In the principal bath there are big plain white glossy tiles with glass tile accents on the walls and black porcelain tiles that are dusted with silver from campani on the floors.
Matt or gloss tiles for bathroom wall.
The choice you make will depend on your personal preference and the type of bathroom you are aiming to create.
Matte finish tiles can be placed in larger bathrooms where there is enough natural light streaming in.
Matt tiles are preferred as floor tiles because they do not present the same slip and fall factor that comes with gloss tiles.
Gloss tiles tend to be shiny and reflective of light with matt tiles being dull in comparison.
Once again the non reflective slightly dulled appearance is the result of a finishing glaze.
Although matt tiles are a popular choice for the floor of your bathroom you can use these tiles on the walls too.
For high traffic spaces that are in frequent contact with water humidity and steam matt tiles offer a more non slip reputation.
The basic reason for this is 1.
Matt tiles are generally non slip and in a water based room slipping is a real concern and 2.
Gloss white tiles feel brand new and make a room feel bigger.
The tiles are beautiful and the black floor tiles are great but every single water spot shows on the white glossy wall tiles and the glass shower doors.
Spaces such as hallways kitchens and bathrooms will all benefit from matt tiles.
If you have insufficient light gloss tiles have the ability to bounce off the light from its surface creating a bright and welcoming environment in the room.
It gives the same effect as that of a mirror in a room.
