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.

Try a Starburst Tile Design
Ashley Montgomery Design
This wonderful bathroom from Ashley Montgomery Design is the perfect combination of modern and trendy. By keeping the walls and the vanity simple and neutral, the designer is able to experiment with the shower and floor tiles and create a load of visual interest with this starburst pattern.

Floor-to-Ceiling Tiles
burcharddesignco / Instagram
Though this look will cost a bit more, pulling your tile all the way to the ceiling is a great way to give your bathroom an elevated look and feel. This elegant design from burcharddesignco features a standard subway tile with black grout that looks dramatic and beautiful against the black tile floor. Black grout lines pull the eye in and work best in a larger bathroom to create a focal point in the space.

A Seamless Chevron
Charlie Interior Design
Laying tiles in a chevron pattern is a lovely way to mix it up and create a bit of texture in your bathroom. We love this bathroom from Charlie Interior Design that features a tiled floor and wall with gray and white tiles that are just different enough to create delineation.
-

Go Dark for Depth
Chelius House of Design
This wonderful open concept shower from Chelius House of Design features a rich, dramatic black tile that creates the illusion of more space in the bathroom. Black tiles work on the floor or the wall, but be sure to pick a contrasting color for the rest of the room to avoid your bathroom feeling too dark or drab.
-

Lay Subway in a New Way
Cathie Hong Interiors
Subway tile is a classic choice for bathrooms, but just because it's a popular tile doesn't mean you have to go the standard route.
Check out this beautiful bathroom from Cathie Hong Interiors that features a pearl-colored subway tile laid in a crosshatch design. This is a great way to mix things up but still keep your bathroom classic. -

Opt for a Graphic Tile
Erin Williamson Design
Want an eye-catching look that instantly becomes the focal point of your bathroom? This black and white graphic design from Erin Williamson Design is a great way to update a bathroom and give it a whole new look and feel. Even if you only update the floor or backsplash, a bold tile like this one will transform your space.
-

Add Wallpaper
homebypolly / Instagram
We love these square subway tiles from homebypolly, and they play beautifully with the graphic yellow wallpaper throughout the rest of the wall. Tile is expensive, so if your budget doesn't allow for floor-to-ceiling tiles, you can still get the same drama by adding wallpaper beyond your tilework.
-

Add Color
Jessica Nelson Interior Design
This moody aquamarine hexagon tiles from Jessica Nelson Interior Design are giving off major mermaid vibes in the best way. A rich, colored tile is a great choice in any style bathroom, but be sure to keep the rest of the space fairly neutral to allow the tiles to take center stage. Here, the tiles are paired with a natural wood vanity that doesn't clash with the bold colors in the shower.
-

Opt for Large Floor Tiles
Design: KG Designs
Photography: Heidi Culver
Large tiles, like the ones seen in this bathroom from KG Designs, require fewer grout lines and therefore make a bathroom feel larger and more spacious. Though this stunning bathroom is already large, these tiles are a great choice in a smaller bathroom as well if you want to create the illusion of more space.
-

Try Monochromatic Tiles
lemonleafhomeinteriors /Instagram
This stunning luxury renovation from lemonleafhomeinteriors features floor-to-ceiling tiles in various sizes, but all within the same color family.
The varying sizes help to add visual interest while the similar color scheme keeps things uniform and classic. If you want a spa-like bathroom, but don't want it to feel too coordinated, mix up the tile sizes throughout the room.
-

Marble Tiles
Michelle Boudreau Design
This elegant bathroom from Michelle Boudreau Design not only features wonderful gold finishes, but also uses a subway marble tile that exudes old-world charm and class. Marble is a great material in nearly any bathroom and a great way to elevate the whole look.
-

Try a Moroccan Tile
Design: Mindy Gayer
Photography: Lindsay Stetson Thompson
Can you imagine washing away your week's stress in this bathroom from Mindy Gayer? We love the blend of old and new with the pure white subway tile wall paired with a vintage-inspired Moroccan tile floor. This gives the space personality while still keeping it relatively neutral and calming.
-

A Bold Chevron
the_girl_with_the_green_sofa / Instagram
We've already said how much we love subway tile laid in a chevron pattern, but this bathroom from the_girl_with_the_green_sofa takes the look to the next level with a bold chevron floor that is eye-catching in the best way. Because the rest of the bathroom is paired down and subtle, with black and white finishes, it allows the floor to really take center stage.
-
15 of 32
Try Clay Tiles
hallie_and_harrisons_house / Instagram
There's so much about this bathroom from hallie_and_harrisons_house that we love. From the vertical stack bond laid subway tile to the frameless shower to the warm clay tile floor, we can't get enough of how beautiful this space is. Clay tiles are naturally resistant to mold and bacteria, so they're a great choice in a bathroom.
-

Blue Tiles and a Pebble Floor
gracecottagehhi / Instagram
Check out this beautiful bathroom from gracecottagehhi that features a wonderful, sea-inspired blue subway tile paired with a pebble floor to give it a coastal vibe we love.
If you're lucky enough to have such a wonderful skylight in your bathroom, you'll have enough natural light to avoid colored tiles from feeling too dark. -
17 of 32
Pick a Color Palette
edwardian_seaside_home / Instagram
This lovely bathroom from edwardian_seaside_home features a blue and yellow color palette that's maintained throughout the tile floor and the standing clawfoot tub. Pulling an accent color through is a great way to keep the bathroom feeling uniform and purposeful.
-

Go Pink
rainbowsnfairyd / Instagram
Pink has always been a popular color choice for bedrooms, but lately, we're seeing it pop up throughout the whole house. This bubblegum pink bathroom from rainbowsnfairyd with square tiles and black accents is a great way to add a bit of fun into your bathroom renovation.
-

Try Terrazzo
formandbalance / Instagram
This bathroom from formandbalance features a salmon stacked bond subway tile that complements the beautiful terrazzo tile on the wall.
Terrazzo is coming back in style in a big way. It adds a lot of visual interest and because it camouflages blemishes, it is easy to clean. -
20 of 32
Herringbone Subway
thehomeleehouse / Instagram
Not only do we love the mint green hue of the tiles in this bathroom from thehomeleehouse, but we love the herringbone pattern that gives the space a lot of visual interest. A contrasting grout color helps make the lines pop and the pattern even more eye-catching.
-
21 of 32
Hunter Green Tiles
living_at_mereviewbarn / Instagram
These deep, moody green tiles from living_at_mereviewbarn add a layer of drama to this small bathroom. Green is a great choice for bathrooms because it provides a sense of renewal and freshness while adding a bit of creativity. We love how this designer paired the bold tiles with a patterned wallpaper to continue the theme throughout the whole room.
-

Match Different Tiles
vfynes / Instagram
Don't be afraid to mix and match different tile shapes and designs.
When done correctly, mixing patterns can add depth and texture to a bathroom and give it a lot of personality. This bathroom from vfynes features a scalloped tile on the wall and a hexagon-shaped tile on the floor, but because the colors in both play so well together they don't clash, but rather complement each other. -
23 of 32
A Starburst Wall
ck_homestyle / Instagram
Bathrooms are often a great place to experiment with new patterns and styles in your home. This bathroom from ck_homestyle features wonderful aqua starburst wall tiles that work so well with the traditional subway shower and the penny tile floor.
-
24 of 32
Play With Penny Tile
modernly_you / Instagram
On its own, penny tile adds a visual impact to your bathroom because of its small size and extra grout lines that really stand out. But this bathroom from modernly_you takes the penny tile look one step further and adds a fun pattern to the floor.
Because the floor is so striking, the rest of the bathroom can stay fairly minimalist and still feel updated and modern. -
25 of 32
Focus on the Floor
ivoryandbone / Instagram
The only tile in this bathroom from ivoryandbone is the wonderful Moroccan-style flooring. If your budget doesn't allow for endless tile work in your bathroom, focus on just one area, such as the floor, and opt for a visually interesting tile that is strong enough to stand alone in the space.
-
26 of 32
A Leaf Tile
russo_residential / Instagram
Take a look at this lovely bathroom by russo_residential that features a leaf-patterned tile that's as unique as it is beautiful. Though a hand-painted tile like this one will cost you more, it's a great way to add in more design to your bathroom without the use of wall art. Plus, once you splurge on such a beautiful tile, your decorating is basically already done.
-
27 of 32
A Neutral Color Palette
mishkashoe / Instagram
Though this bathroom from mishkashoe features a striking patterned floor tile, the rest of the space focuses on tans and beige hues in a way that keeps the space feeling neutral and tranquil.
Just because you opt for a more visually interesting tile doesn't mean your bathroom can't still feel minimalist and soothing. -
28 of 32
Small Wall Tiles
milesminnophotography / Instagram
While we typically see small hexagon tiles like these from milesminnophotography in flooring or showers, we love how beautiful they look as a backsplash against this elegant blue vanity. This look is better for a larger bathroom, as a smaller tile will leave you with a lot of grout lines that could look busy in a small bathroom.
-
29 of 32
Try a Wooden Tile Look
ann.living / Instagram
Wood flooring gives off the feeling of warmth and comfort, but it can lead to mold and bacteria in a bathroom. Instead, consider a porcelain tile like this one from ann.living, which features a wood look. The tiles here are larger than standard ceramic tiles to mimic wood planks, while the chevron pattern adds a touch of visual interest.
-

Rich Navy Tile
doingupduke / Instagram
Navy blue is a great color to create a space that feels elegant and traditional. This bathroom from doingupduke features a deep navy blue subway tile with dark grout lines that is utterly stylish. It's paired with a blue and gold animal print that plays wonderfully with the tiles.
-

Create a Floral Design
gretchenblack / Instagram
This bathroom from gretchenblack features a lovely penny tile floor with a floral pattern that's sweet and simple to replicate. Though penny tile can be a bit of work to lay, adding a simple pattern like this one is an easy way to add a bit more visual interest to the tiles without a lot of hassle.

Scalloped Tile
indiaholmslice / Instagram
Take a look at this bathroom pictured by indiaholmslice that features a scallop-shaped tile wall. We love using scalloped tiles anywhere you want to create an impact.
They're unique and visually appealing and you can opt for a more neutral color like this pearly gray or go for something more mermaid-inspired like a rich aqua. The 10 Best Bath Mats of 2022 | Tested by The Spruce

Tiles for a small bathroom
Table of contents:
- 1 Choice of finishing material
- 2 Shape of the room and selection of tiles
- 3 Color shades
- 4 Photo tiles for a small bathroom for small bathrooms rooms, perhaps very often seen in apartments decorated in the style of modern design.
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.
Selection 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 tile is 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.
The shape of the room and the choice 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 generally 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.
