TILES
We recommend buying tiles in Special Tile stores. Check the quality of tiles before purchasing. Buy samples (you can return it after) - check how you feel, how easy you can clean it if you stand on it, try water, dirt on it. No Black Tiles for the floor. Max 2 different types of tiles for the small bathroom. Look for 12X24, 24X24, 24X36, 24X48 - most popular.
