Tiles play an important role in virtually every bathroom, due to their special properties and the way they set off a room to best advantage.

In view of the variety of colours, formats and decorative elements, choosing the right tiles is no easy task. Here again, the tile recommendations within the complete collections from Villeroy & Boch will help you to make the right choice. The special advantages of tiles are …

• hard-wearing and stable under pressure
• hygienic and easy to clean
• healthy, recommended for those suffering from allergies
• anti-static, i.e. the tiles will not become charged
• resistant to scratching and scoring
• environment-friendly: made of natural raw materials, can be easily dispose of
• colour- and light-fast
• possess good thermal conductivity, e.g. for underfloor heating
• will not burn

Ways to optimise the proportions of the room

In small bathrooms:
Large floor tiles, always choose light colours

In narrow bathrooms:
Lay tiles diagonally

Perfect optical illusion:
Vertical rows of borders create an impression of increased height, horizontal borders a wider appearance

Two-colour walls:
Dark tiles below, light tiles above

Practical and attractive:
Tiled shelves and shelf units
