Whilst we spend countless hours grooming and taking deep pride in ourselves in the bathroom, why not instill a little of this pride into the appearance of our our bathroom vanities? Bathroom vanities can make or break a stylish bathroom – emphasising space, style and light. It is important to gain a bathroom vanity that is modern, trendy and suited to your current bathroom as a whole.
In terms of the physical design of the unit, squared, strong edges and corners are the way to go. Alongside marble or marble-look benchtops, you will achieve a timeless look. If you have small children it is always important to consider safety – so be aware of sharp edges. Bathroom vanities are currently sporting basins that are in-set or sitting on top of the unit, almost as a separate vessel – these look great as both sqaure and round. Doors and drawers remain simple and plain, without any cut-outs or moulds. The key is; simplicity – no one likes to spend all day cleaning a bathroom!
White, of course, continues to be a strong option for drawers and doors. It is versatile and will lighten a room – however sticky fingers will leave marks! People are gradually moving toward the other end of the spectrum, with blacks, deep browns and dark combinations becoming highly popular. Be careful to select something that will not date quickly, and works in with the remainder of your home and bathroom. When choosing your handles, opt for either no handles or stainless steel – modern and simple.
Johnson Tiles can provide you with a select range of bathroom vanities to suit any home or taste – without breaking the bank! Come on in and see our bathroom vanities today and speak to a professional!

For many people, ‘carpet tiles’ can bring to mind small offices, high traffic areas and dull, lifeless colours. However, the team at Johnson Tiles would like to help you open your horizons – and bring carpet tiles to the home.
Carpet tiles are becoming reasonably popular as more and more people – particularly busy families – attempt to get in touch with their creative yet durable side. Carpet tiles are available in many different colours, and are highly durable with simple installation and replacement. What else could you ask for in a home with kids, spills and muddy boots?
Carpet tiles or carpet squares will suit many areas of the home. Playrooms and lounges are a great place to start, especially if you have young children. They can bring colour and creative flair to a busy area, and are easy to replace if damaged. Remember to select colours wisely!
If you have a zone in your home that requires a little bit of protection, but not complete cover-up, carpet tiles could be the answer. A strong alternative to rugs, carpet tiles can be laid creatively over tiles or floor boards to give the effect of a rug or feature piece of your home. A place for the children to play or pets to relax without the worry!

Stepping away from inside the home, it’s time to take a brief look at swimming pool tile fashion – the current do’s and don’t’s! If you currently own a pool and would love to re-tile, or are considering constructing one, it is important to consider the tiling for your pool, and the team at Johnson Tiles have a couple of tips for you!
Whilst not so long ago a far more natural, neutral look was popular amongst pool owners, we have taken a dive in the opposing direction to opt for something that can be potentially striking, modern and fun. Small, squared swimming pool tiles are back in fashion – making for a style that will rarely date, and always looks fresh and inviting.
So, now that we know which tiles are all the go, what colours should aspiring pool owners be hunting for? Your swimming pool will always look fresh, clean and fun when using shades of blue – and the beauty of small, compact tiles is that you can vary the shades of the colour you select. Bright blues, turquoises, purples and darker blues will keep your pool looking clean and clear – less maintenance a bonus!
Of course, there are always other options if you want something a little less traditional. Greens can look fabulous when done correctly – we advise to make use of aquas, lime greens and sea greens to make your pool look at its best; murky greens can make your water appear cloudy and dull. Another creative option that won’t go out of fashion is always neutrals – such as a combination of black, grey and white. It is important to use the darkest colour as the minority – as too much can make the water look dirty and unsafe.
And finally, for those who want something a little bit more outrageous, opting for reds, organges and yellows is always a hit. They will brighten up any pool space – indoors or out! Be smart with your choices; as these colours can quickly date. It is important to select colours that will match with the style of your environment, home and personality – without going to crazy!
Come in and see the team at Johnson Tiles today, and we will show you all of our modern, fresh pool tiles in our showroom in Bayswater!
Decorative and metallic tiles have been around for many years – and are highly popular in any style or era of home. They are often used to represent taste, style and even culture – adding a unique flare to your kitchen or bathroom. Johnson Tiles can supply you with some of the most intricate and interesting metallic and decorative tiles available.
In terms of decorative tiles with metallic detailing, it is important to be very selective and clear on your choice, as they can date very easily. Metallic detailing on an already patterned tile can look wonderful; but less is always more when it comes to this sort of fine detailing. Investigate your home and the location in which you decorative tiles will be featuring – decide which metallic colours will go the best. Silver is a popular, modern choice as it will not date as quickly as gold – and if the colour wears away it is not as obvious!
Whole metallic tiles are a fanastic way to make your bathroom or kitchen look very modern and stylish. Manufactured commonly in silver or chrome colours, they can make a lovely tile feature. Once again, less is more – identify the perfect location for your tiling feature in your bathroom and keep that as the only statement. Johnson Tiles have a wide range of metallic tiles displayed on their website, arranged in common tile feature patterns, so be sure to have a look today!
Given the popularity circulating around fancy and funky kitchen splashbacks, we seem to have forgotten all about our bathrooms and their splashback requirements! As one of the high traffic areas of the home – one where we spend countless hours primping and grooming ourselves to look and smell our very best – it is important to consider the appearance and simplicity of this crucial space.
There are not many individuals out their who enjoy cleaning a bathroom; they are often cramped, fiddly and grimey. So, with the dawn of coloured or plain glass splashbacks in showers and above basins, what are we waiting for? A glass splashback is ever-so-simple to look after – no grout to scrub or mess to be made with abrasive cleaners. Simply quirt on your favourite cleaner and wipe away. Another common idea to make cleaning your shower easy is to keep a squeegee in there; so once you are finished up in the shower you can give it a quick wipe over – less drip marks and dirty water!
A glass splashback in your shower and potentially above your basin area is also a grand opportunity to get creative. Selecting bold or bright colours will brighten up a boring bathroom, whilst selecting light and neutral colours will open up the space dramatically. Glass splashbacks are also diverse – if you are keen on feature tiles or stones they can be easily added, so don’t be afraid to add in your own unique touches here and there!
Be sure to contact Johnson Tiles in Bayswater for all of your kitchen and bathroom glass splashback requirements!
Stuck for ideas when it comes to tiling and decorating your new (or old!) bathroom? Let Johnson Tiles guide you through a few basic ideas and tips in creating a bathroom look that you won’t get tired of!
If you bathroom space is limited, be sure to avoid dark colours – as these can close in the space and make the room appear smaller than it truly is. Light and neutral colours will automatically bring extra light to your bathroom, opening up the space. There are many fantastic colours available to suit any style and taste, so keep your eyes peeled!
Many people are not willing to take a daring step towards a brighter colour scheme in the bathroom, but we have a great way to resolve this. Making your bathroom modern and fun is as simple as adding some small feature tiles to a section of the bathroom. These may be mosaics, glass tiles or simply basic coloured tiles – but they can certainly make a statement. Popular areas to add features tiles include vertically within the shower, horizontally along the top of a basin or bath or in a single line along the floor of the bathroom.
If you are a little more daring in your choices, there are many exciting options out there for wonderful murals and mosaics – from shapes to landscapes to animals and much more. Just remember to keep it tasteful, and team it with a smart neutral colour that will draw the eye to your feature.
A popular trend that is currently featured in many modern display homes is the use of two differently coloured tiles for the floor and the bath or shower. Making use of this design idea must be carefully thought over, as the wrong colour combinations can take away from the space. It is always best to team contrasting or blending neutrals – such as dark grey and off-white, or two different shades of a specific neutral colour. When this method is done effectively, it can open up the space and creative a modern, sophisticated design.

There are many different material options for you to choose from when it comes to kitchen splashbacks, including stainless steel, tiles, glass and many more. It doesn not matter what era or style your home may reflect; there is always a splashback to suit perfectly.
Stainless Steel
A stainless steel splashback is a highly modern choice, and can give off a professional vibe throughout your kitchen. If you have a few stainless steel appliances, these will work in well – however be careful not to overload the eye! Stainless steel will go well with any colour scheme; it can blend for a conservative look or contrast for something a little more out there. Stainless steel is (obviously) only available in the one shade, and can be limiting.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is currently all the rage in modern homes – with its shiny, sleek and colourful appearance. There are literally hundreds of colour options for laminated glass, ranging from neutrals to vibrant colours. They are simple to keep clean, with no detailing to work around – one quick wipe!

The colours and textures your choose will need to flow and work in with your decor – be sure to keep it simple.
So, when it comes to the living area, how can you effectively keep this section appearing relaxing and friendly, rather than a place in which you chop up dinner?

Coloured cushions, curtains, vases, flowers, candles – simply adding these items will bring a whole new feel to that section of the household. The most effective way of achieving this is by purchasing a rug to go over your tiles in the living area – go for something that stands out, works in and looks great; we guarantee that your tiled living area will look lovely in no time!
