It’s easy to get lost in the abundance of finishing materials, especially if you haven’t done any renovation work in your home for a long time.
And it's not just about the variety of colors and quality of materials. Some of the design depends on the size and shape.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told us what tiles to choose for an apartment during renovation.
There was a time when small tiles were in particular demand among the population.
But this is not the best choice, and there are reasons for that.
Reason #1
Small tiles create an unpleasant effect – they dazzle the eyes. And the more of them there are, the stronger this impression is.
Reason #2
The next unpleasant moment is that the abundance of small details distorts the perception of space, or, to put it simply, the room will seem smaller than it actually is.
This problem is especially relevant for residents of Khrushchev-era buildings and other small-sized premises.
Reason #3
The next point is purely everyday.
The abundance of small tiles creates an abundance of joints or seams. All this complicates cleaning, especially if the seams are white or light.
As for large tiles, there are only advantages here. The room looks more harmonious, and the process of repair or cleaning is more fun.
