Bathroom remodel

What where your objectives when you chose the materials to be used for your floor or wall coverings?

My idea for the new bathroom was for a very simple and minimalist space with just two colours. Black and white design works very well in a small space. Indeed, white helps to visually enlarge the space, while black adds some character to the space. I also thought about adding some green to make it cosier, because black and white can be really cold.

What made you chose the Tonalite products?

I chose this Tonalite collection because it was exactly the tile I was looking for. In fact, for my project I wanted a tile with a very strong geometric effect, with a contrast between black and white, and also I was looking for an hexagonal one but in small size because my bathroom is quite small.

What colours and combinations did you chose and how did you use them?

We didn’t want to change the wall tiles, so I looked for some creative tiles for the floor. I looked for some 3d effect tiles in black and white, Examatt Tredi Grigio,  to add some pattern in the room, actually it is the only decorating element but a visually strong one. For the walls the idea was just to paint them with a specific varnish in polished white, to transform old pinkish tiles in new white ones.
