One of the most exciting parts of a bathroom renovation is picking the tile. Whether you opt for a classic subway that will never go out of style or try something more unique (such as a mosaic tile), or you want to make an impact with large-scale bathroom tile, the options are endless.
The tile in your bathroom can change the whole look and feel of your space, so it’s important to pick wisely.
Tile is always a great choice for your shower or tub because it’s waterproof and cleans easily. It can turn an otherwise overlooked part of the home into a gorgeous showpiece.
Always take shower and tub tile into account when you plan the rest of your bathroom. You certainly don’t need to match them, but all of the tiles in the bathroom should look like part of a cohesive design.
While you can match your floor and wall tile, it is also a great opportunity to create contrast in a different color, shape or material. An otherwise all-white bathroom pops with a dramatic dark tile floor and vice versa.
If you don’t want to go that bold, try tiling the floor in a coordinating color but use a unique shape, like hexagons or large-format tiles, to create interest.
There are many different options for your bathroom’s color scheme which can make it hard to choose the right one for you. Neutral looks are very popular but if you love bright, bold or dark colors, don’t be afraid to use them.
Just balance a bright color with neutrals. There’s nothing wrong with an all-neutral bathroom, but try to use more than one neutral, like combining grey and white, to keep the look interesting.
And don’t be afraid to make your own rules! As long as the tile and basic elements of the room are not competing with one another, you can play with different colors and accents until it works.
The tiny bathroom, there are ways to make it feel larger than it is. Using one tile on all the walls, floor to ceiling, can help open a space up.
Switching to another tile partway up the wall can visually cut the room off, making it appear smaller.
If you’re using both tile and paint on the walls, using similar colors will help smoothly transition from one space to another without hard stops.
Tiling your shower all the way to the top of ceiling is a similar strategy that gives height to your bathroom.
