CHOOSING TILES: It's not set in stone!

The bathroom is filling up with tile samples. At the moment my favourite is the Moleanos Cream Limestone which has beautiful small fossil flecks throughout the creamy tile.

A tiled bathroom is probably one of the most 'permanent' rooms in your house, so it is important to pick your tiles with care: obtain as many samples as you can; place them around the bathroom so that they can be seen in the ever changing light to give you an idea of how the bathroom will appear in the morning, midday, afternoon and evening.  From my experience, tiles always look different and often brighter in the showroom from how they will look in your bathroom.  Live with your tile samples for a few days before starting the process of elimination.

  1. Was it the Antalya limestone in Topps?

  2. It was an Anatolian Ivory Travetine with a golden hue, but since then I've ordered a sample of the Supreme Ivory Light to see how it compares.
