Consider the size and layout of your laundry room when selecting tiles. Larger tiles can make a small room appear more spacious, but they may require cutting to fit around appliances and fixtures. Smaller tiles can offer more flexibility in terms of layout and can be a good choice for irregularly shaped rooms.
Select durable tiles that can withstand the weight of your washer and dryer, as well as resist wear and tear over time. Porcelain tiles are known for their strength and durability, making them a mainstay of laundry room floor design.
Adding a tile backsplash to your laundry room is a fun way to experiment with interesting colors and patterns. The smaller overall square footage of a backsplash means you can add some whimsy or intrigue on a smaller scale, keeping busy patterns or vibrant colors from overwhelming the room.
As for color, while the conventional wisdom says dark walls can make a small space feel even smaller, that is not always the case with laundry room tiles. If your laundry room is especially well lit, consider a high gloss black tile for your laundry room backsplash. The gloss will reduce the darkening effect and the stark black tile will add a dramatic flare to an otherwise purely functional room.
