Most aspects of a bathroom’s décor are built-in features, making it challenging to update the style with superficial design changes. However, you do not need to tear apart your bathroom to refresh the look and incorporate your personality into the space. Installing new tiles can transform your space without breaking the bank, and there is a seemingly endless range of colors, sizes, and types to choose from. As you explore the many tile choices available, consider incorporating them into your space in these creative ways.

1- A Mosaic Tile Floor

A mosaic tile floor adds a unique touch of personality to your space. You might immediately think about the classic hexagonal mosaic pattern in black and white tiles, but the design options go far beyond this. For example, the tiles can be laid in a pinwheel, floral or checkered design. Consider making your floor a work of art with a quilt-like pattern or a mosaic image for a truly standout look. Another option is to create a mosaic pattern outlining the floor’s perimeter. Remember that you are not limited to one type of tile for your mosaic floor or other bathroom areas. For example, you can combine marble and ceramic tiles in a gorgeous pattern. Numerous templates for a mosaic tile floor are available to inspire you.

2- A Patterned Tile Surround

Tile is commonly used as a shower surround because it is waterproof and easy to clean. Two more common types of tile used in bathroom showers are natural stone tiles and ceramic tiles laid in a subway pattern. Install large rectangular tiles vertically in a staggered design for a different look. Using a bold pattern, consider creating a stunning accent wall on one side of the shower. Tiles laid diagonally can also make a big splash in your bathroom décor. An alternating pattern using two slightly different colors is another option. Consider installing wood-looking ceramic tiles on the shower walls for a more natural look.

3- A Block Tile Wall

Tile isn’t only for your shower surround and floor. It can also be used to decorate the walls. You could carry the same tile on the floor across one accent wall or extend the shower wall surround to the sides. Another idea is to create a tile feature surrounding the mirror. Tile can be installed halfway up the wall or even at a stair-step, staggered, or vertical layout over a portion of the wall. Choose wood-style ceramic tile for one or more walls for a more natural look. You can even mimic the look of wallpaper by choosing patterned tile.
