Tile Inspiration For Your Remodel
Below are 10 bathroom tile styles with descriptions and direct links to gallery images.
1. Subway Tile (Ceramic)
Classic rectangular white ceramic tile ideal for walls, backsplashes, and showers. Budget-friendly and easy to install, glazed ceramic cleans easily—perfect for wet areas.
2. Porcelain Tile (Large Format)
Dense, water-resistant porcelain works on floors or walls and withstands high traffic. Available in matte or polished finishes, it can mimic stone or wood. Large-format panels create a sleek, expansive look and simplify cleaning.
3. Hexagon Tile
Six-sided tiles add geometric interest on floors or walls, bringing depth and character. Available in ceramic, glass, or marble-look options, hexagons suit both classic and modern schemes—even in showers.
4. Marble Tile
Natural marble—or marble-look porcelain—delivers a luxurious spa vibe. Durable in wet conditions, each tile’s unique veining ensures a one-of-a-kind installation, though sealing is recommended against stains.
5. Mosaic Tile (Glass/Stone)
Tiny tiles on mesh backings form intricate patterns for accents or full coverings. Glass and stone mosaics add color and visual interest, making them perfect for backsplashes, shower floors, or feature walls.
6. Terrazzo Tile
Speckled stone-cement composite tiles bring texture and a vintage-modern blend. Suitable for floors, walls, or tub surrounds, terrazzo is hard-wearing—and porcelain “terrazzo-effect” tiles offer similar durability.
7. Glazed Ceramic Tile (Bold Color)
Glossy glazed tiles in rich hues (e.g., deep blue or green) create standout accent walls or backsplashes. Easy to clean and visually striking, they pair well with neutral grout and floors.
8. 3D/Relief Tile
Textured tiles with raised geometric patterns serve as dramatic accent walls or shower features. Moisture-resistant ceramic or porcelain relief tiles add depth and modern style without sacrificing durability.
9. Wood-Look Tile
Porcelain or ceramic planks mimic real wood’s warmth while resisting moisture and stains—ideal for bathroom floors. They suit rustic or contemporary décors, offering wood aesthetics without upkeep.
10. Patterned Ceramic Tile (Cement/Encaustic Style)
Ornate, painted-ceramic or cement-style tiles inject bold, artistic flair. Used as borders, full walls, or floors, these patterns suit vintage, bohemian, or eclectic bathrooms.
