Not sure how to combine tiles in showers? If you are renovating your bathroom, one of the first questions you may ask is which shower tiles to choose. The aesthetics and appearance of a space are increasingly important and are taken into account when designing it. Because a beautiful and well-kept bathroom will make us feel more comfortable and happy in it.
The shower as a key element in the bathroom
The shower is one of the essential elements of the bathroom and the home, and its importance has grown in recent decades as trends in architecture, construction and the decoration of this area of the home have evolved.
In the past, it was common to have a bathtub that occupied a large part of the usable space in the room. However, replacing the bathtub with a shower is becoming increasingly common thanks to its practicality and ability to adapt to all types of bathrooms.
What shower coverings should offer
Above all, a shower must be safe and functional. Essential for personal hygiene, it is one of the elements of the home that we use every day and must therefore meet high standards of safety and functionality.
For this reason, porcelain has become one of the most suitable materials for covering this specific area of the home. In addition to its high resistance, durability and impermeability, it can incorporate an anti-slip finish that helps prevent unnecessary accidents.
Our Neogrip finish ensures slip resistance in the shower, even when wet, and is available in numerous aesthetics and decorative designs to suit different styles.
In addition, our porcelain tiles help prevent the proliferation of mould or bacteria on their surface, ensuring hygiene in the area and making them an ideal choice for the shower.
Combinations for the shower area
Choosing the right combination of bathroom tiles and the shower area is not a complicated task. Simply define in advance the decorative style you want to apply and make sure it maintains a coherent relationship with the rest of the home. If we take the necessary time to plan the space, it will be easier to achieve a balanced result that meets our expectations.
How to combine tiles according to the type of shower
The choice depends on the dimensions, layout and prominence we want to give the shower area. In smaller spaces, continuity of tones and finishes helps avoid an overloaded feel. In long showers, highlighting the back wall helps visually balance the depth. When the area is large or integrated into the bathroom, contrasts, textures and decorative details can be introduced more freely.
Small shower
Long shower
Large shower
Integrated shower
What style do you have in mind for the shower area? Below, we present three options for creating uniform, contrasting or decorative spaces.
Visual continuity
The minimalist trend has also taken over the design of today’s bathrooms and showers. Within this approach, monochromatic and unified styles are gaining more followers every day.
When we talk about a uniform shower, we mean spaces that opt for the same appearance both outside and inside the shower, allowing its surfaces to work as a continuation of the rest of the space.
This trend works particularly well with natural-looking finishes and light tones, which also enhance a sense of calm and serenity.
Contrast in the shower
Another, much more creative option is to use coverings that differ from the rest of the space for the flooring and walls of the shower area.
Taking advantage of its characteristics and distinctive features, this option adds a note of contrast to the overall look and turns the shower into one of the main visual focal points.
This strategy can also be used when we only want to apply anti-slip flooring in the shower, allowing two different types of flooring to be used.
The degree of differentiation between the shower and the rest of the space will depend on the visual result we want to achieve.
At Porcelanite Dos we recommend our combined collectionswithin which we offer coordinated floor and wall coverings, which can be complemented with decorated options or other colour versions.
Decorative details
As a third option, we find purely decorative finishes, a classic resource in the design and decoration of the shower area.
When we refer to Decorative Tiles, we are referring to pieces with an extra dose of personality and design applied to a specific wall or surface.
This trend encompasses numerous variations and decorative options, resulting in unique spaces where creativity sets the limit.
At Porcelanite Dos, we offer a wide selection of decorative floor and wall coverings, striking reliefs and original combinations, making it easy to find the option in our catalogue that best suits your style.
