What does a larger tile change?

Larger pieces generally reduce the number of visible joints over a given area. They also span more of the substrate, making preparation and handling important. A small bathroom can still use large tile if the layout and cut locations work.

Where do smaller pieces help?

Smaller formats can introduce pattern and adapt to detailed areas. Mosaics can follow shower-floor slope changes, provided the product is suitable for the application. More joints also change the appearance and cleaning routine.

How should I compare samples?

Mark the tile size on a room sketch or on the wall. Look at where full pieces and cuts land at niches, windows, valves and doorways. The best choice is often clearer in a layout than on a showroom sample board.

A common question

Do larger tiles make every room look bigger?

They can create a quieter visual field, but color, layout, lighting and proportions also matter. Review the actual room rather than relying on a universal rule.
