70 Bathroom Shower Tile Ideas

Our ancient forefathers around the world took painstaking care to appoint their bathing & spa facilities with only the most stunning tiles, patterns, and inlaid designs, to say nothing of the vibrant array of colors.

A clean and simple space was far from enough; bold hues, intricate schemes, and sprawling mosaics turned a room of everyday use into a luxurious retreat and place of repose. The question, therefore, is: why not do the same for your own bathroom?

From the classic blues and grays of the Pacific to supersaturated Miami tones, these bathroom shower tile ideas are a reflection of your self-care M. O., the colors and textures and sheer inspirational vibes that get you moving in the morning and contribute to your overall well-being. Undulating wave patters evoke a sense of calm and fluidity, while dramatic hexagonal rug layouts add edge to an otherwise overlooked abode.

You can even choose to combine materials, such as marble and tile, for an unforgettable palatial effect. Just as the ancient haute monde understood, your place of cleansing is also your place of purifying; where there is beauty there will no doubt be physical and spiritual restoration.

The opulent homes of today may sport showers fit for a king, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on that much-deserved bit of sumptuousness. It’s time to take your standard shower tile into the realm of the elite, and what better place to start than the floor you stand on and walls you gaze at every day?

When you’re ready to remodel your shower, I’d recommend checking out Houzz.com. You can find thousands of professional contractors there to cover everything you need for turning your idea into reality. You can search professionals in your area and read their reviews before contacting them.

Geometric shapes in basic squares, a monochrome color scheme, and simplistic decorative components makes for a soothing rain shower experience. The stand alone wood sitting piece tops off the look by adding an organic touch.

50+ photos, ideas for finishing the pallet, cabin walls, niches, seats

What type of tile is better to choose?

The finish must not only be beautiful, but also meet certain requirements, have high moisture repellency, chemical resistance, good strength properties and waterproofing, in the form of special grout mixtures that prevent the appearance of fungus and mold. Be sure to look at the article about finishing the bathroom with tiles, where all the nuances are taken into account.

Photo of a shower tray made of tiles

Clinker floor tiles for a self-made shower platform are selected taking into account frequent and prolonged contact with water. For cladding, products are used that have a relief or rough surface and a high rate of slip resistance, which is less traumatic.

The most common design is in the form of a dense, durable, durable and moisture-resistant porcelain stoneware or quartz vinyl finish. Such structures can be rectangular, square, rounded, open without a roof or closed with a podium, walls and a ceiling base. The rimmed tray can be of various heights, deep enough and perfectly functional as a bathtub, which is especially suitable for those who, for example, need to bathe a child.

The photo shows the interior of the bathroom and an open shower made of tiles with a square-shaped shower tray.

Mosaic is also often used in the design of the pallet, which not only easily copes with facing of various shapes, but also makes the surface non-slippery due to the large number of tile joints and joints.

Seat decoration with tiles

Convenient and comfortable steps or chairs integrated into the wall are most often decorated with small tiles or mosaics, most suitable for curved and curved lines.

Examples of shelving and niches in the shower

By finishing the built-in niches and shelves in the shower, it turns out to create truly elegant accents in the interior. For example, you can use dark-colored tiles and thereby give the niches visual depth or choose a contrasting design for the shelves and make them even more decorative.

Pictured is a shower room with niches finished with dark mosaics.

How to tile a shower enclosure without a tray?

In this case, use a lining that contrasts with the overall design of the room, thereby highlighting the shower area, or use the same type of large-format tiles that are suitable for the floor without height differences. Thus, it turns out to visually enlarge the space and give it a very solid appearance.

When arranging this cabin, the main requirement is the sufficient height of the room, since, due to the fact that the shower drain and the pipe that drains water into the sewer must be located below the floor level, with the help of a concrete screed, it is necessary to raise the floor and make a slope in the direction to plum.

The photo shows a toilet combined with a bathtub and a shower room without a tray with a glass door, lined with tiles.

Tile layout options

The classic boar tile laying option is a horizontal arrangement with an offset. To create a non-banal design, you can apply a more complex, but at the same time quite original layout in vertical rows or herringbone. It is also considered very time-consuming to lay tiled products diagonally, which allows you to visually expand the space.

The photo shows a gray boar tile with a horizontal layout with an offset in the shower.

Color range of tiles

The choice of color solution directly depends on the dimensions of the room and its functional planning features. Beige, white, black, gray, green, blue, brown or any other color tile finish, taking into account all the spatial nuances, can harmoniously complement any design.

When using light shades, not predominantly white, it is possible to visually expand the shower and increase in volume. A more inimitable and unique design, as well as the elimination of minor surface defects, can be achieved by alternating tile products of different colors.

Shower designs

Ideas for decorating a shower cabin in various styles

With proper decoration of a shower room, you can create a truly beautiful design for any interior direction, such as loft, provence, country, classic or modern style.

Features of tiling a small shower room

When laying out walls, you can use a horizontal arrangement that visually expands the space or vertical laying that raises the ceiling. On the floor, to increase the area, you can use a square or rectangular tile, laid out diagonally.

Introduction

shower cabins of steel in the bathroom, as they allow the adoption of the arcue. For those owners whose bathroom is limited in size, a cabin with a shower has become a real salvation, since this way you can comfortably wash without a bath. Although there are a large number of plastic shower enclosures on the plumbing market, many people prefer to make a do-it-yourself tile-coated shower tray, or turn to professional tilers for help.
Made at a high level in compliance with all instructions, a tile shower podium will help you qualitatively transform the look of your bathroom. Along with this, you will get more pleasure from using the shower.

Types and features of trays

The main function of the bottom of the shower cabin is to protect the floor from water. There are such main types of pallets that you can buy in the store:

  • Acrylic type - they are inexpensive in price and light in weight. The disadvantage of such models is that they can be scratched, they quickly lose their presentable appearance.

  • Steel - they are very strong, also inexpensive in price, but there is noise when they are used. Also, these types of pallets can be slippery.

  • Ceramic trays or similar real stone models - highly durable, aesthetically pleasing, but expensive, heavy in weight and impossible to repair.

Store-bought shower trays of this kind are quick to install, waterproof and do not require any "dirty" work to install. But at the same time, do-it-yourself tiled shower designs allow for greater freedom of imagination.

Benefits of creating a shower enclosure from tiles


Charon Gray

Creating your own shower enclosure from tiles has the following positive aspects:

  • There is an opportunity to save on the purchase of the entire shower cabin.

  • Customize your shower tray according to your choice of size and shape.

  • Shower material with low water absorption properties can be selected for cladding Water absorption An indicator of how much water can be absorbed by a material without destroying the surface.
    .

  • The finish of the shower tray can be matched to the overall style of the entire bathroom.

  • You choose the fittings for your shower cabin that suit you.

  • A comfortable shower enclosure can be made to order.

  • Easy to clean – ceramic tiles are easy to clean.

Choice of materials


The choice of materials for the shower platform must be carefully selected. It is better to make a list of all the necessary materials in advance.
Among all pallets for tiles, 3 main types are distinguished by design:

  1. Made of bricks

  2. Monolithic

  3. Podium with wooden frame

The third type of shower platform is more suitable for wooden country houses. For the conditions of the apartment, the first two types of pallets are more suitable. The stages of their manufacture are generally the same and differ only in some details. Brick pallets are made of brick with a reinforced mesh, monolithic pallets are made of concrete, also with reinforcing elements. In both types, you can notice a slope towards the drain part. It is also allowed to use thermal insulation for monolithic pallets.

It is worth deciding what the foundation of the tiled podium will be made of. Here they choose either bricks or concrete on a sand-cement screed. We must not forget about the materials for waterproofing. Masters recommend choosing compositions with a liquid base that protect against water ingress. Or use combined formulations of a polymer film, as well as liquids.


Alice Crema

Mosaic sheets made of fine ceramic tiles are often chosen for the floor of the shower cabin, but you can opt for ordinary ceramics and even porcelain stoneware.

Dimensions and shape


Vega Brown

A big plus of a shower enclosure with tiles is that pallets can be made in various shapes. The choice here is unlimited, you can make a rectangular, round, square, oval shape. Or choose a podium in the form of a complex figure. All this allows you to organically fit such a podium into any bathroom design, including even the most sophisticated. But at the same time, it must be borne in mind that the more complex the shape of the pallet itself, the more expensive it will be to buy the desired shape of the walls for such a shower.
The dimensions of a shower tray with tiles directly depend on the dimensions of the bathroom, as well as on the height and weight of those who will use the shower.

You should prefer a 90x90 or 100x100 cm podium. If you choose smaller pallets, there will not be enough space and it will be inconvenient to wash.

There are 3 different pallet heights:

  1. More than 40 cm at the top edge of the threshold;

  2. Less than 40 cm. The height of the threshold-side is in the range from 5 to 20 cm;

  3. Height does not rise above the floor. Such pallets have no sides or are 2-7 cm in height. The design itself looks like a shower without a pallet, although the base of the shower acts in this role.

Tray design


Stubay Onyx Crema

Trays can be made in any color and design. Since the podium and sides are covered with tiles, it depends on its choice how the shower cabin fits into the overall style of the bathroom.

The most common tile glaze surfaces, including those for mosaics, are: , metal, monochrome surfaces of any colors. In the case of tiles, it can also be a mosaic panel with a beautiful pattern.
Glossy tiles or polished porcelain tiles look aesthetically pleasing and reflect light in an interesting way. The photo is not always able to convey the brilliance of a glossy polished surface. But glossy coatings are more suitable for shower walls.

For flooring, consider the matt as well as structured look of the tiled surfaces.
Matte type of glazed tile surface is safer for the floor. It is rough to the touch and therefore slips less. This glaze surface also reproduces many finishes in appearance.
Structured tiles are usually associated with either wood grain or natural stone types. In both of these types of texture, you can notice a relief surface. Usually it is obtained by carving. As a result, the marble surface becomes as similar as possible to such a natural stone. The coating is made with recesses and veins. Such a tile slips even less. It is also excellent for shower floor cladding.

A shower without a tray, or rather without a protruding part of it, is in trend today. Its base is also laid out with plates. Such models can be seen in the photo collections of Venato Calacatta Gold, Eris Gray, Cineria River.

"You need to pay attention that the design of the tray should be combined with the style of the entire bathroom.", says Anastasia Efremova, chief designer of the Laparet website. She also advises:

Sometimes the owners specifically prefer the most impressive
shower design, so that it becomes a decoration of the bathroom. So, if instead of
the shower cabin enclosure will protrude one, two or three walls
of the bathroom, then they can also be laid out with the same tiles as
of the pallet itself. In this case, spectacular accent areas are obtained,
which draw attention to themselves and highlight the shower in the design of the entire
bathroom. This kind of shower lining is shown in the photo in the collections
Musica Green, Leda Black, Europa Gold.

Other features

For podium cladding in the shower, choose tiles with low water absorption Water absorption An indicator of how much water can be absorbed by the material without destroying the surface.
, which does not exceed BI, BII. Here BI indicates water absorption to 3% , and BII - from 3 to 6% . If we talk about porcelain stoneware, then it has the least porous structure of all ceramics due to a special manufacturing technology. This material has a moisture absorption close to zero, that is, equal to 0.15% by weight of the entire board. Therefore, such a material for lining the shower is especially suitable.
It is desirable that the coefficient of anti-slip is The coefficient of anti-slip is R This concept characterizes the properties of porcelain stoneware floor tiles. Determines the risks of human slipping on the surface of tiles in various rooms.

shower floor tiles were not less than R12 .

When choosing tiles for a shower room in an apartment, it is enough if the PEI wear resistance values ​​​​are within I, II class . A big plus of tiled ceramics - tiles and porcelain stoneware compared to other types of finishes is their durability. Tiles can last well for 20 years, while porcelain tiles can last 20 years or more.

Also in an apartment, and especially in a private house, it will be relevant to use a shower tray with tiles in combination with a floor heating system.
The presence of a warm floor, in addition to the comfort when using the shower, helps to restrain the development of the fungus and helps to eliminate high humidity.

When installing this design, special attention must be paid to safety. Warm floors of cable type with a protective screen and insulation are suitable for the shower. At the same time, all devices for controlling underfloor heating should be moved outside the shower tray and bathroom in order to minimize the influence of a humid environment on them.

Stages of work


Stages of work consist of:

· Site marking;
Preparatory work;
· Ways to organize the drain in the shower cubicle;
· Waterproofing and drain installation;
Arrangement of sides;
Screed pouring;
Re-waterproofing;
Tiling;
· The final stage.

If the base is a concrete screed or just a concrete covering, then further work becomes easier. In most houses, just such a coating is found. Therefore, you can immediately start laying out the sides after cleaning the base. When the base is made of wood or it is simply uneven, then at the initial stage you will have to start creating a rough screed.

To carry out the work you will need the following tools:

· Laser level;
building level or rule;
Tape measure, pencil, ruler;
Construction trowel;
Notched and rubber spatulas;
Waterproofing materials;
Cement-sand mortar;
Ladder or gutter, drainage pipes;
Bricks and formwork boards;
Tile adhesive;
Grout mix;
Drill with mortar attachment or construction mixer;
Facing tiles;
· Crosses, SVP SVP Tile leveling system for laying on floors and walls.

Marking the site for the construction of the pallet

First you need to measure the entire bathroom and decide where it is best to place the shower. Next you need to make a drawing. You also need to consider the location of the pipes for supplying and draining water. It is better to place a tile shower tray closer to the communications system and away from the entrance.
It should also be taken into account that it is convenient to build a shower platform in the corner of the bathroom. Then you will need to buy only two walls for the subsequent shower enclosure. Ideally, a shower tray is placed in a niche, but in Russian houses such niches in the bathroom can be found infrequently. For a niche, you only need to buy a front shower enclosure.

Mark on the drawing:

  • What will be the shape and dimensions of the shower platform;

  • Will the shower tray have rims and what height;

  • Where the drain and communications systems will be located.

The shower tray must then be marked.

In this case, it is worth taking into account the dimensions of the boards so that they have to be trimmed less. Well, if you can design the podium so that its bottom will consist of a whole number of slabs or sheets of mosaic tiles. For this, the “dry” layout of the tiles will help. You simply pre-lay the shower tray with bricks and tiles, taking into account the communication systems and the dimensions of the joints. Next, write down the resulting dimensions.

Preparatory work

At the preparatory stage, you need to prepare the base for the installation of the shower tray.
You can start by removing the old layer of tiles. Then it is better to take care of the waterproofing of the base under the screed for the shower tray. The shower tray will also be waterproofed in the future, but it will not be superfluous to apply a layer of waterproofing under the screed. For waterproofing, a polymer film, roofing material, bitumen, mastic are used. You can also cover the gaps with moisture-resistant agents and glue a hydrophobic tape around the perimeter. At the same time, it is possible to treat with a waterproofing composition the lower parts of the adjacent walls up to the height of the future sides.


Waterproofing the entire wall in the shower enclosure

Then the rough screed itself is poured. The rough screed is made from a mixture of cement and sand in a ratio of 2: 1. Ready-made mixtures are also sold immediately, which dry faster than cement ones.

Rough screed work consists of the following steps:

  1. Drain into the sewer system.

  2. Formwork is placed in the form of a podium, where the screed is then poured. Formwork, also called a deck or formwork system, is a form-building structure made of wooden boards or metal parts. It is used if it is necessary to give the correct geometric shape to the poured building mixture. It is possible to do without formwork if the floor is poured during repairs for the entire bathroom.

  3. The screed structure is reinforced with a reinforcing metal mesh.

  4. Prepare a cement-sand mixture for screed. To reduce weight, expanded clay is added to the solution.

  5. Mark the height of the screed on the formwork system.

  6. The screed is poured, then leveled with a rule or trowel.

Such works take on average one working day. It takes several days for the screed to dry. It is only necessary to proceed to the next stage of installing the shower tray when the screed is completely dry and hardened.

Ways to organize a drain in a shower stall

In a shower room, either a shower drain or a shower tray is used to drain.
The body of the drain is of a non-removable type, it is placed in the floor screed. Through it, water flows from the shower into the sewer. If the system is installed correctly, the drain collects debris and does not allow the smell from the sewer to pass. The last function in the design of the ladder is performed by the siphon, which is also called the "shutter".

There are three types of siphons:

· Wet - also called "water seals", they work on the principle of "water lock". Suitable for the shower, which is used at least twice a week.
Dry - these siphons are supposed to have a membrane that allows water to pass into the sewer, but does not allow air to pass from there. Such shutters are used in the shower area, which is not often used and therefore this design is less common.
· Combined - such siphons are equipped with both a water seal and a membrane. Therefore, they provide the most reliable protection.
When choosing a siphon suitable for your shower room, it is best to consult a specialist.
The ladder is made in a round shape in the form of a snail with a decorative overhead grille on top.

There are 2 types of sewage supply at the drain:

  1. Vertical - the drain hole should be located at the bottom of the pan, the water drains faster.

  2. Horizontal - the drain system is located on the side at the same level as the drain. Water leaves less quickly than a vertically located sewer supply.

The shower tray is a similar design, but there are differences. The design for collecting moisture is elongated, it is a narrow channel of the longitudinal type with a length of 30 to 120 cm. There is an overlay or grate on top. Due to the larger area, the tray collects liquid faster. It has high throughput.
The ladder is more expensive, but it is considered more reliable. The shower tray collects moisture well, but over time it needs to be changed, so it cannot be drowned in the screed, like a shower drain.

Drainage means that water will flow through the pipes without stagnation. Therefore, for a shower cabin, it is better to choose a vertical drain with a pipe system leading to the sewer at an inclination of 5 cm.
The drain can be installed in the middle of the pallet or offset to one of the sides.

Waterproofing and installation of the drain

A primer layer is applied to the rough screed. A waterproofing layer is applied again from above. Such multi-stage waterproofing allows you to create reliable protection against flooding of the lower floors. At the same time, it is possible to protect surfaces from excess moisture.

Installing the drain consists of the steps:

  1. Mount the drain - it is better to use plastic drain pipes, since this material is light and easy to install, it is not afraid of moisture.

  2. If insulation is expected, then the base for the shower tray is insulated - for this, solid polystyrene foam is used, it is laid along the perimeter of the side.

  3. Assemble and install the gangway - while it can be immersed in insulating polystyrene foam.

  4. The edges of the ladder are adjusted to the building level - you can fix the ladder with alabaster so that it is fixed and does not move.

It is necessary to responsibly approach the assembly of the ladder and try not to make mistakes. If a problem arises with this drain device in the future, you will have to disassemble the entire structure.

Fitting the rim

The rim or threshold for the shower tray can be made in several ways. When making a pallet with your own hands, the easiest way to make it is with a brick side.
Before installation work, it is better to mark the floor, as well as on the wall. It is recommended to choose moisture resistant bricks M125. For laying use cement-sand mortar. The structure is reinforced with metal mesh.
The second option is to give the side a shape by installing the formwork from boards or fiberboard and pour the sand-concrete mixture into it. It also uses parts of the reinforcement or a mixture of fibers for concrete as reinforcement.
This formwork is installed even before pouring the rough screed.
It is also recommended to make thresholds with rounded shape, which makes them safer.

Pouring the screed

After creating the thresholds, proceed to pouring the main internal screed.

Here are the stages:
· Beacons are placed on the base and fixed with mortar;
· Use a spirit level to check how flat the surface is. The slope of this surface is also taken into account;
Mix the mortar and pour the finishing screed. The angle of inclination to the drain hole is adjusted with a trowel or spatula.

Re-waterproofing

A screed that has hardened sufficiently should be re-waterproofed. After that, it needs to be leveled.

To do this, take the following steps:

  • The pallet cover is treated with waterproofing materials.

  • A waterproofing compound is also applied to the inside of the rim.

  • After the waterproofing compound has dried, a self-levelling type compound can be used for the surface of the pallet.

  • Next process the drain pan to more rounded shapes to increase the drain speed.

Tiling

The process of tiling with ceramic tiles consists of the following steps:

It is important to choose the right tile adhesive, since further operation of the tile will take place in a humid environment. It is important to choose an adhesive with a high level of adhesion so that the tile adheres as well as possible to such an adhesive solution. Often on the packaging it is immediately indicated that such glue is suitable for use in pools and showers. If you are gluing porcelain stoneware, it is also important to choose an adhesive specifically designed for porcelain stoneware.

All information on the preparation of tile adhesive is written on the packaging, including the proportions in which the adhesive mixture must be mixed with water. Mix the solution with a drill with a special nozzle or a construction mixer.

  • On the reverse side of the tile, glue is applied evenly and the tile is placed in one of the corners of the pallet. The bottom of the pallet is in an inclined position, respectively, the plates will also take an inclined position. Tiles should be in the same plane.

  • Plastic crosses are inserted between the boards for smooth seams. SVP also allows you to level the level of all plates in height.

  • After the cladding is laid, the tiles are carefully tapped with a mallet. The presence of empty space under the slab indicates that the adhesive is unevenly distributed under the tiles.

  • In the same way, the installation of ceramic plates on the sides is carried out.

  • Tile cutting is carried out with the help of angle grinder - grinder grinder Angle grinder, the main cutting tool of which is an abrasive grinding disc

    , for porcelain stoneware, depending on the thickness, manual or electric tile cutters are used. Corners are often used for cutting Cutting Washed down the ends at 45 degrees in porcelain stoneware and ceramic tiles.

    .

  • Allow the installed tiles to dry. This requires a minimum of 1 day depending on the adhesive used. When the tile dries, proceed to remove the crosses and SVP SVP Tiling leveling system for laying on floors and walls.

    .

  • The joints can then be grouted. In this case, it is better to use a two-component epoxy-based grout. Excess grout can be removed with a dampened sponge.

Final step

The final step is to wait for the complete drying of the entire finish in order to install the partitions and the shower door.

For faster drying, it is best to keep the bathroom doors open at all times and to ensure adequate ventilation. The temperature in the bathroom is best kept at 25° to 30°.

If these conditions are met, then after two days it will be possible to install walls, as well as a shower door. Cabin walls can also be made of metal profiles and waterproof plywood. At the same time, the finish can be made to match the pallet of ceramic tiles. It is also a good option to install a tempered glass shower enclosure. So the cabin, when looking at it, will merge with the entire bathroom, creating a feeling of spaciousness even in a small bathroom.

Conclusions

A tiled shower tray is always a good solution for a shower in the bathroom. When erecting such a structure, you can choose the design of the tile, the shape and size of the podium yourself. A wide variety of designs and shapes of shower podiums allows you to create a unique design. At the same time, when choosing the shape and size of the pallet, it is necessary to build on, in addition to the stylistic design of the bathroom, also on understanding who will most often use the shower cabin. You can also design the shower tray yourself and decide whether it needs a side and what height it should be.
When it comes to shower tiling, there is usually a choice between tiles and porcelain stoneware. Both materials are durable and reliable, but porcelain stoneware is still superior to ordinary tiles in these parameters. It is important to take into account not only the aesthetic, but also the operational properties of tiled ceramics. It is necessary to take into account the increased humidity of its use and how much the tile will slide. When laying tiles and porcelain stoneware in the shower room, one should not forget about the correct selection of the adhesive mixture so that it has high adhesion and is suitable for a humid environment.


Maia Gray

For the manufacture of the podium, depending on the design, either bricks or only a cement-sand mixture are used. It is important to pay increased attention to waterproofing and carry it out at all stages of the construction of the pallet indicated in the instructions. For draining, you can use a shower drain or an elongated tray. In the case of using a shower drain, you need to be especially careful with the installation, since its device involves placing it in a screed and, in case of errors, you will have to disassemble the entire structure.
