Choosing bathroom wall tiles isn’t just about picking a nice color or pattern — the tile size plays a huge role in the room’s look, feel, and total cost.The right size can make the bathroom look bigger, cleaner, and more luxurious, while the wrong size may make the room feel cramped or even increase installation costs.

Why tile size matters

✔ Changes the perception of space

Large tiles → make the room feel widerSmall tiles → add detail but can look busy if overused

✔ Affects your total budget

Tile size impacts:

Number of tiles required
Cutting waste
Labour cost

Bigger tiles don’t always mean cheaper overall — if the bathroom layout isn’t suitable, you may waste more material or require specialized installation.

✔ Affects installation quality

Small tiles → more grout lines
Large tiles → require skilled installers & a perfectly flat wall
