THAI SOUNG Launches Professional Tile Selection Guide, Championing the Concept 'Tile Work…Is More Than Just Beautiful Design'
THAI SOUNG launches a professional tile selection guide addressing how homeowners often choose tiles for beauty alone, ignoring functionality that impacts safety and durability across different rooms like bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.
While many homeowners draw inspiration from beautiful designs on social media, magazines, or showrooms, they often face unexpected problems when tiles are actually used—from slippery bathroom tiles to hard-to-clean kitchen tiles, uncomfortable cold bedroom floors, and cracked parking tiles that can't bear weight. "Beautiful home, but it doesn't function" has become a major pain point for modern homeowners. These issues all reflect the same oversight: ignoring "function." Since each area of a home has different usage patterns, selecting tiles that match the function of each room is just as important as choosing something aesthetically pleasing.
THAI SOUNG, a premium tile brand trusted by leading projects nationwide with over two decades of experience, is ready to solve classic home design problems by recommending professional ways to select tiles for seven main areas of the home, so every square meter is both beautiful and reliably functional.
Bathroom—A Personal Space: Full Design, But Safe at Every Step Bathrooms most clearly reflect a homeowner's style and offer more design flexibility than other rooms. For wall applications, marble-look tiles remain continuously popular, elevating the atmosphere to feel luxurious and contemporary. Particularly, the Amazon series offers multiple color options, as do DS Luxury and Caesar, which help create a distinctive bathroom atmosphere. For flooring, choose tiles with an R10 slip-resistance rating or higher, since bathrooms are wet areas with high slip risk. Selecting appropriate slip resistance reduces accident risk, especially in homes with elderly people or small children.
Bedroom—The Right Feel: Create True Relaxation with Every Step Bedrooms are spaces where we most often walk barefoot, making floor texture particularly important. Today's popular bedroom material is SPC wood-look flooring, available in both straight and herringbone patterns, as it closely mimics natural wood, feels comfortable underfoot, and many models come with IXPE foam backing to absorb impact and reduce pressure on knees and joints, promoting long-term wellness. If using tiles, choose R9 or Honed surfaces that feel smooth but aren't overly slippery. For color tone, opt for warm tones like cream, light brown, or wood patterns to make the bedroom feel relaxing and truly conducive to rest.
Kitchen—Function Comes First: Easy Cleaning, Daily Practicality When dealing with water stains, food residue, and grease almost daily, prioritize kitchen tiles that are easy to maintain. For flooring, Honed, Matt, or R9 surface tiles are recommended for easy cleaning and appropriate slip resistance. Avoid overly rough surfaces, as they trap dirt and are difficult to wipe clean. For walls, you can choose tiles with the same pattern as the floor but different surface finishes—such as Polished, Honed, or Lappato—to add dimension and create visual continuity. Avoid very small tiles, as the increased grout lines become points for long-term dirt and bacteria accumulation.
Living Room and Guest Areas—The First Impression That Reflects Your Home's Identity Guest areas are where visitors' eyes first land, making design investment here more worthwhile than other spaces. Recommended tile size is large format (Big Slab) starting from 60×120 cm, as it creates a more spacious and modern impression.
