Many of us who live in urban areas live in small, cramped apartments. Anything we can do to maximize space in our apartments (or give the impression of more space) we will do. When people redecorate they often think how they can shape the space or change the items in the room to maximize space. Something that is often overlooked is how tiles can make a space look better.

Kitchen glass tiles are ideal for apartment kitchens. They add depth to the walls which makes the room look bigger. They also reflect light, which is good for a kitchen that does not get much natural light. You can use clear glass tiles if you want to keep your current color scheme. If you want to introduce some new colors you can use colored kitchen glass tiles. No matter which you choose, using glass mosaic tiles or other types of glass tile will make your kitchen look bigger and better lit.

The same could be said about an apartment's bathroom. Small bathrooms can be cramped and claustrophobic. Using glass bathroom tiles will help make your bathroom look more spacious and bright. New glass bathroom tile can change the feel of your bathroom.
Glass tile is durable enough for both the kitchen and bathroom. It is as tough and moisture resistant as other forms of tile. It also costs about the same as ceramic tiles. If you can find discount glass tile you can save even more on the cost of your redecoration.
You should not feel that you need to stick to one type of tile. You can create beautiful mosaic tile patterns using glass tile, ceramic tile, and metal tile. Sometimes the most interesting mosaic tile patterns are the ones that mix and match different colors and mediums.

Glass subway tile can be used anywhere in your apartment you want to create the illusion of more space or capitalize on limited light resources. Glass subway tiles can go a long way in alleviating an apartment's cramped feeling. Increasingly glass tiles are being used in urban spaces for this reason. Minimalistic design can also go a long way in creating the illusion of space. Rooms with more stuff in them look smaller, whereas rooms with empty spaces appear larger.

Living in a small apartment can be hard but there are lots of things you can do to make it feel spacious. If you are embarking on a redecoration project, this could be your opportunity to make your apartment feel bigger.
