]]>The post 10 Chic & Unique Tub Surround Tile Ideas appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.
]]>1. Create a Sparkling Space With Glass Tile
The blue, grey and white tones in the Blue Twilight Brick tile create a waterfall effect on the inside wall of this stunning tub surround. Shiny and reflective, the glass tile shimmers as the light hits it, brightening the space and stimulating the senses. The glossy white tile on the outside walls provides another reflective surface, adding depth to the space. Shop glass tile to find styles as sparkling as your personality.
2. Match Your Modern Farmhouse Decor
Fashionably homey, modern farmhouse design celebrates elevated simplicity and a connection to rural roots. This bathroom, designed by I SPY DIY, embodies those ideals with a sleek surround featuring the Metro Bianco Gloss subway tile. The right-angled herringbone pattern adds dynamic movement to the space, enhanced by contrasting black grout. Blush-painted walls and a gossamer shower curtain infuse the space with a romantic sensibility, but the versatile tile design makes it easy to update by swapping out accessories. If this cozy-chic style is your (homemade) jam, check out 11 Charming Modern Farmhouse Bathroom Tile Ideas.
3. Surround Yourself With Luxury
Ultra-luxe slab design is often created using a single block of stone, which can be both expensive and difficult to install. Achieve this high-end aesthetic on a more modest budget with our new selection of porcelain panel tub kits. Each kit includes two 30″ x 64″ panels and two 32″ x 64″ panels that mimic the size and appearance of large pieces of real marble at a more accessible price point. The Calacatta White tub kit, shown here, replicates luxurious white marble with bold, realistic veining—delivering refined Mediterranean style for under $1,000 per kit.
4. Don’t Forget the Details
A bathtub surround offers a wide canvas–make the most of it with beautiful and intentional details, like the marble corner shelves and tiled picture frame featured in this elegant bathroom designed by LoPiccolo Contracting. The focal point is created by “framing” the Hampton Niles marble mosaic tile with a single layer of Hampton Carrara Somerset. This exquisite design detail highlights a favorite patterned or mosaic tile that might be overwhelming if used throughout the entire space. The Hampton Carrara corner shelves provide stylish storage, eliminating the need for a bulky shower caddy.
5. Soak in Sophistication with Warm Neutral Tile
Here is another example of our new porcelain tile tub kits, available in four distinct marble looks: Calacatta White, Mastersone White, Statuario Nuovo and Max Rapolano (shown here). The creamy ivory tones infuse the space with warmth and contemporary style. The coordinating 12″ x 24″ Max Rapolano Ivory floor tile completes the look, creating a sense of quiet luxury and filling the space with rich serenity.
6. Get it Straight (Stack)
Everything is stacked in this sleek bathroom’s favor. The Villa White Gloss tile is installed in a vertical straight stack, adding height to the walls and offering a chic, contemporary look. Slightly contrasting grey grout highlights the clean lines of this simple layout and provides a visual throughline to the Bronx Acero tile in the checkerboard-patterned floor. If subway tile is your style of choice, discover the myriad of installation options in our guide to subway tile layouts.
7. Tile the Tub Apron
Extending your tub surround to the tub apron creates a unified space that displays your style–even when the shower curtain is drawn. This lovely space, designed by Steph Cotherman Creative, features the Argile White Matte wall tile. The perfectly imperfect details of the handmade-look tile lend visual texture through purposeful variations in color and edge from piece to piece. The result is an understated grandeur that both soothes and invigorates the senses. Shop our wide selection of handmade-look tile to achieve this artisanal aesthetic.
8. Showcase Your Style With Patterned Tile
An expressive patterned tile infuses your space with personality in the form of durable and waterproof porcelain or ceramic. Here, the Nikki Chu Zulu Pumice tile (inspired by the celebrity designer’s popular wallpaper) brings bold, graphic design to this fashion-forward bathroom. Paired with the Nikki Chu Luxor Pumice subway tile on the far wall, the soft beige background and bold hand-drawn-look pattern add decoration while maintaining a neutral space. If you love this eclectic, global style, shop our exclusive Nikki Chu designer collection.
9. Create a Relaxing Atmosphere with Dark Tile
Cool and modern, dark grey or black tile exudes sleek sophistication–as evident in this sharply styled bathroom designed by Timber Trails. The Imperial Pewter Frame Gloss subway tile features a slightly reflective, glossy finish that catches the light and highlights its chic raised “frame” edge. The black tub surround contrasts beautifully with the white walls and white-with-black-polka-dot hex tile floor. This simple color scheme allows for styling versatility–a few well-placed colorful accessories would really stand out in this space.
10. Extend the Tile to the Ceiling
If your shower space is on the short side, you can create the illusion of height by extending your tub surround tile to the ceiling. This elegant shower, designed by Yellow Brick Home, takes the Firenze Carrara tile up the angled ceiling to draw the eye upward and create a continuous space within the tub and shower area. We love how the marble tile is also used as wainscoting in the main bathroom area.
Updating your space is easier than you think! Shop our wide assortment of bathroom tile to find your perfect style, and explore our extended list of bathroom tile ideas for more inspiration.

]]>The post 12 Stylish & Durable Mudroom Tile Ideas appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.
]]>1. Up Your Game with a Stone Checkerboard
The checkerboard pattern is creating champion spaces throughout contemporary homes. We love how Timber Trails elevates this fashionable design with alternating squares of Noir and Silver Mist limestone tile. The natural veining in the stone tiles adds lovely movement–notice how the tiles are thoughtfully installed to alternate the direction of the veins. Love this design? Explore more winning checkerboard spaces.
2. Make It Charming & Chic With Modern Farmhouse
Bring an air of exalted utility to your mudroom with a delightful cottage-inspired pattern, like the Laura Ashley Mr Jones Charcoal tile featured in this @plmdesignsllc-designed space. The barn door and blonde wooden bench complete the homey aesthetic. Check out our guide to modern farmhouse design for ideas on how to achieve this look throughout your home.
3. Add Visual Texture with a Cement Look
Cement is a staple of industrial design, but this transitional mudroom–designed by West Bay Homes–proves that this urban look can also feel warm and inviting. The Sofia Charcoal cement-look porcelain tile features rich shade variation that adds visual texture to the space. Paired with the taupe-painted cupboards, this simple tile brings an unexpected touch of sophistication. If this blend of contemporary and traditional is your style sweet spot, check our guide to transitional design.
4. Add a Neutral Pattern
Maintain a neutral palette without sacrificing style with a patterned tile in grey, brown or beige. Here, the Britannia Soho tile incorporates all three colors in an ornate design. The floor tile perfectly complements the dark grey walls, creating a contemporary mix of warm and cool neutrals.
5. Go Geometric
The diagonal lines of the Rango Taupe matte hexagon tile bring a playful sense of movement to any space. This tile can be installed in a variety of ways, depending on your desired design, but we love how @eosinteriordesign created a starburst pattern on this mudroom floor. The warm color adds depth to the white room, but you can achieve a similar look in black and white with the Rango Blanco tile.
6. Choose Stone for a Sophisticated Space
Dark and earthy, Noir limestone tile offers the unique variations inherent to stone, while its black and brown tones will hide the appearance of dirt. We love how Julie Howard of Timber Trails installed this subway tile in a brick-lay pattern to evoke a cobblestone pathway. Shop limestone tile to bring this natural look into your home, and get inspired by more of Julie’s brilliant designs in this tour of her “Storybook” Estate.
7. Embrace a Black and White Pattern
A simple black-and-white tile is the perfect complement to a range of design styles. Keep it neutral or pair it with color and pattern, like in this bright and bold space designed by @magnolialakbuild. The Cloth Black and White floor tile features a textile-inspired check pattern that holds its own against striking dark green details and floral wallpaper.
8. Add Movement with Herringbone
Classic and chic, a herringbone pattern infuses any space with an elegant sense of movement. You can create this pattern using virtually any rectangular tile: a large-format tile will make your space feel more expansive, while a subway tile or herringbone mosaic–like the Legno Large Herringbone tile shown here–adds visual interest.
9. Fill Your Space with Color and Pattern
If your home is bright and colorful, your mudroom should match the mood. This vibrant space, designed by Zig & Co., embraces the more-is-more ethos of dopamine decor. The Laura Ashley Mr Jones Midnight tile is paired with bold wallpaper, a green door and blue cupboards. The key to this design is a simplified color palette; all the elements are unified in shades of blue and green. Discover more ideas to fill your home with unending cheer in our guide to dopamine decor.
10. Create a Contemporary Classic with Hexagon Tile
This classic six-sided shape is enjoying a contemporary design resurgence. Surprisingly versatile, hexagon tile comes in a wide variety of sizes, colors and styles. Mix and match two or more same-sized hexagons to create a custom pattern or use a single tile to create a monochromatic look–like this chic Spicy Salty Sweet Home-designed mudroom featuring the Silver Hex tile.
11. Tile The Walls
Don’t forget to protect your walls! This inviting mudroom, designed by Janelle Mattson, features the Riad Sand tile for a stylish, durable and easy-to-clean wall treatment. The color variation in the creamy beige, handmade-look tile adds beautiful visual interest while perfectly complementing the tone of the off-white cabinets.
12. Embrace English Country Cottage Patterns
Embracing whimsical patterns and cheery colors, English country cottage style has made its way across the pond to enliven American homes. Here, @toledogeller shows how to incorporate the look without overwhelming the space. Featuring the Laura Ashley Wicker Charcoal floor tile, the simple black-and-white geometric pattern is beautifully paired with cornflower blue cupboards and walls. Check out our guide to English country cottage design for more styles to sweeten your home.

]]>The post 9 Inviting Small Entryway Tile Ideas for 2025 appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.
]]>1. Small Entryway Tile Floor Ideas
Your front door likely sees a lot of traffic, which is why durable, easy-to-clean and low-maintenance porcelain tile is a great option for your foyer floor. Available in nearly any style you can imagine, porcelain tile can withstand whatever you and your family–human and furry–throw at it. This homey entryway features the Baltimore Gris Wood Look tile; its realistic woodgrain details make it an excellent choice for maintaining the natural character of your home. For more durable hardwood alternatives, shop our vast assortment of wood-look tile.
2. Make a Bold Statement Wall
Whether bold and graphic or soft and floral, a patterned tile showcases your personality while protecting your walls from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Nikki Chu Tangier Graphic tile is inspired by the celebrity designer’s popular wallpaper. Made of porcelain, this graphic patterned tile is as durable as it is chic–perfect for stylish households with pets or kids. Shop our wide assortment of patterned tile to find a design that’s uniquely you.
3. Embrace an Earthy Palette
Create a warm, welcoming atmosphere with soothing earth-toned neutrals. This serene entryway features the rich brown Organic Clay Taupe wall tile and the soft, brick-look Jerica Ceniza floor tile. The slightly textured tiles enhance the space’s organic appeal. Shop our collection of brown and beige tiles to achieve this nature-inspired look.
4. Choose Stone-Look for Durable Luxury
If you love the luxurious look of natural stone but want a low-maintenance material that can withstand heavy foot traffic, durable, easy-to-clean marble-look porcelain or ceramic is the perfect solution. This stylish entryway, designed by House of Shima, features the Keystone Grey tile. The striking grey and white veining creates a sense of movement that complements both the cool grey of the table and the warm brown wooden stairs and banister.
5. Small Entryway Foyer Tile Ideas
The entrance to your home doesn’t need to be grand to make an impact. Here, the Star tile creates visual separation between the foyer and the rest of the house. The folk art-inspired pattern is whimsical and homey, providing a moment of levity between the grand door and the hardwood floor that extends down the hall.
6. Keep it Classy With Black-and-White Tile
Like a well-tailored tuxedo, black-and-white tile exudes style and sophistication. This sleek and chic room, designed by Haus of Rowe, features the Laura Ashley Wicker Charcoal floor tile. The dainty, abstract florals add a touch of playfulness to this formal space. Shop black-and-white tile for more classy design options.
7. Choose Tumbled Marble for Rustic Luxury
Want a luxurious look with a bit of an edge? Tumbled marble, like the Meram Blanc Carrara tile shown here, is a high-end stone that has been tumbled with rocks to give it a uniquely rugged appearance. Shop marble tile for a wide assortment of tumbled finishes.
8. Win Your Design With Checkerboard
Checkerboard is a classic design that doesn’t require much space to create a big sensation. This elegant foyer features a checkerboard pattern made of Hampton Carrara and Black Marquina marble, but you can achieve this highly versatile look with any two complementary colored or patterned square tiles.
9. Create a Breezy Coastal Chic Design
The Laura Ashley Wicker Sea Spray tile sets the tone for this coastal-inspired space, designed by Timber Trails. Bright whites and wicker accents complete the beachy vibe, making this the perfect entryway to a stylish, laid-back home. For more ideas on bringing this chill aesthetic into your home, check out our guide to coastal chic design.

]]>The post Tile for Every Style: Japandi appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.
]]>1. Maintain a Minimalist Palette
Minimalism is a key tenet of Japandi design, and the right tile can help you maintain a tranquil, uncluttered space. A soft neutral tile is a great base to your design, allowing you to layer in other colors and materials. This bathroom features the Lanse Matte White Picket tile, pairing the crisp white tile with metallic gold accents and a soft grey sink. Though this space has few adornments, the mix of vertical and diagonal lines in the picket tile adds interest and a sense of movement.
2. Incorporate Greenery
Japandi emphasizes a connection with the natural world, and incorporating plants and other natural elements into your design will help create a sense of serenity. Soft, earthy greens function as a neutral color, and nature-inspired decor–when used sparingly–is encouraged. The Morris & Co. Hawkdale Willow Olive tile features elegant leaf designs that are both decorative and minimalist. Pair this tile with the corresponding Hawkdale Pure Chalk tile to add neutral space between the designs.
3. Choose Warm Neutrals
The Scandinavian concept of hygge refers to the feeling of coziness and contentment, which is incorporated into Japandi through warm colors and materials. This cozy nook, designed by Christy Bloom Design & Build, features the Laura Ashley Wicker Dove Grey tile. The soft greige coloring complements the wooden cabinets for a soothing and inviting space. Shop brown and beige tiles to achieve this warm neutral aesthetic.
4. Embrace Imperfections
The Japanese concept of wabi-sabi celebrates the imperfect–the very quality that makes our authentic Zellige tile so compelling. Each tile is crafted, glazed and painted by hand, resulting in a unique look from piece to piece. With Japandi’s emphasis on handmade and authentic materials, Zellige tile perfectly encapsulates its ethos, however, if you’re interested in a tile that’s a little more uniform (and affordable), check out our wide selection of handmade-look tile.
5. Use Wood-Look Tile for a Natural Appearance
While authentic materials are essential to Japandi design, they might not be practical for every space in your home. Hardwood is commonly associated with Japandi, but to get this aesthetic in high-traffic or damp areas, wood-look tile is a great alternative. This serene shower features the Nidus Decor Mix tile. The blonde wood look and textured surface (which would be difficult to replicate in real wood) create the soothing atmosphere expected in Japandi but in a material suited to the space.
6. Combine Rustic and Refined Elements
Achieve a look that seamlessly combines the rustic Scandinavian aesthetic with the grace and elegance of Japanese style, with natural stone. The veining inherent to marble, slate and travertine creates a one-of-a-kind character that embodies the spirit of Japandi design. This living room, designed by Esslinger Design Co., features the Legno Geometric tile on the fireplace surround. The architectural style stone mosaic provides texture, while the naturally occurring color variation gives this space authentic visual interest.
7. Use Texture
Since Japandi mostly adheres to a warm neutral color palette, texture is key to creating interest to your space. A fluted, or 3D tile, adds a tactile element to your walls that will stimulate the senses while providing a unique visual element. This tranquil entryway features the Khali Flash Off White tile, the subtle pattern of soft, flowing raised lines adds depth to the space, with a design that changes effect as light moves through the room.
8. Embrace Elegant Symmetry
Japandi favors clean lines and symmetry for a sense of harmony. Subway tile arranged in straight vertical or horizontal stacks, or neatly aligned mosaics like the Home Kit-Kat Milk tile used in this kitchen, designed by Yellow Brick Home, will achieve this aesthetic. The long, skinny tiles of this handmade-look mosaic form smooth horizontal and vertical lines, giving this space an orderly feel, while the slight variations in color and texture between the pieces provide an organic appeal.
Whatever your style, The Tile Shop has the tile, tools and expert advice to help you take your project from design to completion. Explore stunning tile ideas for every room, or schedule a free design consultation to get started.

6. Serene White
The slightly textured surface of the Argile Matte White tile gives this space an artisanal fee. The subtle greyish tones make this handmade-look tile a versatile choice–perfect for a warm or cool neutral color scheme.
5. Tumbled Marble

The Meram Blanc Carrara subway tile, paired with the open wooden shelving, adds plenty of visual texture to this stylish space, designed by Our Home Colonial.

4. Elegant Craftsman
Based on historic wallpaper by British designer William Morris, the Hawkdale Willow Olive tile pairs beautifully with the Hawkdale Pure Chalk tile, creating a moment of elegant whimsy on this Craftsman-style backsplash. Shop our exclusive Morris & Co. collection for more iconic patterns and colors.

Don’t let the name confuse you–the Zellige Dirty Blue tile combines blue and brown shades for a rich olive green.

3. Mary Lauren’s Marvelous Primary Bath

The post Year In Review: Top 10 Bathrooms of 2024 appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.
]]>The post Our Top 15 Tile Trend Predictions for 2025 appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.
]]>1. Hotel-Inspired Interiors
Luxurious, serene and universally appealing, hotel-style interiors make every day feel like a vacation. This five-star shower features the Pisa Oro wall tile matched with the Kasbah Star Bone and Terracotta Cross for a rich and pampering space. Choose luxe marble- or handmade-look tiles in a warm, neutral palette to achieve this look.
2. Celebration of Pattern
Whether graphic and bold, or soft and floral, we predict that patterns will be gracing more walls and floors. Durable and easy to clean, porcelain and ceramic tiles are perfect for showcasing a favorite print–especially in high-traffic or high-mess areas like a kitchen backsplash. Shop our extensive selection of patterned tile to find a design you’ll love.
3. Picket Tile
A new twist on traditional subway tile, picket tile has gained popularity in recent years, and we foresee it continuing to add pointed charm for years to come. Shop our full selection of picket tile to find a style that fits your space.
4. Curves
Sofas aren’t the only traditionally boxy items turning to rounded edges; curved tile has fewer sharp points, creating a softness to your interior design. Scallops, waves and penny rounds–with their soothing silhouettes–will be featured in more spaces. Here, the Gem by Alison Victoria tile shows how the curved edge enlivens a space with gentle movement.
5. A Focus On Artisan Designs
Both interior design and fashion saw a renewed enthusiasm for handcrafted goods in 2024, and we expect this trend toward authenticity and quality to continue into the new year. Crafted, painted and glazed by hand, each Zellige tile adds one-of-a-kind character to your home. This kitchen, designed by Fox Homes and featuring the Zellige White Gloss tile, shows how the slight variations from piece to piece come together to create an elegant space.
6. Eclecticism
Artfully mixed patterns, colors and materials are what make eclectic design so intriguing. This style rewards the bold and unconventional, as seen in the uniquely patterned Big Sur tile from celebrity designer Jeffrey Alan Marks. The abstract layers of glossy blue patina top a cream-colored matte base, giving the appearance of glazed pottery. Shop Big Sur in its two distinct colorways: Sea Spray (green) and Off the Hook (shown).
7. Japandi
A harmonious blend of Japanese and Scandinavian design, Japandi places significance on soothing colors, high-quality materials and a connection with nature. Choose warm neutral colors and wood-look tile (such as the Nidus Decore Mix tile shown here) to create your personal Zen retreat.
8. Brilliant Blue
From bright cobalt to rich navy to vivid sky, blue in all its hues will infuse our interiors with vibrant, serotonin-inducing vibes in 2025. Shop our wide assortment of blue tile–including the Zellige Azul gloss tile shown here–to find the perfect shade for your space.
9. Cozy Patterns
Charming florals are a cornerstone of some of our favorite emerging trends. “English cottage” and the closely related “granny chic” styles use vintage-inspired plays of pattern and color to evoke the cozy feeling of curling up on an overstuffed sofa with a warm cup of tea. The whimsical patterns in our exclusive Laura Ashley collection will help you achieve this timeless trend.
10. Glass and Mirrors
Reflective surfaces will brighten more spaces in 2025. Mirrored glass tiles add warmth and depth to your space, making them a great choice for kitchen backsplashes or entryway walls. Here, the Patina Siren Mirror by Kelli Fontana tile helps to illuminate this stylish kitchen.
11. Textured Walls
The coming year will be about celebrating all five senses, which means adding tactile elements to your home. Fluted tile, like the Violin Decor tile shown here, adds texture to your walls. Install this tile in your bathroom or shower to awaken your senses at the start of the day.
12. Natural Neutrals
The trend toward embracing the shapes, materials and colors of nature will continue into the new year. Warm browns and beiges reflect the outside world and create a serene and soothing atmosphere. Shop our full assortment of brown and beige tiles to create tranquil spaces.
13. All Things Green
Increasingly recognized as a new neutral, green inspires a feeling of connectivity with nature, making it a popular shade for home interiors. Its versatility in pairing with other colors makes it a go-to tone for a variety of styles. Shop our wide selection of green tile and create your own envy-worthy space.
14. Self-Care Spaces
Making time to be your best self is more than just a trend. Prioritize your self-care by creating spaces that promote well-being. Whether it’s an ultra-luxe bathroom like this Nikki Chu-designed room, or a tranquil shower, having a place in your home that relaxes and revitalizes you will help you care for more than just yourself.
15. Natural Stone
Luxurious and unique, natural stone continues to be a popular design choice. In addition to the ever-popular marble, we predict that travertine will grace many spaces in 2025. Here, Arctic White marble is paired with Claros Silver travertine for a beautifully textured shower.

]]>1. Embrace a Marble Collection
Our stone collections include a wealth of tile sizes, shapes and trim pieces so you can get an refined all-over marble look. This elegant bathroom features Calacata Evora marble throughout. The effect is a splendid space that will make your daily bathroom routine feel like a trip to the spa.
2. Mix Marble with Travertine
Mixing marble with other natural stone, such as travertine, is an excellent way to add visual texture to your space. This beautiful bathroom features a combination of Arctic White marble and Claros Silver travertine. The expressive details and veining inherent to the natural stone add to the richness of this space that integrates elements of “traditional” and “contemporary” design. If you love this look, read our comprehensive guide to “transitional design” for more ideas.
3. Add Elegance with a Waterjet Mosaic
High-powered water jets are used to create intricate, curved designs in marble resulting in these gorgeous mosaics. The Havana with White Nacre Stone tile shown here features gorgeous grey marble with mother-of-pearl floral details for a feminine and highly decorative look. Perfect either alone or paired with a matching marble tile, a waterjet mosaic tile will add charm and grace to your space.
4. Add Drama with Rich Veining
The expressive veining of the Macchia Vecchia tile used in this grand bathroom, designed by Nikki Chu, creates dramatic movement throughout this space. Though this tile is marble-look porcelain, the multiple tile faces provide variation, giving it a realistic appearance. The porcelain tile is paired with the Calacata Evora marble floor for a richly opulent space. For more of Nikki Chu’s fashion-forward room designs, check out this home tour.
5. Make it Moody with Grey Marble
Another lavish bathroom designed by Nikki Chu, this space features floor-to-ceiling Ashford Carrara marble. This lush grey-toned stone is available in several sizes and shapes, including hexagon tiles and trim tiles, to achieve this highly designed look.
6. Create an Enviable Space with Green Marble
Marble comes in many colors and can display dramatic or subtle veining. Here the opulent emerald tones of the Gem by Alison Victoria tile create a chic shower space. We love how the green shade of the wall tile is complemented with the green veining in the marble-look tile in the shower niche.
7. Win the Design with a Checkerboard Pattern
Add some whimsy to your luxurious marble design with a checkerboard pattern. This stylish bathroom, designed by Timber Trails, features the Hampton Carrara and Black Marquina tiles. The subtle veining in the black and white squares add depth to this simple design. Find more winning checkerboard tile patterns here.
8. Marble Bathroom Floor Tile Ideas
Marble tile makes for a luxurious and expressive bathroom floor, as evident in this refined space designed by Renovation Husbands. The Firenze Carrara tile features shades of white and light grey with dark grey veining that complements the rich cream of the walls and the black shower floor and accessories.
9. Create an Elegant Tile Wainscoting
This elegant bathroom, designed by Timber Trails, uses a tile wainscoting finished with the Siberian Pearl Cornice tile moulding. The inclusion of the hexagon tile on the floor gives this space both cohesion and distinction.
10. Elevate Your “Modern Farmhouse” Design with a Marble Hex
Love everything modern farmhouse? This comfy, cozy, chic style is even more elevated when you incorporate marble into your design. This bathroom, designed by The Grit and Polish, is a case in point. The Firenze Carrara Hex floor tile adds an air of luxury to this rustic space.

12. Add Traction to Your Shower with a Marble Mosaic Floor
An intricate mosaic not only adds beauty and interest to any space, it can also add traction to your bathroom or shower floors, helping prevent slippage. The Modena tile used on this chic shower features marble cut in diamond-shaped mosaic pieces. The effect is a lovely, unique and practical design.
13. Showcase Your Favorite Marble in a Shower Niche
If all-over marble isn’t your style (or isn’t in your budget), you can showcase a favorite tile in a smaller format by using it in a shower niche. The leaf-shaped Elia Polished by Alison Victoria tile, shown here, creates an elegant moment in this chic shower.
14. Stretch Your Budget by Pairing the Real Thing With Marble-Look
Love marble, but floor-to-ceiling application doesn’t fit in your budget? Pairing marble-look tile with the real thing can give you a luxurious space without breaking the bank. This room, designed by Jaimie Nelson, features the Bianco Puro Hex marble floor tile and the Lombardi White Matte marble-look wall tile. The effect is a gorgeous bathroom that expertly mixes natural and man-made materials.
