Bathroom tiles have practicality, but this is not necessarily their only purpose. By using a variety of colors, patterns, and positions, there are many ways to enjoy tiles in the bathroom. Here are 20 bathroom wall tile ideas to add charm to any size bathroom.<\/p>\n

Striped Subway Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Subway tile is a classic because it is affordable and suitable for most fixtures and paint colors. Add interest to this bathroom standard by opting for white and black metro tiles. Arrange them in a horizontal stripe pattern for a modern twist on classic black and white bathroom d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

White Subway Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

White rectangular subway tiles are perfect for bathrooms because they reflect light and can make a small space feel bigger. Here, the tiles are arranged in a classic continuous gluing pattern. The dark cement grout adds interest to the walls and complements the dark floor tiles<\/p>\n

Marble Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Use marble tiles to give your bathroom a spa-like feel. The large rectangular tiles behind the dresser extend from floor to ceiling. The hexagonal floor tiles are also marble. Mixing and matching tile shapes of the same color or pattern is a way to add visual interest without overwhelming the space.<\/p>\n

Blue Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Blue is a relaxing color that is perfect for rooms with lots of water activities. The bathrooms feature blue square floor tiles as wainscoting to create a lake-like effect. The white freestanding bathtub breaks the blue color and becomes the focal point of the space.<\/p>\n

Bold Colored Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Choose a bold wall tile color to add a pop of color to your bathroom. Green rectangular tiles form an accentuating wall behind the dresser. In the shower, white tiles of the same size and shape add functionality and separate the two spaces without distracting attention from the feature wall.<\/p>\n

Bold Patterned Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

The bold patterned tiles are the star of this bathroom! The tiles stretch seamlessly from the bathroom floor to the shower. Extend the tiles to the wall as wainscoting to make the space fun. Inside the shower, white metro tiles provide a resting place for the eyes without competing with colored tiles.<\/p>\n

Mix and Match Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Mix and match tile patterns in the same shade to add interest to your bathroom. Mosaic square tiles form borders and break down larger white wall tiles. Using smaller tiles can add color without distracting the patterned tiles on the bathroom floor. Reusing patterned tiles in storage corners is a great way to connect spaces.<\/p>\n

Wavy Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

What is the nautical theme without waves? The combination of blue and white square tiles makes waves in this bathroom. Including a pattern on a wall creates a themed wall, but it won’t be overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Navy Blue Subway Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

This navy blue subway tile for the shower adds a touch of vibrancy to the classic bathroom tile. The contrast between navy blue tiles and white grout makes the shower area the focal point of the bathroom. Outside the shower, the same tiles arranged vertically form a boundary around the bathroom floor and connect the shower area with the rest of the space. The marble tile trim around the shower door, the marble sink top and the marble hexagonal floor tiles become a neutral space for the eyes to rest.<\/p>\n

French Style Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Add freshness to the French black and white bathroom d\u00e9cor by mixing tile patterns. The wall tiles with a basket pattern above the black beadplate paneling add interest to the space while staying true to the theme.<\/p>\n

Herringbone Pattern Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Arrange the tiles in a herringbone pattern to add dimension and direct the view. The backsplash tiles draw the eye to the patterned floor tiles like arrows. Using a tile pattern to direct the line of sight in a small space is a smart design choice.<\/p>\n

Brick-Like Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Use natural colors and materials to create a relaxed, neutral bathroom. The brick-like tile half-walls in the bathroom give the impression of exposed bricks, but are easier to clean. A marble tile border connects the wall with the bathroom sink above the floating vanity.<\/p>\n

Pink Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

The pink tiles that are popular in this bathroom add color and recall the pink bathroom trend of the 50s of the 20th century. Pink stripes distinguish the dressing area from the rest of the space. Sticking to small square tiles of different colors is an easy way to increase interest and stay in the same price range when picking tiles.<\/p>\n

Golden Mosaic Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Architectural elements in the space are highlighted through the use of tiles. The golden mosaic tiles in the bathtub area are both focal points and neutral elements, complementing the wood and natural fiber d\u00e9cor throughout the space. Black and white hexagonal floor tiles add an interesting pattern without distracting the shower.<\/p>\n

Hexagonal Bricks<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Change everything by using unexpected tile patterns on the walls. Hexagonal tiles are usually found on bathroom floors, but here they add texture when used as wall tiles.<\/p>\n

Black Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Use black tiles to add a modern touch to a light-filled bathroom. The white cement slurry between the dark squares reflects the light and prevents the space from becoming too moody. It’s an interesting design option for bathrooms, where people don’t have to put on makeup or spend a lot of time in front of the mirror.<\/p>\n

Vertical Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Want to make the room feel higher? Hanging tiles vertically can elongate a bathroom with a low ceiling. The beveled marble tile borders on the ceiling add a touch of luxury to the space and are easy to clean. Marble tile floors and white wall tiles work together to create a traditional yet modern space.<\/p>\n

Floor-to-Ceiling Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Use floor-to-ceiling tiles to add a spa-like experience to your steam shower. The black and white marbling on the entire hexagonal tile provides enough color variety so that the space does not appear crowded. Brass accents on fixtures, shower corner bezels and doorknobs break up the space.<\/p>\n

Wall Tiles<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

Use bold tile walls to define the area of the bathroom. Here, the square tiles match the eaves of the bathroom walls and flow through the floating sink area to form a small vignette. The natural brown tones in the tiles echo the brass fixtures and wood floors that connect the various materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
