One of the most consolidated trends in recent years is that of design bathrooms without tiles. New materials and techniques such as microcements (which are not limited to gray), or vinyl wallpapers allow custom-designed, calm and relaxed bathrooms with continuous surfaces or, conversely, bathrooms with wall designs as striking as you want.
Continuous surfaces are a clean and minimalist design option. It is ideal for those who prefer to limit themselves to having few finishes at home, or that these are homogenous. And it is that, choosing a material for the floors of the bathrooms, another for the kitchen floor, and up to three types of tiles -one for the kitchen wall and one for each bathroom-, can be a bit stressful for some and , especially it can ruin the sense of coherence of the house.
ADVANTAGES OF NOT HAVING TILED IN THE BATHS
- An important advantage is that it is an easy material to renew or change. Because the microcement can change color by applying another layer and the same with paint. The wallpapers can also be replaced by others. In any case, not having tiles facilitates the future reform of the bathroom, since you will forget about debris and the dust generated by removing the tiles.
- Easy to clean. Contrary to what many believe, a damp cloth will be used to clean the walls, which, having no joints, are even easier to clean.
- Design. Vinyl papers allow for amazing (and personal) designs. With the micro-cement finish you can opt for the trendy slightly coated beige.
- You may cover your current finishes with these materials. You will hardly lose a few millimeters of thickness and it will be a change that does not need heavy work.
- They are the finishes that best match, with the option of partially opening the bathroom to the bedroom.
DISADVANTAGES
- The washable paint is not suitable for high humidity surfaces like the shower. In this case, you can only tile the surface of the shower. In the case of microcement, if there are finishes prepared for showers and bathtubs.

And as proof that it is a rising trend, this year we have had the opportunity to “enter” in numerous houses that echoed this trend. And here are some of our favorite options.
The cleaning of lines in this bathroom allows the stone wall be the real protagonist.
