Create visual interest in your bathroom by mixing different shapes. I love this vertical layout of subway tiles paired with leaf-shaped floor tiles. Mixing shapes is a great way to provide contrast with a monochromatic look. The bubblegum pink makes this bathroom look bright and uplifting.

You can never go wrong with classic white subway tiles. Make the look more interesting by pairing them with a patterned floor tile as pictured above. The stripe of black tile towards the top ties the look together. The hanging plants add color and warmth.

Use Two Colors

Embrace the Terrazzo Trend

In recent years, the terrazzo trend has been coming back strong. It comes in many different variations from the colors of the specks to their size. It has a very unique look and can camouflage blemishes well.

Stick to the Classic Herringbone

Herringbone has always been a popular style for bathrooms and it’s not hard to see why. The emerald green tiles look stunning with the gold fixtures. The glossy texture of the tiles gives the bathroom an upscale aesthetic.

Highlight One Wall
