Ceramics Round 2 - Final round.

After the first round of selecting the ceramics, we still kept thinking on whether we would like to change anything. It is not easy to visualize how the final finished bathroom or kitchen would look like. Just looking at one ceramic tile and liking it does not mean that one would like the final product as well.

We have been doing a lot of thinking around this. After all, once we finalize these things and they put the tiles in the bathroom and kitchen there is no going back. So every detail was important.

So we decided to take a trip again to the ceramics store. And we are glad we did the round 2. Many small details which we had not thought of before were given more attention. And we finally selected the ceramics and finalized the selection of ceramics.

Starting with the entry hall:

Entrance hall floor tiles: Loft Antracite 30x60

Another angle

Bathroom on lower level:

Lower level bathroom wall: LB Vit matt 20x40

Lower level bathroom floor: Fusion grå 33x33

Lower level bathroom shower floor & wall stroke: Fusion grå 10x10

Bathroom on upper level:

Upper level bathroom wall: Caiman White 25x45

Upper level bathroom floor: Fusion Grå 33x33

Upper level bathroom shower floor, wall stroke & wash basin wall: Fusion grå 10x10

Kitchen & Laundry wall:

Kitchen & Laundry wall: EG Ice vit matt 10x30

Laundry floor:

Laundry floor: Fusion Grå 33x33

In addition to the above ceramics selection, we also had to select the "Fogfärg". I don't know the English word for it (neither does Google, it fails to translate this one), but it is the color of the material that goes in between the tiles.


We opted for the colors between different types of ceramic tiles to be as close to the color of the tile itself. I think using a different color than that of the tile would give an un-necessary contrast.

Then we were told about something called as "Kakellister". Again, I am not sure of the English word for this one, but Google says it is "Tile Mouldings". Well, this is something that makes a big difference in the appearance and finishing of the ceramics work. It is a little piece of metal that goes around the edge near the windows, but see the difference.

So, of course we decided to have this little piece of metal on the edges to make it look nice.

And that was the round 2 of the ceramics selection. But we managed to finalize the details and we think that we made good choices. But as I said, the final result will only be known when the tiles are put in place. Lets hope for the best.
