Choosing to add black tiles to your bathroom floor is a great way to change your room's energy and spice things up in your home. We suggest a glossy or vinyl tile look that will be easy to clean and go with just about any decor you choose. Black is a timeless color and fits perfectly into any bathroom space you are working with, so it is a highly recommended option.
As we begin this post, we will be sharing our top 15 black tile bathroom floor ideas that we can't take our eyes off of. Whether you plan to remodel or need some inspiration for your current bathroom, we have got you covered. Let's get this list started!
1. Large Modern Semi-Matte Tiles
Our first bathroom on the list uses a larger shaped semi-matte black tile that we are loving. This bathroom went with an ultra-modern design but still has that glossy look we recommended, making it a great first option. This tile idea is perfect for larger bathroom spaces and goes well with the lighter wallpaper and fixtures.
2. Sleek Marble Look
Next, we have this stunning black marble tile bathroom floor that looks insanely luxurious. Choosing to go with a marble design floor tile is the perfect way to class up your space and make it stand out in your bathroom. This room also went with a matching black marble accent wall that perfectly ties the look together.
3. Black Vinyl Inspired
Third, we have this black vinyl-inspired tile floor that looks amazing in this bathroom. Deciding to go with a vinyl tile for your bathroom is an excellent non-slip option and gives your feet a little more grip after you hop out of the shower or bath.
We also want to note how well this floor looks with the built-in tub and walk-in shower this design features.
4. Small, Square, And Glossy
Next up, we have a smaller black tile option that feels straight out of a retro party mansion. This bathroom is tile dominant, so we appreciate the simple square flooring the designer chose to go with. When working with a ton of different wall colors, try sticking with a simple floor tile design.
5. Alternating Pattern Design
Another black tile bathroom idea is one using an alternating pattern similar to this example. We surprisingly love this tile look and think that it gives this bathroom space a unique feeling. Another detail we noticed would be the shower and floor grouting aligning perfectly together to give this bathroom a well-planned final look.
6. The Bigger, The Better
Here we have another sizeable black floor tile option to use in your bathroom that caught our eye. Choosing to design with a larger size tile versus a smaller one will add that luxurious touch to your bathroom and might cut your install time down a bit.
This bathroom is on the narrow side, so this may be an excellent option for anyone working with a similarly shaped space.
7. Charcoal Slab Tile
Next, we have this charcoal black slab tile option that will look amazing in a bathroom space. The softer tile color makes this a favorite on the list and takes some of the severity away from the black tile design. If you are looking for a lighter black tile floor for your bathroom, try something similar to this style.
8. Honeycomb Design
Coming in at number eight, we have this modern honeycomb-designed black tile floor that we are a little obsessed with. Honeycomb-shaped tiles are an easy way to make your bathroom feel unique and thoughtfully designed. These tiles have a mid-century modern look to them which we like and go well with the glass walk-in shower.
9. Aged Chevron Look
Here is an interesting black aged tile idea we found that will add plenty of character to your bathroom. This tile design follows a chevron/fish bone-shaped pattern and looks super cool in this bathroom space.
If you're after an eclectic and lived-in bathroom aesthetic, we think this is a great option to try out in your own home.
10. Scale-Like Black Tiles
Next up, we have this scale-inspired black tile floor that is truly eye-catching. This floor not only looks like a snake's skin but also has a multi-shaded reflection to it that we can't get enough of. We think this could be an excellent option for anyone looking for a high-end and one-of-a-kind bathroom floor design.
11. Gold Grouted
Another way to use black tile in your bathroom is by choosing a gold grouted design similar to this flooring. This bathroom is a stand-out on the list and feels like New York City from top to bottom. A great way to accessorize a space like this would be to keep a gold theme with your fixtures and decor.
12. African Inspired
Coming in at twelve, we have this unique black tile option that has an African look to it. This bathroom floor feels full of culture and will make for a hot topic of conversation between you and your guests.
We especially love how this space chose to incorporate other neat details in the lighting and storage.
13. White Bordered Hexagon
Adding a little color to the group, we have this white-bordered hexagon tile idea that we are living for. This is not an entirely black tile floor but does use the color predominantly and is an excellent option for anyone not sold on a completely black look. We could also recommend using a grey or lighter black shade for your borders if the white stands out too much for your liking.
14. Wicker Placed Tile Design
Following the white accented theme, we have this wicker patterned black tile design that is truly unique. We have not seen a black tile floor similar to this in many bathrooms, so for anyone searching for a one-of-a-kind look, this is the perfect option for you. We also want to note the matching shower floor that complements the white tile walls very nicely.
15. Maze-Like Pattern
Coming in last on our list, we have this stunning maze design that will look great in your bathroom.
This black tile design is yet another white detailed look that feels just a little more cheery when compared to entirely black options and will work to brighten up your floors. If you plan on having white appliances and lighter decor, we suggest going with something similar to this look.
The Wrap Up
Finding black tiles for your bathroom floors can feel like an uphill battle if you don't do some pre-design planning. Whether you are going for a neutral semi-matte look or want to spice things up with marble detail, you've got plenty of great options. From gold grouted tiles to truly unique African-inspired designs, having black tile floors in your bathroom is anything but boring.
We suggest incorporating lighter fixtures or appliances when working with black tile floors to brighten up your room without losing that dark, edgy aesthetic we all know and love. Remember to focus on the little details like grout color and pattern when choosing your floor, and enjoy your new beautiful bathroom space!

When the time comes to renovate your small bathroom, there are many things to consider: Should you stick with bright colors? Is it time to ditch that bulky tub? Can large tiles work in a small space? Designing a small bathroom means you'll have to be clever and purposeful with every decision, and your bathroom's tile is one of the first things you'll notice when you step into the room.
Here are some examples of how tile can be used for specific design effects in small bathrooms.

Diagonal Tile Pattern for Visual Interest
The Glitter GuideNot only does this modern bathroom from The Glitter Guide feature have a tall mirror that helps to extend the space, but the subtle, glossy subway tile is laid in a herringbone pattern, drawing your eye to the longest part of the room.
It also provides an element of refreshing surprise, since a diagonal pattern with subway tile is unexpected. Don't be afraid to experiment with different tilework patterns, just make sure to plan ahead. When it comes to small spaces, there's little room for error.

White and Black for Drama
Studio McGeeThe black hexagon tiles in this grayscale bathroom from Studio McGee are not for the faint of heart, but they are the perfect anchor for a classy and sophisticated space with white subway tile covering the lower walls. We love any excuse to use moody floral wallpaper, especially in small spaces. Floor-to-ceiling tile work can sometimes make a small space feel claustrophobic, so consider tiling only partway up the wall, as seen here.

Chevron Stripes for Contrast in White Bathroom
Donna Dotan Photography / HouzzSimilar to a diagonal pattern, chevron stripe tile work visually elongates the space, adding a sense of depth.
This bathroom photographed by Donna Dotan Photography looks much larger than it is, partially due to the chevron stripe floor tiles and the stark white color palette, which doesn't contribute any visual clutter. The glass shower door further helps to create a more fully open and airy space. -

Large, Light-Colored Tiles Brighten a Dark Room
Rooms for Rent BlogThe large beige floor tiles laid in a plain stack-bond pattern, as shown in this elegant bathroom from Rooms for Rent Blog, keep things simple and act as a subtle base for the black wainscoting. The light-colored tiles help reflect more light and widen the space in a room dominated by dark hues.

Floor-To-Ceiling Mosaic Tiles Add Height
Style CuratorThough we've said that larger tiles can create the illusion of more space, that doesn't mean you have to forgo using smaller mosaic tiles. This enviable powder room from Style Curator uses small hexagon tile work to draw the eye upward toward the ceiling and open up the space.
Plus, the floating vanity takes up less square footage than a conventional one while cutting down on the clutter factor. -

Stretch-Bond Pattern for Classic Appeal
@beckiowens / Instagram
Despite its small size, this sleek bathroom spotted on Becki Owens's Instagram is big on style. There are many different tiles used in this room, which add a lot of visual interest and distract from the smallness of the space. The stretch-bond pattern used on the walls is a great choice—it avoids the claustrophobic feel that a grid pattern can sometimes create, and also visually extends the wall space.

Glossy Wall Tiles Reflect Light
At Home in LoveThough glossy tiles are a no-no for the bathroom floor, using them on walls can reflect even more light and make a small bathroom feel spacious. The pale green tiles used in this simple bathroom from At Home in Love are just glossy enough to create the feel of a larger bathroom without looking dated.

Floor Tiles Extended Into Shower
Deuce Cities HenhouseRather than changing up the floor tiles in the shower stall, the designer of this chic bathroom from Deuce Cities Henhouse extends the floor tiles through the entire room. This creates a seamless, uniform design that expands the visual feeling of the space.

Bold Graphic Tiles to Make a Statement
Suzy HoodlessGraphic tiles can make a bold statement—and the Escher-like pattern in this jazzy bathroom from Suzy Hoodless is definitely bold. But it works because it's used with restraint, being used only on the floor and partway up the sink wall. Limited use is a good guideline to follow when using graphic tiles—if you take them all the way to the ceiling, they'll quickly become overwhelming and disorienting. The visual effect of extending the floor tile partway up the wall tends to elongate the space.

Black Floor Tiles for Contrast
Reena Sotropa
Just as a room with highly patterned wall calls for a light-colored floor, white walls may call for a dark floor.
This cozy little bathroom from Reena Sotropa may be small, but it doesn't feel cramped. The small black mosaic tiles would feel overwhelming if used throughout the walls, but by keeping them confined to just the floor, the rest of the room feels airy and light. -

Large Tiles Can Work
Cathie Hong
Conventional wisdom says that small spaces call for small tiles—but think again. Large tiles can actually trick the brain into thinking the space is bigger than it is. This cozy bathroom from Cathie Hong does just that, where the patterned floor tile add visual interest, and the large subway tile on the walls form a uniform setting for rest of the bathroom's decor.

White Tiles to Create Openness
Gray Space Interior Design
White surfaces make a space feel more open, and nowhere is this more true than in bathrooms with wall and floor tile. In this bathroom from Gray Space Interior Design, white subway tiles installed in a classic stretch-bond pattern combine with dark gray floor tiles to create a surprisingly spacious feeling.
