What to do first? It is advisable to choose a style. Now moderate minimalism is in fashion: Scandinavian direction, loft, urban. You also need to start from finishing options. Here it is possible to imitate natural materials, patchwork, monophonic collections, various textures and so on.

There are several principles that guide designers when developing projects that meet the most current trends. For the interior of the bathroom, tiles are selected taking into account them.

Instagram @zhenya_zhdanova

Light tile for walls is more practical. In addition to the obvious fact that it visually expands the space, soap and lime stains are also not visible on it.
Materials of standard sizes look ordinary. Large porcelain tiles, small mosaics, a set of modules of different sizes imitating natural stone masonry, etc. look much more spectacular.
Matte, semi-gloss or textured finishes are more aesthetically pleasing and practical.
The style of installation is ultimately just as important as the choice of design. You can encounter the result of the work of a negligent finisher in almost a third of the apartments, and seemingly minor flaws in trimming cross out a wonderful project.
The width of the joints, the color and the quality of the grout can either emphasize or destroy a good design.
"Designer" collections with borders, decor, drawings with flowers, fish and boats should be left on the shelf for "grandmother's" interiors. Today it's all anti-trend.

Keep in mind that it is unlikely that you will be able to see the real picture on the stand in the store, and even more so on the photo when ordering online. The visual perception of the finish depends on the size and shape of the room, the type of lighting, the laying format and many other factors. Optimal: not just look at ideas in advance, but download your favorite photos of projects to your phone to build on them when choosing.

There are a lot of types of facing material, but it is enough to know two of them.

Ceramic. As a rule, it is thin, may or may not be glazed, and is used to decorate walls.
Porcelain tile. It was originally created for flooring, most often with imitation of natural stone. It is stronger and thicker than ordinary tiles. Later, the material acquired more diverse designs, and today it is used for various surfaces, including walls.

The choice of elements is very diverse, but this year the most relevant are:

large rectangular or square tiles;
mosaic on mesh;
Pentagonal and hexagonal fragments.

The main rule of a stylish and modern bathroom is not to limit yourself to the purpose of the material indicated in the product description. Today, you can safely experiment, using, for example, floor tiles for walls, and wall tiles for lining cabinets under the sink.

When designing a bathroom with tiles, it is important to take into account modern trends below (pictured below). It is not necessary to follow the finished projects exactly, but they can serve as good inspiration.

Imitation of natural materials

Instagram @jeevaa_design

This is the main trend of the current year. Textured wood, original sandstone, harsh granite, discreet concrete, futuristic metal and elite marble - manufacturers now offer a huge selection of imitations from the luxury to the economy segment of the market.

Such ceramics are most relevant in loft, urban, eco- and Scandinavian styles.

Mosaic

Small tiles in bathroom design never lose their relevance.

Instagram @lidiyabolshakova

Initially, the remnants of materials were used in this way, but the idea that arose later to make patterns and paintings from tiny pieces became a separate art form.

Modern mosaics are very different from those of the past. Today it is made from the same materials as other types of tiles, and the fragments are conveniently fixed on a strong mesh. This reduced the complexity of laying by hundreds of times, and the effectiveness increased.

Suitable for classic, contemporary and other interiors.

Patchwork

Another trend in bathroom design is warm and cozy patchwork.

This is an imitation of leftover styling, however, in each collection, patterns and colors are in perfect harmony with each other.

Mediterranean and Scandinavian styles would be incomplete without these elements.

"Metro" or "boar"

Urban style does not lose its position in the top of the best solutions. Tiles-bricks appeared in the Paris metro almost 100 years ago, hence their first name came from.

Instagram @neapol_design

It has become a tradition for us to call such a tile a "boar" because of the peculiarities of production. When glazed, two holes were left at the end of each fragment, resembling a pig's snout.

Whatever you call it, this solution looks very stylish. Moreover, manufacturers have mastered the technique with a bright 3D effect, and now even a glossy white wall looks as fashionable as possible. Different styling of rectangular fragments will help diversify the design: herringbone, offset and other options.

Colored tiles

On the one hand, it's a classic, on the other, it's a very risky decision.

Instagram @zhenya_zhdanova

In most cases, when you wanted a stylish bathroom, but got the interior "a la 1990s", the main role is played by colored tiles.

But it is also not necessary to give up the desire to add color completely. The main thing is not to overdo it. One accent wall or a couple of juicy fragments is enough to rest on the color of the eye.

The texture of the surface is poorly reproduced in the photo, but live it is one of the most important aspects of the choice. Feel free to iron and feel the material in the store. Repairing a bathroom is an expensive pleasure, and it will take a long time to look at its result.

The main trends today are matte and semi-matte ceramics. Leave the gloss only for the “boar” and imitation of marble, so they only look more spectacular. Favorable also looks textured tile, which becomes even more beautiful with the right lighting.

Large

Instagram @veprince.design

Not just large, but very large porcelain stoneware (from a meter in length) is relevant. The fashion for such finishing elements did not appear today, but earlier it was a problem to buy a large format. Then it had to be looked for among the collections for public places. In 2022, many manufacturers presented collections of large-format ceramics, so the choice is quite worthy.

Large-scale finishing elements look elegant and austere, and also visually expand the space in a spacious room. But for the owners of small rooms, the desire to use large tiles will add difficulties. More elements will have to be trimmed, and there is a risk that such a combination will ruin the original idea.

Small

Small fragments and mosaics are also in trend. Moreover, they are also lined with cabinets, built-in wardrobes and other protruding interior elements. Fashionable "boar" also belongs to this category.

Instagram @lidiyabolshakova

By the way, small tiles are very useful when decorating rooms with non-standard shapes or with rounded elements. It can be laid so that all lines remain as smooth as possible, and trimming is not required. However, you should be careful with the option of using only small tiles. For such a choice, you need to have impeccable taste, otherwise the design may be controversial. It is better to combine sizes.

Instagram @neapol_design

In fact, this is a continuation of the fashion for imitation of natural materials - now it is also supported in various sizes.
