Bright colours, pastel shades, intricate patterns, inlay work and many other types have ruled the tiling industry for specific periods of time. The one pattern that has never lost its glory is the classic Black and white combination of bathroom tiles. Black and white tiles come in many interesting geometrical shapes like the hexagon, octagon, traditional square and rectangle. These colours create interesting patterns like the herring bone, checkerboard, pinwheel, basket weave and many others. Whatever pattern you choose, these tiles look stunning on any bathroom floor. Choose the classic colours for a timeless decor and striking interiors.
In the earlier years, the black and white tiles had a flat surface unlike the modern pillowed effect. If you want the same kind of Victorian decor in your home, you can opt for the flat surface and create a stunning classic interior with authentic finishes. Use these in small sizes for an antique outlook. Small tiles give greater grip, but have more grout lines, which means more cleaning. Seal them properly to reduce your cleaning work. White is considered a standard choice when it comes to the construction of modern bathrooms. One major advantage of using black and white or ebony and ivory is that this classic combination will never go out of style. They give a crisp and clean look, and enhance the value of your home during a resale. They are affordable and are found easily in any local tile stores. Use them in different laying patterns on the floors of the bathrooms for unique effects. Let us now look at a few types of patterns using these two colours.
Use the original hexagonal tiles in these contrasting colours on the floors and match them with black cabinetry. Wall in neutral colours will stress on the colours of the floor. A white trim on the edges can brighten up the whole space.
Use of mosaic black and white tiles on the floors creates an interesting floor. Match these with white coloured sinks and ebony trims.
For a contemporary design, use more white tiles with small dots of black. Match them with plain coloured sinks and wall tiles.
Surround the tubs with floors tiles of this classic combination and add a slim pencil border to add some effect. Continue the same pattern all over the bathroom and add matching linen.
