Floor or wall, big or small, our bathrooms are the foundation of a home. It’s where we start and end our days. It’s where we escape for a little extra “me time” before our heads hit the pillow. Our bathroom’s are also one of the few spaces where we can all get a little adventurous with our design. And truthfully, there’s no better way to make an impact than with tile. Here are 7 creative ways to use tile in your future bathroom renovation.
This picture perfect bathroom designed by Michelle Dirkse uses hexagonal tile from Daltile to define each space. Firstly, the boarders inside and outside of the shower stall add visual interest and serve almost like an area rug. Second, the addition of the bold black metal work in the shower helps to draw the eye upwards. This space which was once a bedroom, is now transformed into a modern, tranquil space.
These beautiful cement tiles are the centerpiece of this monochromatic bathroom. By keeping the color palette neutral, it creates the opportunity for bold and unique pattern on the floor. This room is long and narrow, so scale is hugely important here. Larger scale pattern here helps to give the illusion of a wider room.
Less is more with this “V” patterned tile. This bathroom from Banner Day Interiors uses pattern in the shower and simple tiles on the floors to create interest and balance. Where this bathroom truly shines is because of these stunning brass fixtures and a mid-century vanity. Mixing modern with mid-century design creates a beautiful eclectic space.
A mix of warm brass and cool blue tiles are the highlight of this show stopping bathroom. A bright white grout creates contrast and keeps the room feeling fresh and clean. This pearlescent color way adds added interest to this already unique space.
In this bathroom by Sunny Circle Studio, three different tiles and patterns are used to create layers of interest and texture. By keeping the two walls neutral and within the same color family, the blue herringbone shines. This room also uses varying scale to create. As a result, we get a harmonious and luxurious space.
A little whimsy never hurt anybody! These star covered tiles are the focal point of this dreamy bathroom. With stars of all shapes, sizes and orientations, every homeowner can create their own custom pattern. The choice to match the grout to the tile helps create a magical textural effect.
In leu of classic hardwood in a bathroom, why not take advantage of these incredible porcelain dupes? Wood is extremely susceptible to scratches and water damage, which makes porcelain “wood” an ideal solution for the bathroom. Because tile is a harder material than wood or vinyl plank, it is more resistant to scratches, dents, fading, and other types of damage. This space strikes the perfect balance between the warmer brown tones and cooler grays.
What are some of your favorite uses of tile in a bathroom? I hope some of these examples can inspire your next project and provide a bit of eye candy.
