A full-scale bathroom renovation can be a daunting prospect. From the flooring, to finding the most popular and trending designs, it can feel like a lot to take on. No matter how desperately it may be needed, it can easily be a project that is procrastinated for months, or even years.

Thankfully, you’ve come to the right place! If you’re reading this, chances are you are in the midst of planning a facelift for your bathroom or already knee-deep in the project. If you are willing to spend your valuable time and money, then you deserve to know all of the tips and tricks to have it done right, and to have it looking absolutely stunning when it’s finished! 

DO: Pay Keen Attention to Tile Design

While scouring Google for popular bathroom  tile trends is a good starting point, it may leave you with a generic feel. It can be tempting to follow the crowd, opting for  choices like white subway tiles or grey marble-look tiles. While these are tried and true styles, and are certainly  not a wrong way to go, it would be fun to infuse some personality by adding a pop of colour and explore unique and trending tile ideas.

DON'T: Use Cheap, Non-Durable Flooring

Luxury-Vinyl products (LVT) might seem like a cheap, labour-friendly substitute to others , but they fall short in durability, especially in a bathroom setting. They aren't truly waterproof and are prone to scratches from pets and other everyday traffic.

For a truly long-lasting product that has functional and aesthetic benefits, we always recommend using tile. If you are set on the wood-look, our range of wood-look porcelain tiles gives you the authentic wood aesthetic, and the durability that LVT just cannot offer.

DO: Heat Your Floors

Consider heated flooring beneath your tiles for a touch of luxury. Whether it be in your ensuite, basement, or main floor, the comfort of a warm and cozy floor is unparalleled, especially during the chilly winter months. With the convenience of linking thermostat settings to your phone, you can ensure that a nice and warm floor will always be waiting for you when you arrive home.

DON'T: Hire Just Anyone to Do the Job

Who you hire to do your renovations can make all the difference. We always stress to our customers the importance of making sure your tile-setter/contractor is reputable, has references, and has all of the necessary documentation prior to hiring them.
