Did you know that with a few small adjustments with your tile flooring, it can actually make the room look a lot bigger? A lot of people don’t realize this and that is why I want to show you how you can use your time to make a room feel bigger.
The problem that many people have with tile is that they look at the price before anything else and when you do this you overlook some of the most basic things. I know that the price is going to be a big part of the overall purchase but my advice is to not make it the center of your purchase. Trust me, having great looking tile that makes your room look bigger will trump cheap tile any day.
Tricks To Make A Room Look Bigger
Use Larger Tiles – One of the things that you probably already know about is using bigger tiles. The reason why you should use bigger tiles is because then you will have less lines and the less lines you have the bigger the room will look. My advice is to stick with tiles above 12 inches and if you can use ones that are bigger than 16 inches.
White Grout – Using a lighter grout like white is great for making the room feel more open which makes it feel bigger. What I love about white grout is that it will match with any color tile. The reason you need to use white is because the lighter your floor looks, the bigger the room will look.
Small lines – Something that I do with all of the houses I do tile work for is use small lines in between the tiles. A lot of people like using bigger grout lines so they don’t have to use as many tiles but I recommend using small lines because of what it does to the feel of a room. If you want a bigger line I would use a 3/8 but I would highly recommend that you use a 1/8 inch line. The reason I like this size is because it makes everything look nice and clean.
Diagonal lines – Now something that many people do for the design effect is use diagonal lines but this also works to make the room look bigger. If you don’t have a very big room then the diagonal lines will take people’s sight off of the walls and make them look at the floors. If you don’t think this will work then just look at some floors that use this technique and the ask yourself how the room feels.
All it takes is a few of these tips to make your room look a lot bigger. Just remember that you have to buy the right floor tile as well and remember that sometimes buying the cheapest tile flooring does work just as well as the more expensive stuff.
