Everyone dreams of relaxing in the sort of bathroom they have always wanted. Whether that is a earthy toned, candle lit bathroom with a freestanding roll top bath or a spa in a light, spacious white bathroom, buying the right sort of tiles is essential.

When you have decided to lay new floor tiles on your bathroom or kitchen floor there are a few things you need to think about. First things first you need to pick out the sort of tiles you want to use in the sense of colours, patterns and materials. As far as materials go, there are wide ranges of tiles available from ceramic, glass, marble, slate and porcelain all of which can be used to achieve different looks and effects.

When you have decided what sort of material you want, you then need to make sure that you get colours that go with the original style of the existing bathroom wall tiles. It can be hard to get the right mix but if you have any problems you will be able to find plenty of advice online from home improvement television shows. The best thing to do is keep it simple and if you find yourself in trouble then ask for assistance.

It is very important to remember that before you lay your new bathroom floor tiles you need to prepare the surface. Most bathrooms will already have floor tiles on the floor so it is vital to make sure you remove these before you get started laying the new ones. This can be done using a long handled floor scraper and its strong metal blade can be levered under each tile and pushed in order to break the adhesive bond, helping you to prise up the floor tiles.

It is best to use the scraper to release as many of the floor tiles as possible. If you have some areas where you can’t remove the adhesive then you could try using a stripping knife. Heavier floor tiles may require that you break them up, the best way to do this is with a hammer and chisel.
