Bathroom Renovation Tips: Choosing the Perfect Tiles

Planning a Bathroom Renovation? Start with the Right Tiles

Renovating your bathroom is one of the most rewarding upgrades you can make to your home. But one of the most important (and often overwhelming) decisions is choosing the right tiles. At Top1 Tiling, we’ve helped homeowners across Victoria, AU transform outdated bathrooms into elegant, functional spaces — and it all starts with the perfect tile selection.

Here are our top expert tips to help you choose wisely:

1. Go for Slip-Resistant Tiles in Wet Areas

Safety should always come first, especially in a bathroom. Tiles with textured or matte finishes are less slippery, making them ideal for wet zones like the shower floor.

💡 Look for tiles rated with an R10 or higher slip resistance grade.

2. Choose the Right Size for Your Space

Large-format tiles can make a small bathroom feel more spacious, while mosaic tiles work well in tight corners or as eye-catching borders.

• Small bathrooms: Consider light-coloured, large tiles to open up the space.
• Large bathrooms: Mix and match textures and sizes for added character.

3. Match the Tile Style to Your Home Aesthetic

Do you want a modern, minimalist vibe or a rustic, heritage look? Tiles come in a wide variety of styles:

• Porcelain: Durable and water-resistant — great for any bathroom.
• Ceramic: Affordable and stylish with a wide colour range.
• Natural stone: Adds luxury, but needs sealing and maintenance.

4. Don’t Overlook Grout Colour

Grout might seem like a small detail, but it can dramatically impact your bathroom’s overall appearance. A matching grout creates a seamless look, while contrasting grout highlights the tile pattern.

5. Consider Maintenance Needs

Glossy tiles are easy to wipe down but show water spots. Textured or matte finishes may hide dirt better but need deeper cleaning.

🧽 Ask the Top1 team for low-maintenance options that suit your lifestyle.

6. Use Feature Walls or Accents for Style

Want to elevate your design without going over budget? Use decorative tiles on a single wall or niche — it creates visual interest without overwhelming the space.
