The house was littered with tiles
and colour chips for weeks! |
Tiles! They are the one thing in a house that I struggle to make a decision about. They are tricky little numbers, because they always look different when they are laid. They look lighter laid horizontal vs vertical. They look lighter in a big space. They look darker if the entire room is tiled. And of course, it all depends on the natural light in the room. Arghhh. These are a few of the reasons I often choose timber and/or carpet! The other one is that they are so permanent. But, the bathrooms must be tiled, so I must grit my teeth and make a decision. Fortunately for me, my local tile store has angels working there, who patiently pull out tile after tile after tile. In the last month, I have taken home about 12 different tiles – seriously! But, I have decided on a white subway tile for the bathroom walls, a lovely grey limestone look lapatto for the floors and feature walls. Did I tell you I also had to choose the outdoor tile? This was a little easier, as I had my outdoor colours to guide me.

Price is also something that helps you whittle down your choices. I don’t know if this happens to you, but almost every outdoor tile I oooh and ahhh over is usually around double what our budget allows. Anyway, we have gone for a grey limestone look tile and an aqua pool tile. Can’t wait to see them laid!
