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.

Bathroom Tile Idea - Use Large Tiles On The Floor And Walls (18 Pictures)
Tiles are an extremely common feature in bathrooms. They’re easy to clean, fairly straightforward to install, and they look nice.
Installing large bathroom tiles helps the space feel larger than it actually is by having fewer grout lines. Their grandiosity also gives the bathroom a more luxurious feel, and by putting large tiles on the walls, they help to make your bathroom look sleeker and reduce cleaning time.
Today we’re sharing 18 examples of large tiles in bathrooms that create a unique look.

"Sharp-eyed" projects are a thing of the past, and today the flashy interior speaks only of dubious taste.
This does not mean at all that the most visited place in the apartment should be dull, like a cell in a monastery. On the contrary, stylish finishes, successful combination techniques and competent lighting emphasize the fact that the owner follows trends and has an exquisite taste.
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.
Let's deal with each moment in more detail.

Fashionable bathroom design: 9 trends in 2022 (100 photos)
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.

Which is better: porcelain stoneware or ceramic tiles - comparing two materials
When designing a bathroom with tiles, it is important to take into account modern trends (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.

Small tiles in bathroom design never lose their relevance.

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.

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 to diversify the design: herringbone, offset and other options.

In most cases, when you wanted a stylish bathroom, but got the interior "a la 1990s”, in the title role is just a colored tile.
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.

How to use terrazzo tiles in the interior of the bathroom, kitchen and hallway (44 photos)
Size matters when it comes to fashion trends. If the main rule with color and pattern solutions is not to overdo it, then in the format designers choose a vector to the extreme.
Anyone who wants to create a trendy bathroom should be bold. 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.

In fact, this is a continuation of the fashion for imitation of natural materials - now it is also supported in various sizes. Manufacturers do not yet represent this segment too widely.

Bathroom decor with tiles: the latest trends and design novelties 2020 - 2021
Recently, minimalist urban and stylish light Scandinavian design has been rapidly gaining popularity. These two trends in interior design have won the hearts of many owners of modern homes. The loft is gradually moving from cafe interiors to our homes, and the discreet Scandinavian style imposed by IKEA catalogs is increasingly being chosen by designers to decorate modern kitchens and bathrooms.
Both directions are distinguished by their conciseness and practicality. Popular styles
If you have a small bathroom, then it is better to resort to decorating it in a light Scandinavian style. To do this, you will need either a white tile or a very light one. The floor can be decorated in black and white colors. To do this, choose a mosaic, a hexagonal tile or a beautiful tile with an interesting black and white ornament. Often, in the design of a Scandinavian-style bathroom, they use rectangular white tiles that imitate brickwork, and, in dry areas, they do not put it on the entire wall, but end it in the middle of the wall, decorating the end with a beautiful border. The rest of the wall can be painted light blue, purple, grey, turquoise or whatever color you like.
Scandinavian white tiled bathroom
If you have a large bathroom, you can design it in an urban style. As a rule, the creation of such an interior requires walls that imitate "bare" concrete, but you can finish with textured tiles in dark shades, but it is better to use natural stone or porcelain stoneware slabs.
Recently, matte tiles of a fairly large size with the texture of natural stone or wood are gaining popularity. Examples, photos of a bathroom with dark-colored tiles are presented below. Dark urban bathroom interiors
Contemporary shapes and designs of ceramic tiles
Tile is still the favorite material for bathroom decoration. Only the shape, color, ornaments and texture of the tiles change. Recently, a rectangular 60 x 30 cm tile has been used to decorate the bathroom. Natural stone and porcelain stoneware are also in fashion, which has a different shape, but the slab itself is quite large. Such materials are good for decorating large and spacious rooms. The latest trend in bathroom design is the use of marble slabs, see examples of such interiors in the photo.
Marble tiles are in vogue
Warm bathroom decor
If you have a small bathroom, it is better to give preference to light or white tiles of a small size or even use small mosaics for decoration.
Now a small tile imitating brick has become fashionable. Also in trend is glass mosaic, it is used to decorate the area near the sink or shower wall. If you're designing a Scandinavian-style or Art Deco-inspired bathroom/toilet, the floor can be laid out with stylish pixel tiles with geometric black and white patterns. At first glance, it is somewhat reminiscent of a mosaic, but this tile design looks much more interesting. You can find pixel tiles in the catalogs of online stores selling Italian ceramics.

Now the designers are experimenting not only with facts and facts now experiment and are in constant search for new ideas and forms. Therefore, now, when developing a bathroom design, tiles of non-standard shapes and colors are increasingly being used. They are also experimenting with options for laying ceramic tiles.
It is laid out with a herringbone, narrow rectangular plates, different forms of tiles and mosaics are combined in one interior. Hexagon-shaped tiles are back in fashion again. Bathroom interior photos with tiles: a new look at the classic hexagonal tile

In 2020-2021, designs with an application for naturalness and naturalness will remain popular. “Natural” finishing materials such as wood, stone, clay, etc. will be in fashion. Therefore, for the design of modern bathrooms, matte tiles in beige, brown, gray shades with the texture of wood or stone will be used. If funds allow, you can finish the bathroom with natural stone, while laying out the floor and walls with tiles in the same color scheme. Monochromatic designs are very popular right now.

Black and white bathrooms look just as stylish.
For large baths, it is important to use tiles of various shapes and colors to create a visual separation between the wet and dry areas in the bathroom. Black and white bathroom
Italian tile catalogs are increasingly showing scandinavian designs. By choosing a similar colored tile, you can very easily create an interesting and at the same time uncomplicated interior. Just divide the space into zones, lay out one part of the wall with colored tiles with ornaments, and the rest of the wall with classic white tiles. An example of such a tile design in the bathroom, see the photo.

Which bathroom tile to choose?
As already mentioned above, when choosing tiles and finishing materials in general, one should start from the size of the room.
