Choosing White Bathroom Tile for your Home
Renovation
Your bathroom is one of the most important rooms in your
home in terms of increasing its real estate value. That means
that spending money renovating your bathroom is an excellent
investment if you are looking to improve your home. One of the
most basic renovations you can do on your bathroom is to
install new tile.
Although tile comes in a range of color and design patterns,
there is no better choice than white bathroom tile. Many real
estate agents suggest choosing white because it is considered a
traditional bathroom color that will appeal to all potential
buyers, regardless of their personal aesthetic tastes. White
tile is neutral and contrasts well with your bathroom
furniture, cabinetry, and other decor.
There are many choices available for high-quality white
bathroom tile. Ceramic tiles offer a good value, and are
durable and easy to handle. You may also choose a white or
light colored natural stone for a more classic look. Natural
stone is always an excellent choice for an upscale home.
Laminate and vinyl tiles are also available, which are
inexpensive and stain-resistant. Laminate is also easier to cut
than other types of tile, which is convenient for the
do-it-yourself home renovator. Many home buyers are attracted
to laminate tile because it is virtually maintenance free.
Not only does white bathroom tile make a good choice
aesthetically, but it also has the advantage of being easier to
clean than other colors of bathroom tile. White tile can be
bleached and sterilized without any fear of discoloration. As
an added bonus, potential home buyers are attracted to the pure
whiteness of tile because it looks hygienic.
It is always a good idea to enhance the decorative appeal of
white bathroom tiles by contrasting them with an ivory, cool
white, sandy, or other non-white grout color. Many people
instead choose the classic look of a dark or black grout with
white tiles. You can also consider the possibility of tinting
your grout yourself, which allows limitless color
possibilities. Grout tinting is as easy as mixing paint, and
the tint can be purchased inexpensively.
