Five Bathroom Tile Design Ideas

By installing the right bathroom tile design in your bathroom you can enhance not only the elements already present in the room, but you can create a style based on contrasts or on complements that will perfectly illustrate your own life style. Thus, before embarking on a decorative project, it is recommended to have a look at a few design ideas.

1. Full Tile Coverage

The nicest bathrooms to be ever seen are those with walls that are fully covered with ceramic tiles. However, you may think this may be a bit expensive, and yet, there are very good quality ceramic tiles at a reasonable price. If you fear that covering your walls completely will only bring monotony to your bathroom, here are a few tips to bring the designs up by a few notches.

2. Contrasts

The latest fashion in bathroom tile designs is contrasting elements. Obviously, you want your bathroom to be classy and elegant so this doesn’t revolve around contrasting colors. Instead, you can actually use and contrast different sized tiles to enhance the various areas in the room. For example you can use small and narrow tiles on top of your bathroom sink wall, and then contrast them with larger square tiles around the mirror which is usually found on top of the sink. This kind of approach is the latest minimalist trend where there are few actual decorative elements but the tiles themselves will serve the purpose of creating a visual impact.

3. Colors

The color of your tiles is very important because it sets the tone for your room. It is ideal to start with a neutral or light shade such as beige and then add touches of color with accent tiles. Accent tiles can be either in frames or as central tiles. In this way you will add various focal points in the room. You can also add some visual contrasts by using cold color tones for your floor tiles and warmer tones for the wall tiles. This will generally give the impression that the room is larger than it is. 

4. Small Glass Tiles

Furthermore, nowadays, it has become fashionable to employ small glass tiles in a mosaic pattern. This comes in very handy when you are trying to accentuate edges or borders. However, if you want to accentuate your shower you can choose three or four different colored glass tiles and create a pattern that enhances the space in your shower. In fact, glass tiles have been employed on large scale projects and not only on borders. Furthermore, you can mix and match a combination of ceramic and glass tiles in your bathroom. Do not fear to combine elements because it is these “strange” combinations which will give your room it’s edge.

5. Simple Picture Layout

If your bathroom is small and you wouldn’t want to add too many elements because you fear the room might get overdone, you can choose to install a few picture tiles to add some features and focal points. You can buy commercial picture tiles or you can have someone do a custom piece for you so that the picture will have greater meaning to you.

These are the some bathroom tile designs. Remember that in such projects, only your imagination is the limit. So you can take inspiration from such tips and then create your own ideal combination of designs.
