The right tile has the power to transform the whole mood of your bathroom. We are tempted to pick the same tile for flooring and walls. We forget the ceiling and choose some big black, grey or white tile. These modern looks can look really good, but don’t make you feel at home.
So I looked for some inspirational bathrooms with colourful tiles, interesting patterns/ forms and amazing tile combinations. These bathrooms are light, cosy and make you feel like you’re on vacation.
1. ACCENT WALL
In this bathroom the interior designer chose a light blue tile in a fishtail pattern for the accent wall. The blue tile together with the light grey flooring, walls and white ceiling gives the bathroom a light, beachy feel.
When you create these type of patterns with small tiles, it is important to use a grout that contrasts with the tile colour. Because, when you use a white tile with a white grout the pattern will become unclear.
2. TILE COMBINATIONS
It is also interesting to combine different colours and patterns. In this bathroom one wall has a blue tile with imperfect borders (which gives it that rough finish) in a fishtail pattern. The other wall is a round, white marble mosaic pattern. Even the counter is a big marble slab which matches perfectly with the mosaic tile.
3. TILE GALLORE
We often forget the ceiling of our bathroom. We don’t tile the ceiling but just paint it white. In this inspirational bathroom the wall tile goes all over the ceiling and back down on the opposite wall. It makes you feel like you’re in a resort, and why shouldn’t you feel like that in your own home? I think this is an amazing example of a thoughtful designed bathroom with different tile patterns and colours.
