How do I decide between polished, matt, gloss or sugar finishes for bathroom walls and floors?

If you want a reflective, high-end look on walls, polished or gloss finishes such as the Amiata Kallone White Marble Gloss (600 x 1200mm) create that marble-like sheen. For floors and wet areas choose matt or textured/sugar finishes because they give better grip and hide water marks, the Amiata Ardsley Light Grey Matt (600 x 600mm) works well underfoot. A good rule is to use polished or gloss on a feature wall and matt/textured tiles on the floor to balance style with safety.

Which tile size and shape makes a small bathroom look larger?

Rectangular 300 x 600mm tiles laid horizontally visually elongate walls and make a small bathroom feel wider; the Amiata Artemis White 300 x 600mm is an easy choice for that. If you prefer fewer grout lines and a more seamless look in a larger space, a 600 x 1200mm slab like the Kallone marble effect will open up the room. Small bathrooms often benefit from medium rectangles rather than many small squares, as they reduce visual clutter.

Can you use the same porcelain tile on both walls and floors?

Yes, many of the range are specified as wall and floor tiles, Amiata Lamos Cream 600 x 600mm, so you can run the same tile for a cohesive look. Just match the finish to the location: a tile marked polished is fine on walls but choose the matt or textured version for the floor to avoid slipperiness. Using a single tile across walls and floor simplifies cleaning and gives a contemporary, unified finish.

How do I combine marble effect, stone effect and plain tiles without the room looking busy?

Anchor the room with a neutral plain tile such as Amiata Artemis White 600 x 600mm, then introduce marble effect tiles like Valencia White Marble 300 x 600mm as a single feature wall or niche. Use stone-effect tiles on the floor, a light grey Ardsley option, to add natural texture without competing with the marble pattern. Limiting yourself to two finishes and a consistent colour palette keeps the scheme calm and sophisticated.

Are darker colours like black suitable for bathroom floors, and what should I expect in maintenance?

Dark tiles such as Amiata Sparkle Black are perfectly suitable for bathroom floors and create dramatic contrast, but they will show water spots and limescale more than light colours. If you choose black, opt for a textured or sugar finish to mask scuffs and improve grip; the 300 x 600mm or 600 x 600mm sizes work well depending on how many cuts you'll need. Regular wiping after use keeps the finish looking fresh, while matt or textured blacks will be easier to live with day to day.
