Published on
September 20, 2021

You'll find that several factors come into play when choosing bathroom tiles, including functionality, ease of cleaning and safety, overall design of the bathroom, and preference. With so many bathroom tile designs to choose from, it can be confusing to narrow down your options. Below are 5 bathroom tiles ideas to help you create a space you love.

Large Format Tiles

Large-format tiles work well for both small and big bathrooms, on walls or floors. They create a sense of spaciousness and sophistication as there are minimal grout joints. You can choose from different large format tiles designs and colors.

For instance, white, polished large format tiles are highly reflective for a spacious, well-lit feel. On the other hand, you could install dark-colored matte-finish large format tiles for a warm and cozy feel, even in small bathrooms.


Metro Tiles

Metro bathroom tiles are a classic that still have a place in modern bathrooms. While you may opt for a basic white, there are a variety of colors to choose from to fit your bathroom décor, including mixing and matching them with other bathroom tile designs.

For example, you can install metro tiles on bathroom walls and Moroccan-style tiles on the floor. Since they are small, they offer versatility in fitting as you can install them even in tight corners. You can also arrange them in different patterns, e.g., vertical, horizontal, diagonal, vertical and horizontal, chevron, staggered, herringbone, etc.


Moroccan Bathroom Tiles

Moroccan bathroom tiles bring out an intricate boldness in your bathroom. They feature colorful patterns that make the room stand out. Moroccan tiles aren’t necessarily maximalist; those that have a monochromatic design are chic and elegant. You can also use them minimally to create an accent wall within your bathroom.

Terrazzo Tiles


Terrazzo tiles are quite popular in bathrooms as they are durable and easy to maintain. The subtle, decorative speckled design offers classic elegance and styling versatility. You can also opt for large speckled stones for a bolder finish. On the downside, they are more expensive to buy and install than marble and granite.


Dark Tiles

Dark tiles create a dramatic effect in your bathroom. They also offer you the option to create contrast using pops of marble, metallic fixtures, or wood. You could also create contrast with accent colors or motif flow tiles.

For instance, you can install black tiles on the walls and dark green tiles on the floor. Or incorporate patterns for a decorative touch. Dark tiles don’t have to be dull. You can go for warmer tones, e.g., purple, for a more welcoming bathroom feel.


Tiles will continue to be a trendy option for bathroom finishes. They are functional and offer styling versatility. The above discussed bathroom tiles ideas are just the tip of the iceberg for bathroom tile styling options. However, they are a good place to start when considering your options.
