Spring isn’t just the ideal time for spring cleaning it’s also an ideal time to brighten and freshen up your bathroom by choosing neutral or easy to coordinate tiles such as Grey bathroom floor tiles.

Grey bathroom tiles work well on floors and walls and in both large and small areas and they allow for various complimentary colours to be used throughout.

Different shades of Blue

Grey or silver towels hanging on some silver hooks would look great alongside some blue hand towels and flannels to provide some colour. Why not invest in a shower curtain that is striped and contains both grey and blue shades. 

You can also spruce up your bathroom and make it look more homely by adding some features such as blue coloured candles on silver dishes, pictures that uses blue in the piece.

Black and white

Decorating around grey floor tiles helps create a bold and modern feel by sticking to black and white for decorating purposes. On top of the grey tile floor, why not place a soft and comfortable black mat or black and white prints bath mats as they will match nicely with the grey. 

Buy some new towels in shades of black, white and grey. You can also add accessories such as soap dishes and toothbrush holders. 

A simple black and white photograph, framed in a silver, black or white frame provides the perfect finish to your bathroom.

Green

On top of the grey tile, use a darker shade of sage green for the rug. You can brighten up your bathroom with sage green items such as towels, shower curtains and even window curtains or blinds.

Creating a little glamour and elegance in your home on a low budget can be hard work and those little extras that finish off a room can soon add up. Nonetheless, there is a way you can spruce up your kitchen and bathroom without paying out for overpriced fixtures and decorations.

A design that is popular with many DIY lovers is the checkerboard tile effect. Using a mixture of two differently coloured wall tiles is an easy way to stray away from the monotony of the monotone wall.

Instead of using regular mosaic tiles to create a border, try using metallic mosaics and see what a difference it makes. The design will help you to create an expensive but relaxed looking kitchen on a minimal budget and will leave you with a space that is perfect for entertaining guests. 

There are some great mosaic tiles out there, from quirky circular shaped metallic wall tiles to exciting two-tone mosaics – so no matter what your preference, you can make sure your walls are shining.

Saving Money on Rental Properties with Cheap Wall Tiles

If you own or are considering buying a rental property, you’re probably looking for ways to save money wherever you can. Whether you rent out a single property or you have a fully-fledged rental agency, you’ll probably find that the cost of redecorating and maintain an excellent standard within the home can be time consuming and costly. 
Saving Money on Rental Properties with Cheap Wall Tiles

There are several ways to save money without compromising the quality but if your main focus is the kitchen or bathroom area, why not consider buying cheaper wall tiles?

The bathroom and kitchen are areas that both home owners and landlords alike find difficult to spruce up on a budget. Fixtures and fittings as well as basic appliances can rack up huge bills fast, so cheap wall tiles are a great way to stop the price of a room becoming unmanageable.

No matter who you are, renting out your property is a business and businesses need to be profitable. Using wall tiles that are lower in price doesn't always mean you’ll get an unattractive finish and most tenants aren't interested in high-end or designer tiles, so it pays to think more practically.

Cheaper wall tiles are generally porcelain or ceramic, whilst higher end tiles are often made from more extravagant materials such as marble and granite. It is common knowledge that ceramic and porcelain is resilient to everyday wear and tear and if extravagance isn't your priority, there’s no need to worry about the quality of your tiles because they’ll continue to last for years to come.

You may also be thrilled to know that cheap wall tiles do not only come in plain white or beige colours, so even if you’re interested in making your rental property stand out from the crowd, you can do it on a budget. Whether you’re looking to create a classic kitchen or a minimalist bathroom there’s such a wide array of cheap wall tiles that you’ll almost certainly be spoilt for choice.

Another great benefit of using cheap wall tiles in your rental property is down to the general cost of upkeep. All walls and floors need some kind of upkeep whether they’re painted, tiled or wood paneled but tiled walls are the easiest and often the cheapest to reinvigorate and restore. As long as wall tiles are laid correctly, they shouldn't need too much upkeep for the first few years. However, when they do start to look dull or tired a simple re-grout and clean-up will get those walls sparkling again – and that means there’s no costly paint jobs or difficult re paneling involved.


A clean looking property doesn't have to cost the earth and cheap wall tiles will ensure that your rental is snapped up quicker than you can say the word ceramic.

The bathroom is the most popular room in a domestic home to find tiles. This is due to the fact that they are hygienic and water resistant solutions compared to wallpaper, carpets and most paints.

Crown Tiles has a huge variety of stylish wall tiles to choose from featuring a variety of textures and styles to transform any bathroom.

If you are looking for something contemporary, classic and traditional, or experimenting with a unique design you can find bathroom wall tiles suitable for all tastes and requirements at a great competitive price.

The tiles specialists use high quality ceramics and stone to ensure tough, long-lasting tiles which will look great and will last for years.

Bathrooms need to be clean and hygienic, which makes tiles the ideal solution due to their ‘fresh’ appearance and easy to wipe surfaces, hygiene is one of the first things that come to mind when using tiles in the bathroom.

Light coloured bathroom tiles such as white and cream can also make your bathroom look bigger as they reflect the light more than darker colours. Using the same colour wall tiles as the floor tiles can also give your bathroom a spacious effect.

Fixtures and fittings in your bathroom can have an effect on what size of tiles you use. If there’s wall space between your shower and the toilet, small tiles will create a better flow than larger tiles. You might not be able to fit in many larger tiles without cutting them down.

Diagonal patterns can help to trick our brains into thinking that a space is bigger than it really is. This is due to the fact that when you look at normal squared tiles they’re easy to count, but when you tip them diagonally your eyes are drawn to the diagonal points while your brain has a lot more trouble figuring out the number of tiles on the wall.

When you’ve finally worked out the amount of tiles that you need to buy, make sure to add on extras to allow for breakages, cuttings, waste and pattern matching. You don’t want to be halfway through tiling your bathroom and realise that you don’t have enough to complete the job.
