Many customers can be sceptical about using tiles in a bedroom, but when done right they can add style as well as practicality to one of the main rooms in your home. Not convinced? Read on to see the pros and cons of using tiles in a bedroom.
Should I Use Tiles In A Bedroom?
The cons of bedroom tiles
Cold
First things first, we’ll start with what you’re all thinking. Tiles in your bedroom will be cold.
We understand that no one wants stone cold floors under their feet first thing in the morning. But, this can be worked around.
Installing underfloor heating is a great, economic way to take the chill off your tiles in any room, especially your bedroom. Alternatively, layering your tiles with rugs is a fantastic way to take the chill off plus add texture and depth to your room.
Uninviting
Some think that tiles in a bedroom or living area can look cold and uninviting.
While we all have our own style preferences, opting for a tile with a warm, rich shade, such as Johnsons County Series Rustic Taupe Tiles can help create a welcoming, cosy environment.
Slip risk
As with tiles in any room, there is always a slight slip risk as opposed to using carpet. This can be a particular concern if you are using tiles in children’s rooms, especially as tiles are a hard surface when those trips and falls inevitably happen.
Again, layering with a rug can be a great way to soften the surface and those bumps.
The pros of bedroom tiles
A design staple
Whether you prefer a traditional or contemporary style, one thing is for sure, tiles are always on-trend.
Tiles such as Azteca Smart Lux Black Tiles create a real style statement thanks to their large format design and subtle sparkly detail. Their black style is sure to remain on-trend for years to come while their lappato finish helps to reflect light creating the illusion of space in your bedroom.
Easy to clean
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are incredibly easy to clean, needing little in the way of maintenance. And, unlike carpets, any spills and stains can be much easier to remove from tiled floors. So, opt for tiling in your bedroom and you can spend more time relaxing and less time cleaning.
Durable
Whether you’re rushing to get ready for work, getting all glammed up at the weekend or unwinding after a long, hard day, our bedrooms are some of the busiest rooms in our homes. Therefore, they need a durable flooring choice.
Made from ceramic, porcelain or natural stone, tiles are considerably more durable than either wooden flooring or carpet. While we’d still recommend treating your tiles with care, they are a durable choice ideal for any area of the home.
Tiles can also be handy if you have an ensuite bathroom as any splashes of water from the bathroom can be easily wiped up on your water-resistant porcelain or ceramic tiles. Using tiles would also produce continuity between your bathroom and bedroom, expanding the spaces as well as creating seamless style.
Cost-effective
If you’re wanting to cut the cost of your bedroom revamp then tiles are the one for you.
Often cheaper than wooden flooring and carpet, tiles can significantly cut the cost of rolling out new flooring. Meanwhile, thanks to their durability and timeless style you can get longer out of your tiled floor than other flooring options.
Wood Effect Tiles are a particularly good choice here as their wood effect markings and plank format resemble real wood but their porcelain material is considerably more hardwearing and can be far cheaper than the real thing.
Using tiles in a bedroom can be a great choice for maximising on style and practicality while minimising cleaning and expense. Why not order a free tile sample from us to see how tiles would look in your bedroom?
