18 Best Tile Ideas for Small Bathrooms
The Spruce / Christopher Lee Foto
Choosing the best tile for a small bathroom renovation or remodel can have an outsized impact on the functionality and style of your space, from the backsplash to the shower to the flooring.
The right tile choice will depend on many factors, including the layout of the room and the style of the space. Your choice of tile size, grout color, finish, and whether you lay tile in a horizontal, vertical, or herringbone pattern all play a role. You can use neutral tile to tone down highly decorative elements like wallpaper, or colorful, textural, or patterned tile to add interest to a minimalist space.
Here are some examples that will help you narrow your options to make the best tile choice for your small bathroom, no matter your style.

Choose Classic Penny Tile
Erin Williamson Design
Penny tile is a classic and time-tested choice for any bathroom but works particularly well in a small bathroom since the tile is small in size and easy to cut to fit the tightest of spaces.
In this Austin, TX bungalow, Erin Williamson Design used penny tile flooring that blends well with the white subway tiles on the shower walls and complements period-appropriate fixtures to create a timeless look.

Run Tile From Walls to Floors
Michelle Berwick Design
Penny tiles can also be used in a modern-style bathroom. Using the same tile on bathroom walls and flooring will create a cohesive look and make a small space seem larger and a large space more spacious, like this penny tile-covered bathroom from Michelle Berwick Design. Black grout gives the white penny tiles a modern edge and complements matte black plumbing fixtures and decor elements.

Use No Fail Subway Tiles

You can never go wrong with versatile, hard-working subway tile. In this small Paris bathroom from Space Factory, floor-to-ceiling white subway tile with matching grout draws the eye upward and creates the feeling of a larger, brighter space.
On the shower floor, a patterned tile in shades of white, black, and gray adds interest without overwhelming the small room. -

Add Horizontal Stripes
K Shan Design
Horizontal stripes make a room feel wider, making them perfect for a small bathroom. The walls of this guest bathroom from K Shan Design are covered in thick stripes of black and white subway tile to create a dramatic effect without breaking the budget, making the space feel bigger to boot. A white shower curtain with large black spots, a black-and-white wall tile, and a white penny tile floor with black grout tie the bold geometric look together.

Use a Staggered Vertical Layout
Design by Cathie Hong Interiors / Photo by Christy Q. Photo
In this small bathroom from Cathie Hong Interiors, pale blue vertical subway-style tiles in a slightly staggered pattern add a hint of color without overwhelming the small space, drawing the eye upward to give the illusion that the ceilings are taller. Covering the front of the built-in bathtub with the same tile heightens the impression.

Accent With Color
Design by Tyler Karu Design and Interiors / Photo by Erin Little
While using the same subtle tile throughout a small bathroom can help it to feel larger, taking an opposite approach can also work.
In this small historic Maine bathroom from Tyler Karu Design and Interiors, decorative patterned tile that picks up the blue-and-white palette of the space adds style and interest to both the floor and a wall niche, proving that a small space is a great blank canvas for making a bold choice and pulling it off with style. -

Use a Herringbone Pattern

Go Large
Fantastic Frank
Large-scale marble effect tiles work surprisingly well in a small space, helping to trick the eye into seeing a seamless slab of stone at a much more affordable price. In this small bathroom from Fantastic Frank, pale white-and-gray marble effect tiles with pale grout create a seamless look that blends in with the white walls and stainless steel appliances to maximize light and space in the compact room.

Contrast Shiny Tiles With Matte Walls
Design and Photo by Malcolm Simmons for Emily Henderson Design
In this small bathroom designed by Malcolm Simmons for Emily Henderson Design, shiny white subway tile on the lower half of the wall reflects light and blends in with the matte white walls to create a seamless look without actually matching. This style creates an illusion, making the space feel bigger and adding subtle variation to the finishes. If you want to add even more shine, go for a full glossy finish.

Louis Duncan-He Designs / Photo by Eymeric Wildling
Louis Duncan-He Designs used white large format tiles with a subtly textured herringbone pattern as a floor-to-ceiling backsplash behind the sink in this small powder room, allowing the adjacent wallpaper wall to be the focal point.

40 Half Bathroom Decor Ideas
There are so many great things about a half bath — or sometimes referred to as a powder room. At first, it may seem an annoyance that these bathrooms are often smaller and tighter spaces, but when you think about it, with less square footage, you can quickly renovate these spaces without spending a ton of money.
This humble space gives homeowners the opportunity to take risks with their decor and get creative. The half bathroom — a room without the “bath” typically contains a sink and toilet and a few feet of room to dress up and decorate.

The half bath is a place where you can take risks and experiment with bold decor ideas.
Statement-making wallpaper is a great start. You don’t have to do the whole bathroom, though. Try adding wallpaper on the wall just behind the mirror or just a small part of the wall.
Daring and dark-colored wallpapers look great in the half bath or powder room.
Photo Credit: Sarah Hayes DesignA popular look is to complete the bottom half of the wall with board and batten or shiplap and then carry the rest of the wall with a patterned wallpaper.
Photo Credit: Terracotta Design BuildPedestal Sinks
A half bath is an excellent spot for a pedestal sink. In most half baths, you are already short on room, so don’t take up a lot of space with clunky vanities; instead, opt for a decorative pedestal sink.
Photo Credit: A List InteriorsGiven that half baths are used mostly for guests and main level use of the washroom, you don’t need a lot of storage in a vanity. Use this is an opportunity to showcase a vintage style with a custom pedestal sink.
As an added bonus, pedestal sinks are easy to keep clean, too!

Play around with bright and bold tile in the half bath. Since it’s a smaller space, it won’t cost you as much for tiles as a regular size bathroom. You can go for those more expensive, decorative pretty tiles without worrying about your wallet.

Photo Credit: The Lifestyled Co.If it’s in the budget, you can choose two different types of tile and do the whole wall. You will notice that blue is a popular color for the bathroom. It’s serene and calming, so you can’t go wrong with a blue tile.

All Of The Above
You get this stunning bathroom when you combine the elements listed above: statement-making wallpaper, pedestal sinks, and bold tile work.
Wall Sconces
An important design element to put thoughtful care and consideration into is choosing lighting fixtures. A half bath is an excellent place for wall sconces. Since the half bath is not your primary bathroom and most people do not use it to get ready and do things like makeup and hair, you can worry more about the style of the lighting fixture and less about whether it provides sufficient light.
Photo Credit: 22 InteriorsA set of matching wall sconces on either side of a mirror is a popular look for most half baths.
Photo Credit: Anne Chessin DesignsYou can also hang a wall sconce above the mirror. You can’t go wrong with a classic farmhouse light.
Photo Credit: Purity DesignsWhile not typically used in a bathroom setting, hanging pendants look fantastic and totally steal the spotlight in this particular half bath.

Sometimes adding a fresh coat of paint can make all the difference in the world.
If you want to add a little punch and pizazz to your half bath, consider painting your window frames to match your decor and design.
White and Neutral
White and neutral half baths are always a classic choice. Everything looks so fresh and clean. A bright and airy half bath is a look that will always be in style.
Photo Credit: Kate Marker InteriorsPhoto Credit: Anne Chessin DesignsBold and Black
One may think that black is not a wise choice for a small bathroom, but it can certainly be done. These half baths prove that you don’t have to limit your half bathroom to just neutrals. They are bold and daring without going overboard.

Shake things up from the traditional two-door style bathroom vanity and go with an open-bottom vanity. This will give you more room for decor, and since you don’t store a lot in a half bath, you won’t miss the space anyway.
Bright and Daring Colors
Go big and bright in the half bath. Below are some bold color choices, and while these are not for everyone, you can’t deny that these bright and cheery bathrooms would impress any guest.
Photo Credit: DAG DesignPops of yellow, green, and pink are not typical colors for bathrooms, but when it comes to the half bath or powder room, it’s fun to experiment and get creative.
Photo Credit: Lindsey Black InteriorsBalance out bright and bold colors with touches of white and pastels. They will blend nicely and allow you to have the color without overstimulating the space.
Photo Credit: Laura U DesignIf you’re afraid of how to achieve a nice look with bright colors, try just adding in some pieces of decor without adding in elements that are permanent fixtures. This will give you a small taste of color, and you can see how you feel about it without fully committing.
Stunning Mirror Choices
Go bold and different with your mirror choice in your half bathroom.
Since a half bathroom is not usually where you spend time getting ready, it’s an excellent opportunity to have a little fun with your mirror choice. Since practicality is not at the forefront, you can choose a mirror that is more about style and decor than about function.
Ratan is a stunning choice for a mirror and blends flawlessly for those that are after a bohemian feel to their half bathroom.

Photo Credit: Edyta and Co.Use your mirror in your half bath to play with different textures and looks. A mirror is not a costly commitment and is something that can be changed at a later date if you get bored or overstimulated with the look.
This scalloped frame mirror makes a bold statement thanks to its eye-catching design and daring blue shade.

Modern and trendy designers are now gravitating toward wall-mounted faucets in the bathroom, particularly in half baths where counter space is often in short supply.
Photo Credit: Studio Thomas JamesBy mounting the faucets on the wall, homeowners can salvage their little counter space for decor or other items.
Photo Credit: Erica Bryen DesignWall-mounted faucets are also much easier to keep clean, so that’s a nice bonus!
Photo Credit: Hazel and Brown DesignWall-mounted faucets are available in so many different styles, colors, and fixtures. You are sure to find one that suits your taste and style.

Like the wall-mounted faucet, you can also opt for a wall-mounted sink in the half bath.
This is especially perfect for powder rooms and half baths that are really tiny. Save floor space by installing a wall-mounted sink.
Often, wall-mounted sinks are smaller than traditional sinks in overall size and can be ordered in lots of different colors, or you can even paint them yourself.

Say goodbye to traditional porcelain and do something really different — a concrete sink!
Since a half bath is not used for doing everyday tasks like brushing teeth and washing faces, a concrete sink is best reserved for spaces like these.

When we say startling, we mean that in a good way. This eye-catching patterned tile design for the floor is a bold but gorgeous statement. Perfect for a small half bath!

Tips for Decorating a Very Small Half Bath
If your half bath is on the extra small side, here are some quick tips to keep in mind to make the most of decorating this space:
- Keep colors light and neutral
- Mirror a wall (The reflection of light will do the same good work a window does)
- Backlight your mirror
- Use floor-to-ceiling tile (This will elongate the space)
- Opt for a pedestal sink or a tiny corner sink
- Amplify your space with high gloss paint that reflects light
- Use stylish open shelving
- Install a wall-mounted faucet
- Keep the clutter to a minimum – a half bathroom doesn’t need a ton of stuff, so don’t overcrowd it.
- Bring in fresh scents – when using fragrances in the bathroom, pay attention to what season you’re in. Christmas, spring, fall, etc.
- Keep up on switching out linens and towels – dirty used hand towels will give a dingy look to your bathroom, so make sure you are switching these out regularly.
- Update your bath mat or rug – same as the towels; you don’t want dingy, dirty carpets in the bathroom.
- Add in some greenery – warm up your bathroom space with fresh greenery. It can be faux or real; it doesn’t matter.
- Introduce some art to the space – without art, a bathroom can feel cold and empty.
Frequently Asked QuestionsFAQ
What is the purpose of a half bathroom?
A half bathroom is a small bathroom that contains only a toilet and a sink. They are sometimes called guest bathrooms or powder rooms. There is no shower or tub in a half bathroom; in most homes, it is located on the first floor.
Having the half bath on the first floor permits guests to use the facilities without feeling as though they have invaded your home. The half bath or powder room is usually very small, conveniently discovered, and seldom contains a window.
What should be in a half bathroom?
A half bathroom sometimes referred to as a powder room, typically consists of a toilet, sink, and mirror.
Having an under-sink cabinet or another storage area for extra toilet paper, hand towels, and soap is optimal, but these things can be stored elsewhere if the space is tight.
What items should you keep in a guest half bath?
If you're having guests who will be using the half bath, you want to ensure that it is well stocked with toilet paper, hand soap, and hand towels. Make sure that extra toilet paper is accessible and easily seen. A lack of toilet paper is embarrassing when someone is visiting your home.
How do you make a half bath feel cozy?
To cozy up a half bath, add a bath mat or rug. Make sure that there are plenty of hand towels and cute decorative soap bottles, and you can even add personalized bathroom signs. To make the space extra cozy, make sure it smells nice. You can use plug-in diffusers or essential oils.
How do you make a half bath look fancy?
Consider using gold fixtures if you're after a fancy vibe for your half bath or powder room.
Working in gold faucets, mirrors, and wall sconces will immediately level up to a more luxurious look and style.
Where did the term \"powder room\" come from?
The term powder room originated around the 18th Century. The powder room was considered a closet-sized room where people applied extra powder to their wigs. The Victorian times kept the term \"powder room\" to discreetly excuse oneself.
You may be familiar with the euphemism \"powdering your nose,\" — as some women still refer to the half bath as the powder room when they use this phrase.

Black metal profiles in tiles and walls give originality and graphics. We thought for a long time how to divide the two bathrooms according to their purpose. And they decided instead of the traditional division into the master bathroom and the guest bathroom as follows: the boys' bathroom - for dad and son, and the girls' bathroom - for mom and daughter. To your attention - the Girls' bathroom. White chevrons were made behind the sink. The color of the rest of the walls was matched to the color of the porcelain stoneware chosen for wall cladding behind the bathroom, and above 240 cm they were painted in a pleasant gray color. The bright ceiling light can be turned off, leaving only intimate lighting in the ceiling above the bath.

The only color detail was the wooden countertop under the sink, for durability it was covered with 5 layers of varnish. In the shower cabin, given the absence of a bathtub, we tried to create maximum comfort: built-in acoustics, hydromassage jets and a seat for relaxing. The moldings on the walls seem to be the same as in the rooms - but here they are made of acrylic stone.

Children's bathroom - a bold positive interior that stands out from other rooms with bright colors.
We covered one of the bathroom walls with an author's eight-bit print from the German art studio E-boy. In the composition with the washbasin, we made a storage cabinet with a front made of bright yellow glass. On one of the walls, we have preserved a fragment of the original brickwork, the relief of which is illuminated by warm illumination.
Tiles for a small bathroom
Table of contents:
Small spaces dedicated to bathrooms can be seen very often in modern design apartments.
To visually increase the area of the bathroom, you need to choose the right colors and materials for interior decoration.
Selecting color shades for the room is a very important undertaking, as the colors and patterns of finishing materials must be combined to create an excellent interior.
It makes the bathroom comfortable, creating a pleasant environment in which to relax while taking a bath.
In order to expand the bathroom, you need to make a complete remodeling of the room.
This is a rather costly undertaking, associated with some difficulties, at the time of the internal work. The best way to expand the area is to expand it visually with tiles.
Choice of finishing material
For a bathroom with a small area, it is necessary to choose tiles for interior decoration in the following categories:
- Tile color and pattern.
- Finishing tile size.
- The material from which the finishing tiles are made.
When decorating a small bathroom, it is best to use medium-sized tiles, which cause a visual increase in space and area. For this purpose, it is best to purchase ceramic tiles measuring 200x300 mm.
It is possible to visually expand the space in height, length and width of the room. It is necessary to know at the same time that the visual effect depends on the shape of the pattern with which the tiles are laid out.
If the bathroom needs to be extended upwards, it is best to lay the rectangular tiles vertically. To increase the visual area in different directions, the tiles are laid out horizontally. In this case, you need to focus on the original dimensions of the bathroom.
Shape of the room and selection of tiles
The size of the tiles for a small bathroom depends on the shape of the room.
For this, it is necessary not to use dark shades, but also to lay tiles of a rather large size on the walls: 150x300 mm, 300x600 mm, 450x450 mm, 300x300 mm, 600x600 mm.
The color shades of the finishing material must be light tones. This will create the visual effect of a spacious room. For a square area, tiles are best used in a square shape.
Suitable material size 300x300mm, 450x450mm, 500x500mm. The main thing to know: due to the correct arrangement of colors, the bathroom becomes more extended.
Shades of color
It is commonly believed that for finishing a small bathroom, it is better to choose a shade of white, but this theory is not entirely true.
With a lot of white shades in the room, the bathroom looks too simple, with a boring atmosphere, while many people associate it with a hospital ward.
I would also like to note that the effect of the visual expansion of the room will not be visible, only the illumination of the room will increase. You need to know that white color goes well with other light colors and tones.
Design experts do not recommend using dark colors in small bathrooms, as they can be too depressing, this leads to a visual reduction of space in the room.
If suddenly the owner wishes to finish the interior of the bathroom in dark shades, for this it is best to choose not very gloomy shades. This will make it possible to give depth to the bathroom.
