{"title":"Designer's Choice - Tiles under $90 per square metre","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat are Designers Choice tiles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigners Choice is a curated selection of designer-look tiles from The Blue Space, put together for renovators who want a considered, higher-end appearance without needing to shop the most premium end of the tile market. The range sits in an accessible, cost-conscious bracket, making it a practical starting point for bathroom, kitchen and living space renovations where the overall look matters as much as individual tile specification. It suits homeowners and renovators who want tiles that read as designer-selected rather than generic, while keeping the rest of the renovation budget available for other fixtures and finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat this range covers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection spans tiles across a range of styles suited to bathroom, kitchen and general living applications. Because it is curated for a considered look at an accessible price bracket, tiles in this range are a sensible option when tiling a larger area, such as a full bathroom floor and wall, where cost per square metre adds up quickly across a bigger surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuying considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore choosing a tile, confirm its intended application, whether it is rated for floor use, wall use, or both, since not every tile is suited to every surface. Check the tile size against the area you are tiling, as larger format tiles can reduce the number of grout lines and suit larger rooms, while smaller formats may suit feature areas or spaces with more complex shapes. Always order slightly more than your measured area to allow for cutting, wastage and future repairs, and confirm all tiles for a single job come from the same batch to avoid visible colour or shade variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere budget-friendly tiles make sense\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn accessible, well-priced tile range is a practical choice when the tiled area is large, when you are balancing spend across multiple parts of a renovation, or when you want a designer look without allocating the largest share of the budget to tiles specifically. It also suits rental properties, investment renovations or secondary bathrooms where a considered look matters but does not need to be the most premium option available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTile installation should be carried out by a qualified tiler, who can confirm the correct adhesive, grout and waterproofing requirements for your specific application, particularly in wet areas such as bathrooms and laundries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho this range suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigners Choice suits renovators who want a curated, higher-end look at an accessible price point, whether tiling a full bathroom, a kitchen splashback, or another living space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc_wrap\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"accordion\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat makes a tile part of the Designers Choice range?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"panel\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv\u003eThese tiles have been curated for a considered, designer-look appearance while sitting in a more accessible, cost-conscious price bracket.
