Can I put tiles on the walls of the living room? What are the requirements for putting tiles on the walls of the living room?

We all know that the living room is an important place in the home and the most conspicuous place, so it is very thoughtful in decoration design. Many people will put tiles on the walls of the living room, which looks more refined. So what are the requirements for putting tiles on the walls of the living room? Let's take a closer look!

Advantages of tiling the living room wall

1. Easy to clean

Ceramic tiles are easy to care for and can even be washed. There is no need to worry if they get oily. It is not a problem if they get dusty over time. The easy-to-clean feature gives it a great advantage among interior materials, making people feel that the living room is very clean.

2. Not easy to become "old"

Tiles with low water absorption will hardly change color during use; tiles with good hardness will not leave marks even if scratched with hard objects. Tiles with these two characteristics will keep the living room looking new all year round without leaving any marks.

3. The living room environment is bright

Choosing light-colored tiles will make the living room bright and neat. If the tiles are polished, the atmosphere will be more obvious. If you want a bright and spacious home, this is a good choice.

4. “Luxury” feeling

Using tiles in the living room, especially those with "reflective effect", to construct the "aura" of the room and create a sense of luxury can easily attract people's attention and attract people's eyeballs.

Disadvantages of tiling the living room wall

1. The living room is cool

The material of ceramic tiles is cold. If they are used in a large area, the indoor environment will also become cold, especially in winter, when this feeling will be more obvious.

2. Light pollution

When light shines into the living room, it will be reflected on the tiles with a well-polished effect. This will be more serious when the light is strong, causing "light pollution" in the room.

3. Easy to have water vapor

In hot and humid summer, or in cities near the sea, a layer of water vapor is easily generated on the surface of the tiles.

4. Hollowing

Over time, the phenomenon of hollow tiles falling off is inevitable. The falling of tiles is not only unsightly, but also dangerous to people. In addition, after the warranty period has passed, the decoration company will no longer take care of it, and it will be very troublesome to repair it later.

What should I pay attention to when laying tiles on the living room wall

It is completely possible to paste wall tiles in the living room, but there are a few points that need to be paid attention to:

1. Gap direction processing

When tiling the wall, I suggest either paving the whole wall without leaving any gaps, or leaving gaps in one direction. If you leave gaps both horizontally and vertically, the whole wall will feel very fragmented, like a bathroom.

2. Pattern selection

When choosing wall tiles, don’t choose those with too many patterns. Try to choose some dark patterns, or those with less exaggerated patterns. The wall should serve as a background.

3. Don’t choose too big wall tiles, and it’s best to use tile adhesive to lay them.

A big problem with covering all the walls with tiles is that you may have to worry about the tiles falling off, so it is best not to buy tiles that large, which will be safer. In addition, using tile adhesive will make it more solid and safer.

4. Choice of glossy and matte finish

Different styles require different wall tiles, or different feelings require different wall tiles.

If you want the whole space to be warm, restrained and comfortable, you can choose some plain matte tiles and stick them on the wall. The effect is very similar to that of wall cloth, and the effect is also very good and durable.

If you want the whole space to be brighter and more gorgeous, you can choose some bright tiles, so that the whole space will be more luxurious.
