Any home décor enthusiast will think about remodelling and assembling new designs and patterns in their kitchens and bathrooms. Because, trust me, working in an up to the class kitchen, and relaxing in a luxurious bathroom is an absolute solace. But do you only need to spend lots of money to make them beautiful and luxurious? Not all the time. You need a brain, which knows the designs and patterns to make a bathroom or kitchen look perfect. 
Tips On Using Wall Tiles in A Kitchen and Bathroom: 
Follow the following tips to use wall tiles for the kitchen and bathroom. 
1.      Pick the Right Tiles: 
When talking about the tiles for the kitchen and bathroom, you have to bear in mind that they are the most used places in a house. Also, their walls are exposed to excessive water and debris. ...
... Therefore, you have to make a wise choice of using the right colour and material for bathroom wall tiles. Make sure you pick water-resistant and non-porous tiles that give you long-lasting life and remain good looking forever. Choosing black or grey kitchen wall tiles or bathroom wall tiles is one of the best decisions. Also, you have to make sure that you pick tiles, which are water impermissible, like porcelain. 
2.      Make Grout Less Visible:
Once you decide on the tiles selection you must install them in a way that they look perfect. And you must know the visibility of grout lines is inversely proportional to the appeal of tiles. It means that the thicker the grout line, the worse will be its appeal. You can also use the grout line creatively by colouring it in the colour of the tiles or choosing tiles in the grout colour. Also, thick grout lines are difficult to clean, so make sure it is as thin as possible so that you can easily clean them up in your bathroom or kitchen. 
3.      Maintain the Order: 
Make sure that the installation of tiles is in synchrony. One portion of the tile design must not deviate from the design of the other. Also, you must sustain the symmetry along all the walls as it pleases the eyes. For example, make sure that the tiles around the sink are of the same size and have the same alignment of designs. 
4.      Don’t Break Tiles into Bits:
Never opt for breaking tiles into small portions, especially in focus driven places of kitchen and bathroom. But you can join bits of tiles in a less prominent portion of the bathroom or kitchen. Using whole tiles improves the appeal as well as makes it easier for you to install. 
5.      Enforce Some Creativity: 
Don’t hold yourself back when it comes to crafting some creativity while using wall tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. You can try multiple ways of alignments and designs. It is not always necessary to install a metro tile in a brick bone style. You can lay them vertically or create a herringbone style, or try merely anything. Everything will look perfect, as long as you are confident about doing it right. 
 Bottom Line: 
If a homeowner’s heart is not in his kitchen, he is not a perfect homeowner at all. Decorating walls with wall tiles can be an easy fixture as the tiles do not extend to the ceiling or, at some portions, to the floor. But you must know the tricks to make that constrained portion the highlight of the kitchen. In a Bathroom, you have ample space to install wall tiles, which means you have to be critical of using wall tiles properly to achieve a harmonic appeal.
