Unless you’re planning a wet area in your bathroom, then you don’t need to cover every inch of space with tiles. Tiling only a portion of the space will cut down the costs for both labour and materials.
There is a level of flexibility that comes with only tiling a portion of the space too. For example, you could paint the rest of the walls which means if you change your mind in the future, the wall colour can be easily changed.
When deciding what tiles to go with, porcelain tiles should always be laid on the floor and subway tiles on the wall are always a timeless choice.
You don’t have to choose the most expensive materials on the market in order to get a beautiful bathroom. However, as your bathroom is a hot, steamy and small space, cheap products can wear very quickly in such humid conditions so its important not to compromise on the quality of your materials.

Opting for a good-quality LED lighting for your bathroom may cost you a touch more initially but not to worry you’ll make savings sooner than you think. LED lighting will last a lot longer, have a better environmental impact and will enhance the overall brightness of the room.
