The latest bathroom tile designs include large-format tiles for a clean yet contemporary look, 3D textured tiles for dimension, and mosaic pattern tiles for distinctive accents. Alongside contemporary interpretations of old-school subway tiles with glossy surfaces, earthy tones such as terracotta and pastel are gaining immense popularity.
Choose the appropriate tile size according to the bathroom space and look. Smaller sizes are recommended in small bathrooms to avoid crowding in the bathroom. Larger tiles are ideal for large bathrooms and result in a seamless look and a larger feel of the room. Tile size must go with the layout and design of your bathroom.
Use patterned floor tiles for small bathrooms. Playing with patterns on the walls, such as herringbone or vertical stripes, will make a space a little more fabulous. Also, lighter-coloured tiles reflect more light to open up a room, making it look like it is larger.
Neutral tones such as white, grey, and beige are ideal. Use emerald green and navy blue to create a polished, rich, striking design. It is harmonious and well-balanced to layer darker colours with lighter accents.
The use of tile mixing and matching can give depth and visual interest. To mix and match, large rectangular tiles can be used on the walls along with hexagons as geometric tiles or subway tiles can be used on the floor combined with mosaic tiles. For the sake of having a cohesive design, the colours and patterns need to mesh well.
