathroom tile
Tile decoration is a classic bathroom design. Photos of designs on thematic resources are full of fashion trends, unexpected color combinations. But the ageless classic does not lose ground, so there are a lot of variations of the traditional tiled decor in neutral colors. For example, while remaining committed to a discreet palette, experiment with tile size or styling. To get acquainted with the photo and choose a design for finishing the bathtub with tiles is the first step. The next step is to choose the material (thickness and strength).
Wall mosaic tile
Do not get confused when choosing this popular finishing material will help the exclusion method. First choose a tile: glazed or without enamel. If enameled tile is chosen, we are interested in the number of firing. With double firing, the base is fired separately, and then a second time after applying the glaze at a lower temperature. The tile for the bathroom as in the photo turns out brighter, with rich colors. Suitable for decorating walls, but for the floor is considered fragile. In the case of single firing, raw clay is coated with enamel and they end up in the oven at the same time. Partial loss in appearance is offset by greater strength. Therefore, such tiles can be laid fearlessly on the floor and on the walls.
Tile for a small bathroom
The main requirement for the design of the decoration of small rooms is a visual expansion of the space. And the bath is not an exception to the rule, and the same techniques are true for this room as for others. Mirrors, uniform distribution of light and hidden storage, freeing surfaces, will help to visually increase the room. But tiles for a small bathroom, examples of which are located below, need a special one. Firstly, we prefer light colors - white, beige and pastel. Secondly, the smaller the size of the tiles, the larger the wall appears on which the elements are laid.Mosaic is a prime example. And finally, a small repeating pattern also works for visual magnification.
Ceramic tile for bathroom
When choosing ceramic tiles for the bathroom on the Internet, buyers are guided mainly by photos and prices. But in sensible online stores, sellers place a complete list of material characteristics on product cards. In a physical store we study product labeling on the packaging. Before buying, we are interested in the following indicators: wear resistance class, resistance to chemicals and the amount of firing.
Tile in the toilet, design
Photos of the toilet designs in the apartment with tiles, which are placed below, will help you choose the appropriate option from the proposed ones. Or they will submit an idea for their own design project for the design of the bathroom. This is the smallest room in the house. Using any techniques to visually increase the space, except for finishing the toilet with the correct tiles, is unlikely to work. Photos of tiles for a small toilet are presented in this collection to simplify the task of competent design.
Kitchen tile
In the kitchen in Khrushchev, as a rule, you have to fight by selecting tiles with the same problem. Choose a mosaic or tile of light tones to visually mask the lack of space. There are more kitchens in the apartments of the old foundation and new buildings, so the wishes of the tenants for the design come to the fore. The tiles for the kitchen in the photo below are examples of design decisions and combinations.
Tiles on the kitchen floor
Let's figure out what requirements floor tiles for the kitchen should meet. The photos illustrate the effectiveness of the selected material, but first you have to understand the operational characteristics. The strength and durability of tiles on the floor in the kitchen come to the fore. Photos, unfortunately, do not transmit this information, but reflect the nature of the surface. Smooth for the kitchen floor is unsafe, there are often dripping and spilling liquids. Choose a rough and embossed one that you won’t slip on.
Tiles in the kitchen on the walls
Photo of tile designs in the kitchen is one of the popular requests of users who are in search of decorating ideas.

Tile apron for the kitchen
The portion of the kitchen wall between the wall cabinets and the surface of the worktop is often subject to contamination. Therefore, it needs competent design. A practical solution is an apron for a kitchen made of tiles. Photos of designs illustrate that almost all interior styles harmoniously fit tiled elements.
Tile in the hallway
Tiles in the corridor on the floor, as in the photo below, are more likely to be the exception than the rule. For the corridor, parquet, laminate or linoleum are more often chosen. But in terms of durability, these coatings are difficult to compete with floor tiles in the corridor. Photos of designs are often met with a predominance of dark tones, but this is not practical - the settling dust and small scratches on a dark background are immediately visible.
Tile in the hallway on the floor
In the hallway in the wet and cold season, we get from the street in wet shoes. Consequently, two key requirements are presented to the tiles in the hallway on the floor, as in the photo below. The first is to protect from falls and injuries, which means slippery smooth will not work. The second is to conceal stains and dirt, if possible, which means that light monophonic floor tiles are also not for the entrance hall. Photos of interiors with tiled decoration of the halls indicate that a popular combination for this room is a relief surface and abstract patterns. Choose a tile design on the floor from our selection of photos and be inspired to create an interior hallway.
Tile in the hallway on the wall

Tile in the living room on the floor
It’s more common to see parquet or carpet on the living room floor than tiles. Photos from the collection prove that this stereotype is not justified, and design decisions using tiles or ceramics do not lose in appearance. The effect of surprise only adds points to the floor tiles in the interior of the living room. The photos below demonstrate the implementation options for such design projects.
