Heidi Caillier Design
The most exciting part of designing a bathroom is choosing which beautiful materials and colors you're going to spotlight. And that's where tiles come in. They're basically the bathroom MVP. If you're planning a bathroom renovation, you may be married to the idea of all-white and marble-everything, but hear us out before you commit. There's a place for bold, patterned tile in your life, and we think that's inside your shower. Or on your bathroom wall. Or maybe even your tub? You get the idea. And if you really want to stick with a white, light, and airy look or something more sleek and moody, we've got plenty of designer inspiration on this list of bathroom tile ideas for you, too.
🏡You love finding new design tricks. So do we. Let us share the best of them.

Combine Different Shapes
Designer Kureck Jones knows how to have fun, especially when it comes to tile. The bubblegum pink subway tiles on the wall and the diamond, almost leaf-like motif on the floors of this bathroom are bursting with energy. The brass industrial-style fixtures and lighting add just enough contrast and the pop of pale purple paint is the cherry on top.

Subway tiles in their fresh take will give your bathroom a simple yet modern look.

Floral bathroom design
Also in the interior design of the bathroom, botanical motifs and generally organic style are no less relevant. In order to bring the beauty of nature into the room, you can use various decorative elements, for example, a plant in a pot or wallpaper with a floral pattern.

Since we mentioned marble, let's take a closer look at this trend. There are many ways to introduce this beautiful material into the interior of the bathroom: it can be classic tiles (or “metro” tiles) with different types of marble, marble mosaic, etc.
Calacatta Gold Honed Marble, for example, is an excellent finishing material for creating a luxurious shower area, while Wooden Beige Polished Marble with a wood-like texture can be used to decorate a bathroom in a rustic style or in the style of a modern country house.

Bold colors and tile patterns
Another trend this year is bright decoration - bold colors, contrasting patterns, etc. Tiles do not have to be large format. For example, thanks to its shiny surface, glossy tiles can already make a strong statement and transform the interior.
You can keep a minimalist bathroom but make it more expressive with a striking tile color. For example, the Mallorca Black ceramic tile shown in the photo, thanks to its black tone, glazed surface and slight irregularities, helps to create a stylish look.
For an accent wall in the bathroom, you can choose tiles with the right combination of color and pattern. This White & Green Bricks Carrara & Glass Mosaic panel combines Carrara marble with emerald green glass to form an eclectic brick pattern. Pay attention to how interesting this mosaic panel looks together with a harmoniously matched mirror and dressing table.
Terrazzo effect tiles
Terrazzo effect tiles are back in fashion, and their range has become even wider. Thanks to its characteristic appearance, it always looks interesting and enlivens the interior. It remains only to choose the tiles of the desired format with the desired combination of colors and the appropriate size of the elements.
You will agree that this terrazzo-effect tile chosen for bathroom decoration looks very funny. If you are in the rental business, this look is sure to catch the eye of a potential tenant.

Unique tile surface
Tiles can be laid in perfectly even rows, but each tile does not have to be perfect… With tiles that vary slightly in finish, shade or pattern, a stunning and unique surface can be created.
With their imperfect, handcrafted appearance, the Zellige tiles will help create an unpretentious yet visually interesting bathroom interior.
The warm and inviting atmosphere of this bathroom is achieved through the use of La Riviera Lavanda Blue glazed ceramic tiles with slight irregularities and slightly different shades from tile to tile. It goes well with a stone sink and rustic accents. Such an interior will look great in a country house or in an exquisite city mansion.
If you prefer the look of natural materials, look for example Marquina Square Marble Mosaic with natural contrasting marble pattern, Penny Rounds (penny type) – each mosaic element has an individual look. Tiles of this kind in your bathroom will always look relevant.
The natural variety of pattern on the surface of marble has attracted people for centuries. Wavy Hex Calacatta Gold & Thassos, with its creative shape and natural vein pattern, paired with a wooden vanity unit and potted plants, creates an organic bathroom design.

8 creative ideas for using tiles in the bathroom
Tiles have long been the main material for bathroom decoration. And even though now even paint and wallpaper are actively stepping on her heels, not to mention more durable options, it’s still incredibly difficult to imagine a bathroom without tiles. Novate.ru tells how it can be used to decorate the interior and make it more original.
How about experimenting with shape, color, layout, or even grouting? Here are some ideas for inspiration.
Idea 1: A niche as an accent
Tiles of a different color are often used to decorate a niche
In bathrooms, niches most often play the role of shelves for storage. If the recesses in the wall were not provided for by the layout, they can be built on purpose, choosing the most optimal place. For example, in the shower area, next to the bathtub, above the toilet installation, near the sink, and so on.
To make a niche look interesting and become a beautiful accent in the interior, highlight it with tiles. It can be a variant with a pattern or just a different color. The main thing is that it harmoniously fits into the interior. Experiment with the shape and number of niches. A narrow recess in the entire wall will look very beautiful and stylish. Given that you will have to arrange bottles, bottles and jars of different sizes on the shelves, make sure that there is enough distance between the shelves.
Speaking of shelves.
Best of all, wood-like specimens will look in a niche. Only you need to use not natural material, but porcelain stoneware that imitates wood, as it is more resistant to moisture. Don't forget spotlights for the shelves. A small and simple trick, but with its help you immediately get a convenient and stylish design element.
Idea 2: Diagonal or herringbone layout
Diagonal layout and herringbone look original
To make the bathroom look really interesting, pick up tiles of an unusual shape in a beautiful, deep color, and make a diagonal layout. In this case, the wall will definitely attract attention and admiring glances. In addition to the fact that the diagonal layout looks non-standard, it also visually increases the space. This technique, by the way, works not only in the case of laying on the wall, but also on the floor.
Note: Diagonal nesting may result in excess material consumption due to undercutting.
Therefore, if you have a limited budget and the main goal is to save on repairs, choose a different tile laying option.
Idea 3: Laying rectangular tiles vertically
Rectangular tiles are most often laid horizontally
In most cases, rectangular tiles are installed horizontally in a staggered way, as a result of which they visually become similar to brickwork. We offer to give preference to a non-standard solution, and lay the tiles vertically.
This visual trick will make the ceiling appear much higher than it really is. In addition, the vertical layout will become an additional accent, because the tiled area will differ not only in shade, but also in the way of laying.
Idea 4: Lettering

Using a mosaic, you can put a motivating phrase or word on the wall or on the floor. The decision is quite bold, because if you want to change the inscription or erase it, then it is unlikely to be done in a short time.
Therefore, having decided on this technique, approach the choice of a quote very responsibly. And, of course, do not forget to make a calculation in advance - you must be sure that the small tile will fall as it should and the phrase will not only catch your eye, but also fit into the interior.
Idea 5: Optical Illusion
Hexagonal tiles should transition from wall to floor
Using hexagon tiles is not a new idea. Thanks to its original appearance, it has become very popular among interior designers, and some even managed to get bored. If we talk about non-banal solutions, then you can use such a tile to design an optical effect. For example, use it as a finishing material for both tiles and floors. On the wall, the material should be combined with paint, and on the floor - with wood. As a result of such a tricky technique, the boundaries will blur and the walls will smoothly flow onto the floor. And paint and wood are needed just in order not to completely get confused in the boundaries and not experience discomfort while in the bathroom.
Here is such an unusual optical effect.
Idea 6: Shaped edge
The hexagon tile does not have to be laid all the way
Once again, the hexagon tile becomes the main character of our decorative technique, only this time a different trick is used. As in the previous paragraph, we suggest combining tiles with paint - a strong, durable and water-resistant material is ideal for decorating "wet" areas, in particular, the shower and the wall above the sink.
It is the area above the sink that attracts attention - the tile was left with curly edges, instead of cutting it into a banal even rectangle. This solution looks fresh, original and expressive, even though the color of the finishing materials is not bright, but basic.
Idea 7: Color grout
Color grout adds brightness and hue
Designers have been using this technique in their projects for more than a year, but still it cannot be called relevant and popular.
Especially rare is the combination of colored grout with bright tiles. For example, you can take a glossy green finishing material and harmoniously combine it with pink grout. Perhaps it will look somewhat provocative, but you are unlikely to find such a design move anywhere else. The interior of the bathroom can be supplemented with various gold-colored details, such as a mirror frame, lamps, faucets. They will add a touch of luxury and pomposity.
Idea 8: Tiles + lining
Clapboard looks great on the walls, adding comfort
Yes, you heard right. Clapboard is really not associated with something expensive and pretentious, and it is generally unrealistic to imagine it in the bathroom, because wood in wet areas is a rather controversial decision. However, you can find a way out of any situation and turn everything around so that any material harmoniously fits into the interior of the bathroom.
So, in order to break the stereotypes, we will need to combine wooden panels, similar to lining, with marbled tiles or other natural stone.
