Bathroom Tile Trends

I’ve been designing some bathrooms lately and have come across such cool trends that I had to share them with you all! Here are some amazing things I’m seeing in terms of bathroom tiles:

1. Silver + Bronze. It’s a rare occasion that you see silver and bronze mixed together in one room, but it’s a fabulous way to spice up your bathroom! Whether you have bronze tiles and silver fixtures, or vice versa (or both!) this gives the bathroom a clean, refreshing and metallic effect.

2. Big Floor Tiles + Small Shower Tiles. This is such a unique trend! As you’ll see in the pictures below, 12x24 tiles on the floor and small mosaic tiles covering the shower wall creates a lovely contrast that isn’t often seen in bathrooms.

3. Walls + Stripes. Just like painting an accent wall in a bedroom or living room, you can create an accent wall with tiles in a bathroom! Horizontal stripes are very big right now, and they add some depth to the space.

4. Modern Tile + Herringbone. Creating a beautiful herringbone pattern with modern tiles can really jazz up a bathroom. You can either make the walls or floors herringbone, but don’t get carried away and do both!
