Create a Checkerboard

As classy as it is cheery, a checkerboard pattern will add some fun and whimsy to your space. And this versatile pattern needn’t be relegated to black-and-white floors. Any square-shaped tile can make a checkerboard, so you can mix colors and patterns to create a winning design. You can even stay neutral like Racheal Jackson of Banyan Bridges did for this grey and white checkerboard backsplash. We love how the handmade look tile adds texture to this kitchen wall, and how she used color to create a dopamine-inducing tableau.

Pick Two to Three Bold Colors

A lot of colors can easily become overwhelming. To keep your room from becoming too busy, try sticking to two to three analogous colors (colors that are close to each other on the color wheel). That’s what Zig and Co. did in this bright and fun entryway. A lot is happening in this room, but there are only three colors–blue, green and yellow–which helps keep the room looking cohesive.

Use a Colorful Trim

You don’t need to saturate an entire room to showcase your favorite color. A somerset or pencil trim will add a pop of color that can tie into other elements in the room or just provide a point of interest in an otherwise neutral space. This laundry room, designed by At Home With Ashley, uses a single line of pink pencil trim to add color to the marble subway tile design. While Ashley also uses a pink floral wallpaper in this space, a white or neutral colored wall would match the tile just as well.

Pair Black and White With a Bold Color

A black-and-white tile complements virtually any color palette–a great choice if you’re considering dipping your toe into dopamine decor. This vibrant room, designed by Timber Trails, pairs the Firenze Carrara Polished Wheaton with Black marble tile with a hot pink walls. The color saturation is excellent but can be easily altered with a new coat of paint.

Have Fun With Shapes

Shape is another way to bring joy to a space. This Art Deco-inspired bathroom, designed by Bari J. Ackerman, uses tile to create a glamorous backsplash. The tiled arches mimic the rounded shapes of the mirrors and light fixtures, while the individual hexagon tiles add to the vintage allure of this charming room. You can use tile to create shapes, or choose from a uniquely shaped tile for an unexpected look that will brighten your mood.

Embrace a Bold Pattern

A bold pattern is a great way to infuse your space with fun and cheer. If you’re worried about overwhelming the room, use a neutral or solid color on the other surfaces. The Laura Ashley Sunflower Charcoal with Cloud Blue patterned floor tile shown here, pairs well with the Laura Ashley White Beveled wall tile for a space that is bright and fanciful, while still being tasteful. Explore our wide assortment of patterned tile to discover a design that fills you with happiness.

Start With a Neutral Base

Even the most charming, joy-filled room can use a place to rest your eye. A neutral tile, whether on the floor or the wall can provide some respite in a busy room. The Baltimore Beige Wood Look tile floor in this room designed by At Home With Ashley, adds to the charm of the pretty nature-inspired wallpaper, without distracting. Wood-look tile and luxury vinyl tile are perfect for adding realistic charm to your space while allowing for more creativity throughout the room.

Keep scrolling for a closer look at the inspiring spaces in this elegantly chic home!

Living Room

The fireplace is the focal point of this bright and open living room. The Noir Honed limestone tile with its subtle silver veining creates a stunning harth with lots of visual texture. The dark fireplace against the white wall creates a solid base, which is balanced by the large abstract painting above.

Kitchen

In a house dubbed Chef’s Delight, you know the kitchen is going to be the star. Of course, the delight of this house is that it boasts not one but two kitchens with gorgeous tile choices in both. The primary kitchen features the Antique Mirror Bevel Glass tile above the stove. This reflective tile adds depth and shine to the room and complements the linear forms of the hood.

Scullery Kitchen

This second kitchen, or scullery kitchen, features more brilliant design choices. The Noir Honed tile (which we saw earlier on the fireplace) is paired with the Silver Mist honed limestone tile for a sophisticated checkerboard pattern. As Julie explained in the video, the linear veining on this tile creates a pattern within a pattern, but the Silver Mist tile is installed in alternating diagonals to maintain a sense of order and flow.

The Brick x Brick by Alison Victoria Powder blends blue and grey tones for an elegant backsplash that complements both the dark grey walls and grey and black floor tiles. Though the obvious choice for this backsplash might have been to use the same limestone tile as the floor, we’re glad Julie took a risk on this unexpected tile choice. The blue-grey elongated subway tile creates a beautiful transition between the white cabinets and granite countertops.

Bar

This gorgeous bar area is perfect for entertaining. The Look Avio handmade-look tile features variations in its blue-green coloring for a natural sense of movement. While handmade tiles often feature uneven edges, these handmade-look tiles have more uniformity, allowing for the neat straight lines accentuated by the white grout. The result is a highly designed look that creates order without being overly homogeneous.

Primary Bathroom

Nothing is more luxurious than marble, and this primary bathroom uses the Firenze Carrara to optimal effect, creating a clean, classic space. The herringbone pattern adds interest in the floor while maintaining the elegance of the room and the marble’s grey veining pairs nicely with the wooden cabinets and intricate, antique rug.

The Firenze Carrara tile extends to the shower walls, creating a lush, luxurious and rejuvenating space.

Laundry Room

Don’t you long to linger between loads in this lovely and inviting laundry room? The floral motif of the Elaizig Hex tile adds sophisticated whimsy to this room. We love how the bee prints above the sink tie in both thematically and aesthetically with the floral-inspired patterned tile.

Jack and Jill Bathroom

The custom tile design created with the Black and White Quarter Round tile is an unexpected moment that adds character to this charming Jack and Jill bathroom. The simple color palette gives this room depth while allowing the floor tile to claim the focal point of the space.

Kids’ Bathroom

The Imperial Black Matte Rhombus tile used in this charming kids’ bathroom proves that you can have fun in black and white. The shape is simple, yet playful–perfect for children–but can easily age as kids grow. With the right accessories, this room is suitable for young kids all the way up to teenagers and young adults.

That concludes our tour of the elegantly chic Chef’s Delight. We hope you loved Julie’s design choices as much as we did! If you’re feeling inspired to renovate your own space, be sure to schedule a free design consultation or visit one of our stores. Our helpful tile experts are ready to answer all of your questions, and help you visualize your space!

10. Chateau Kitchens’ Spledours Grey Backsplash

This year saw a penchant for the perfectly imperfect artisanal charm of handmade-look tile. Providing a little more predictability than authentic handmade tile, the natural shade variation in the Splendours Grey subway tile creates beautiful visual texture on this stunning modern backsplash designed by Chateau Kitchens. We love how the double herringbone pattern adds an unexpected sense of movement to the space.

9. Fox Homes’ Bright & White Prep Space

Continuing on the handmade trend is this charming and chic kitchen by Fox Homes. Each Moroccan-made Zellige tile is individually crafted and glazed by hand, giving this tile a truly unique appearance. The subtle variation in glaze and surface texture of this simple square tile creates a modern look with distinct character.

8. Angelia Guthrie’s Modern Marble Kitchen

This open kitchen in the middle of an urban loft uses large-format marble tile to create a stylish slab look. Fewer grout lines create cohesion between tiles, making the wall look even more expansive than it is. The Calacata Evora Honed tile features subtle grey and honey gold veining for a luxurious, fluid look. Explore our full selection of large-format tile to achieve a slab look in your kitchen.

7. Timber Trails’ Brick-Look Backsplash

Classically chic subway tile is a trend that’s here to stay, and the brick-lay patterned backsplash, featured in six of the top-ten kitchens, is a definite favorite. The Brick x Brick by Alison Victoria is a porcelain tile with the appearance of an elevated brick. This elongated subway tile makes this backsplash feel modern and designed while the variation in surface tones creates extra interest. If you love this stylish and modern look, check out our full assortment of subway tile.

6. I SPY DIY’s Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

This cozy kitchen, designed by Jenni Yolo from the popular I SPY DIY blog, features two of this year’s favorite kitchen trends: handmade-look tile and brick-lay subway tile. The unique character of the Annie Selke Artisanal White subway tile adds to the rustic-chic aesthetic of this kitchen. The mason jar hanging light and antique steel faucet complement the tile, and the old-fashioned cutting board and landscape painting complete the modern farmhouse look.

5. Beautiful Mosaic Masterpiece

This gorgeous tile backsplash is the epitome of elegance. The walls are graced by Firenze Carrara Essex marble subway tile and trim from the collection is used to create a frame around the Havana with White Nacre stone mosaic, creating a lovely focal point above the sink. View our wide selection of mosaic tile for ideas on how you can create your own show-stopping kitchen moment.

4. Our Home Colonial’s Coffee Corner

The tumbled finish on the Meram Blanc Carrara marble tile creates a roughness that, combined with the soft colors, gives this space a warm and inviting feel. We love how the dark wood shelves contrast the white marble, adding to the space’s chic, organic feel. The elevated materials definitely fits into Our Home Colonial’s charming antique aesthetic.

3. Timber Trails’ High-Contrast Kitchen

Sleek black limestone tile and clean white cabinets create high-contrast drama in this ultra-chic kitchen designed by Timber Trails. The silver veins running through the jet-black Noir Limestone Amalfi create subtle shifts in tone and add to the sophisticated look of this tile. Shop our full assortment of black tile to create your own black-and-white kitchen.

2. Haus of Rowe’s Sleek White Backsplash

Using one of our most popular subway tiles, the Retro Lino handmade-look tile really shines on this modern backsplash designed by Haus of Rowe Interiors. The white-on-white with pale wood accents creates a clean and crisp tableau ready for all their baking and cooking ventures. If you love this bright and sleek look, shop our full assortment of white tile.

1. Timber Trails’ Classic & Chic Mosaic Backsplash

And now we come to your number one most liked, shared and favorited kitchen of 2023–the Timber Trails’ stunning marble mosaic kitchen. The beautiful basketweave pattern of the Sampson Mosaic tile has a soft, earthy feel, creating an elevated farmhouse look to this lovely kitchen. The tan tints in the marble complement the gold handles and shelving brackets while the creamy white matches the cabinets. This stunning kitchen is certainly a fan favorite for a reason!

Customized Hexagon Designs

Hexagon tile is a vintage look that’s very much on-trend, and the many colors available in our Imperial Collection allow for fun custom designs like this Sienna with Pink flower hexagon tile floor created by The Gold Hive.

Stunning Trim-Framed Backsplash

The Imperial Slate Blue pencil trim is used to create a beautiful tile frame around the 4-D Nature White tile backsplash. The many trim pieces available in the Imperial Collection mean you can create your own highly-designed moments.

Sleek Black Frame Backsplash

The raised edges of the Imperial Black Frame tile add dimension to this classic subway-shaped tile. The unique detail creates shading for a natural visual texture that makes this jet-black backsplash really pop.

Charmingly-Understated Bianco Subway Tile Bathroom Wall

You can’t get any more classic than white subway tile. The Imperial Bianco Gloss Subway tile provides a respite from the busy wallpaper in this fun and funky bathroom designed by Jessica Brigham. We love how she incorporated the Bianco REL tile and black pencil trim, giving the half-wall a finished look.

Elegant Slate Blue Shower Wall

The many colorways available in the Imperial Collection provide plenty of options to complement your room’s aesthetic. The Imperial Slate Blue Gloss tile shown here pairs elegantly with the Villandry Azure patterned floor tile. Match a solid color Imperial Collection tile with a patterned tile for a beautiful, highly designed space.

Chic Pink and Bianco Hex Bathroom Backsplash

One of the great features of the Imperial Collection is that all the tiles in their shapes, finishes and colors, will complement each other. This can make for some wonderfully designed moments, and allow for a wealth of creativity. This gorgeous Imperial white and pink hexagon backsplash using precision cut tiles is possible because the tiles perfectly match in size and finish.

The post 6 Amazing Spaces Featuring the Imperial Collection appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

Mosaic Showcase

The Casablanca tile takes center stage in this dramatic black-and-white bathroom designed by Timber Trails. We love how they used the Black Marquina Barnes tile as a frame for this beautifully intricate mosaic. This design could feel disconnected from the bathtub, but the placement of the faucet integrates the tile into the functionality of the space.

Masterpiece Bath

Haneen’s Haven used their master bath as a place to display their favorite works of art. The many artistic elements in this room, including the star-shaped overhead light and sculpture, showcase their individual style to create a relaxing atmosphere. The Truewood Beige Wood Look tile floor is a simple, yet stately element that blends well with the museum aesthetic of the room.

Tranquil Spa Soaking Tub

By separating the shower into a wet room, I Spy DIY created an amazing tub moment in this beautifully tranquil bathroom. The handmade-look Riad Grey wall tiles have natural shifts in tone, creating interest while maintaining a neutral color palette, adding to the peacefulness of the room.

Reflection Pool

The glossy finish and beautiful color variation on the Tribeca Grey Whisper tile creates a serene space to relax in at the end of a long day. The choice to tile most of the room, including the tub surround, engulfs this bathroom in a restful atmosphere.

Calming Coastal Charm

This soothing seaside space exudes a feeling of peaceful relaxation. The soft blue design of the Summerland by Jeffery Alan Marks in Miramar tile is reminiscent of faded linen fabric, adding to the charm and tranquility of this bathroom.

Prominent Pattern

The geometric-patterned Artisan Tiare tile proves you don’t need neutrals to be relaxing. Relegating the tile to the floor keeps this space from becoming too busy. The bold orange with the white walls and ceiling allows for unique accessories like the black and gold overhead light.

Relaxing Blue Hues

Keeping with a blue and white color palette, this bathroom designed with all Laura Ashley tile, creates a fun and relaxing space to unwind at the end of a long day. We love how the Laura Ashley Sunflower Charcoal with Cloud Blue tile extends onto the tub surround, adding depth to the room, and how the Leaf Cloud Blue mosaic tile creates an unexpected shower niche moment.

Chic Rustic Lounge

If you’re lucky enough to have architectural elements in your home like this exposed brick chimney wall, incorporating them into your bathroom design will add to the character and charm of your space. The Grit and Polish embraces the rustic natural structures in this amazing bathroom, and the Firenze Carrara Honed marble hexagon floor adds to the warmth and natural texture of the space.

The post 8 Bathtub Design Ideas That Redefine Relaxation appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

Bathrooms

Want a bathroom that makes a statement? A bathroom that rejuvenates you like a resort spa, one your friends and family can’t help but compliment? A mosaic, whether it covers all four walls or just a shower niche, is sure to impress. Here are some of our favorite show-stopping mosaic tile bathroom design ideas that are sure to spark inspiration for your next addition or remodel.

Costa Emerald

This mosaic is nature enhanced! The brilliant jewel tones add a touch of glamour to the simple leaf-shaped tile. This tile creates a bold aesthetic when applied to walls and floors, but if you find that a bit overwhelming, try using it for a backsplash, accent wall or shower niche. For lighter, more blueish tones, try Costa Aegean.

Firenze Carrara and Black Marquina

One of the great things about mosaics is their versatility. If you like two colorways, you can mix them to create your own pattern like Beginning in the Middle did here with Firenze Carrara and Black Marquina hexagon mosaic. This polka dot pattern is unexpected and chic.

Imperial Hex

Want to try more custom patterns? Our Imperial collection comes in a wealth of colors, and these hex mosaics are perfect for mixing and matching. This custom hex floral pattern by The Gold Hive makes for an absolutely delightful bathroom floor.

Grey Pebble

Looking for mosaic tile shower design ideas? The Grey Pebble mosaic creates a relaxing, spa-like experience. The raised pebbles will massage your feet and give you extra traction. The neutral colors create a soothing, calming environment.

Laura Ashley Leaf Cloud Blue

Sometimes when it comes to a mosaic, less is more. If you’re afraid a bold-patterned mosaic will overwhelm your bathroom, you can create a beautiful, unexpected moment with a shower niche. The Laura Ashley Leaf mosaic adds a stunning pop of color and whimsy to this white-tiled shower wall.

Kitchen

Mosaics make for marvelous kitchen backsplashes, accent walls and floors. Add a pop of color, a beautiful black-and-white pattern, or a stunning and luxurious marble mosaic. For more kitchen inspiration, check out these kitchen backsplash ideas.

Bardot Grey

The grey marble and curved chevrons of the Bardot Grey are the epitome of elegance. The subtle movement of the shapes will instantly elevate any space, whether it’s a kitchen backsplash, shower wall or bathroom vanity.

Hex Matte White with Black Flower

One thing we love about hexagons is their versatility. Add a touch of whimsy to your room with the Hex Matte White with Black Flower pattern, or create your own–we have a wealth of hexagon tiles in a variety of materials and colors.

Victoria Grey Braxtyn

A mosaic can add dimension to your space. The multi-colored marbles used for the Victoria Grey Braxtyn make this tile appear as if it’s popping up from the wall. We love how this simple grey and white mosaic pairs with the stainless steel and white elements in this kitchen, but it could also look stunning next to a bold, dark color.

Sampson Mosaic

The Sampson Mosaic with its geometric basketweave pattern creates a stunning moment on this kitchen wall. The tumbled marble gives this kitchen an earthy but elegant feel, perfect for an elevated country kitchen design.

Bar

These mosaic masterpieces are bar goals! From chic Art Deco arches to fun plays on the classic mirrored bar wall, pull up a stool and raise a glass to these chic and inviting designs.

Lalique

Art Deco designs are having a moment, and we couldn’t be happier! The Lalique marble mosaic embodies the ornate, geometric design made popular in the flapper era. This tile is especially stunning in the arched space above this bar but can be used anywhere you want to add vintage glamour.

Gem by Alison Victoria

Gem by Alison Victoria lives up to its name–this tile is a gem! The deep-green, scalloped marble features subtle veining for extra movement and allure. This is the perfect tile for a backsplash.

Skyline Vintage Patina

The simple lines of the Skyline Vintage Patina mosaic create great geometric allure. We love how the simple black-and-white pattern, reminiscent of Art Deco style, complements the wood shelving on this accent wall.

Antique Mirror Bevel

Charming and chic, modern and timeless, the Antique Mirror Bevel mosaic tile makes this bar the perfect place to gather with friends. If you’re loving this design, discover more of in our West Bay Homes’ Sun Coast Estate Home Tour.

Hexagon tile is a classic that’s always on trend and a great way to add interest to an all-white bathroom. The Bianco Puro marble tile shown here helps give this bathroom a designed look to this clean, white floor.

2. Always-In-Style Subway Tile

Subway tile is a staple when it comes to walls and backsplashes, but that doesn’t mean it’s basic. Try installing your subway tile vertically for a modern look that will add height to your walls.

3. Create High Contrast With Black and White

There are few color pairings as classy and bold as black and white. The Casablanca mosaic tile makes for a brilliant centerpiece here, while the black and white marble checkerboard floor exudes simple charm.

6. Create a Spa Experience With Marble

Bathe your bathroom in ultimate luxury with marble tile. Marble comes in a variety of colors, but we love how classic white like the Firenze Calacatta collection creates a bright and brilliant spa-like room.

7. Make a Point With Picket

Take your white bathroom design up a notch with picket tile. The elongated hexagon shape of is a fun twist on a classic subway that will add a dynamic element to your white walls.

8. Punch Up Your Design With a Pop of Color

Make your bathroom stand out by adding a pop of color to an all-white room. Whether you use a bright color block like Bari J. Ackerman created with the Imperial Pink Hex or just add a band of colorful trim piece, a single colorful element will add a vibrancy to a white bathroom.

Shower niches are a great place to showcase an artistic tile that would be overwhelming in a whole room. Create a surprising detail in a white shower with a patterned or mosaic tile.

Go Bold With a Geometric Pattern

Want to make your floor the focal point? A bold geometric pattern is sure to be a show-stopper. Tie it into other design elements in the room through color or pattern, or use white tile or paint on the walls to keep the floor the main feature. Whether you choose bold colors like the encaustic-look Artisan Tiare tile or a black-and-white design, the clean lines of a geometric tile will make your bathroom feel neat and orderly.

Embrace Ultimate Luxury With Marble

Nothing is more luxurious or unique than natural stone, and no stone exudes elegance quite like marble. Most of our marble collections include tile in a variety of sizes and shapes so you can match a square or rectangular tile with a mosaic to create distinction on the floors while still maintaining cohesion in your space. Designer Nikki Chu has done just that in this bathroom covered in floor to ceiling Ashford Cararra. We love how the smaller format hexagon floor tiles provide some relief from the large-format wall tiles. Read A Step Inside: Nikki Chu’s Neutral-Luxe Total Home Reno for more of her design philosophy and inspiring spaces.

Create a Coastal Chic Vibe

Want a bathroom that radiates beach vibes year-round? Our Summeland by Jeffery Alan Marks tiles, inspired by the California Shoreline, will infuse your bathroom with warm and inviting coastal charm.

Extend the Floor

Tile doesn’t need to stop where the floor ends. If you’re loving your floor tile, take it up the tub or shower wall. The Laura Ashley Sunflower tile on this tub wall is an unexpected detail that adds charm and character to this bathroom. View more spaces featuring tile inspired by the iconic British brand here.

Play With Scale Using Large-Format Tiles

Want to make a small bathroom appear bigger? Large-format tiles require fewer grout lines, making your floor feel more cohesive and your space more expansive. The 24 x 47 in. Aqua Blu tile used in this bathroom designed by Rashida Banks makes this bathroom feel luxuriously spacious.

Add Elegance With Marble-Look Tiles

If you like the look of marble but not the price point, porcelain marble-look tiles, like the Tresana Blanco used in this gorgeous bathroom designed by Brooke Pavel, are a durable and cost-effective alternative that’s sure to dazzle. We have a wide variety of marble-look tiles ranging from crisp white to black. Choose soft, subtle veining or go dramatic with thick, bold hues. Whatever style, marble-look tiles will add a touch of class and elegance to your floor.

Create Vintage Charm With Penny Rounds

Small and neat penny rounds are as classic as they are chic. We have a wide selection of penny rounds, mounted on a mesh backing for easy installation. Choose a pre-made pattern or create your own using the wealth of colors available. The delightful pattern below designed by Timber Trails was created using the Penny Round White Gloss and the Penny Round Cloudy tiles.

Keep it Simple With Black and White Patterns

If you want to infuse color in your walls, mirrors or fixtures, a simple black and white tile floor pattern will complement rather than detract from the rest of your room. The Cloth Black and White tile used in this bathroom designed by Zig & Co. adds to the whimsical character of the room while allowing the bright colors and fun butterfly-patterned wallpaper to shine.

Marvel With a Beautiful Mosaic

Mosaics don’t just make for gorgeously intricate floors, the small tile pieces also require more grout lines, which provides more traction on floors prone to wetness. Mosaic tile comes in a wide variety of shapes–from hexagons to basketweaves to petals and more–and comes on a mesh backing for easy installation. Choose a mosaic in a mix of colors, like the Modena tile in this shower designed by Nikki Chu, to add exciting detail to your floor.

Create a Classic & Classy Checkerboard

If you want to add character to your floors, a checkerboard pattern is a style that is simultaneously sophisticated and fun. The alternating tiles create a dynamic movement that will enliven your floors with energy and playfulness. Whether you use traditional black and white, a muted white and cream or a bold color paired with a pattern, checkerboard tile is a versatile classic that’s always in style.

Mix Colors and Patterns

Have a wallpaper you love for your bathroom? Pair it with a patterned floor tile. When you keep to the same color palette, you can play with patterns and not clash. A lot is going on in this bathroom designed by Zig and Co., but keeping everything in blue, green and white maintains an intentional design scheme.

Keep it Neutral

If bright and bold isn’t your style, don’t be afraid to embrace a neutral color palette. Beige doesn’t have to be boring–a fun shape and subtle pattern can add interest to a floor without becoming overwhelming. We love how the Blot Noon Hexagon tile creates a pattern that’s as appealing as it is calming.

Create a Natural Look With Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Want the natural look of wood in your bathroom, but are afraid it will be difficult to maintain in a room prone to wetness? Luxury vinyl flooring is an easy-to-maintain, 100% waterproof flooring option that will mimic the look of natural wood and stone. It is also easy to install, making it a great option for a DIY project. We have luxury vinyl flooring in a wide variety of wood and stone styles, so you can get exactly the look you want.

We hope one of our favorite trends for 2023 sparks an idea for your next project! If you end up using one of these ideas, or a great bathroom floor idea of your own, we hope you will share it with us by tagging us on Instagram–we love to see your tile creations!

The post 13 of Our Favorite Bathroom Floor Tile Ideas for 2023 appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

The Peaceful Primary Bath

The neutral color palette is the key to maintaining a peaceful vibe in this super-luxurious bathroom. The Calacata Evora marble tile with its subtle honey gold and grey veining creates a warm opulence that balances the wonderful movement of the dramatic gold, grey, brown and ochre veins on the Macchia Vecchia porcelain tile. The large-format wall tiles have fewer grout lines, making this bathroom appear even bigger than it is.

The Shapes Elongated Hex mosaic adds interest as well as traction to the shower floor. The off-white coloring of this porcelain tile ties in with the room’s neutral tones, while the unique shape adds an extra sense of movement.

The Luxe Guest Bath

Floor-to-ceiling Ashford Carrara marble tile from Rush River Stone creates balance in this beautifully-luxe bathroom. Featuring a stark white background with vivid grey and silver veining, this sumptuous natural stone tile is as chic as it is inviting. The mix of shapes, large rectangular blocks for the walls and smaller hexagons for the floor, create distinction while maintaining cohesion.

The Ashford Carrara polished skirting elevates the shower threshold and makes the space look finished and polished.

The Fabulous Laundry Room

This room takes laundry from chore to delight! The handmade look of the Track Stack White Two Tone mosaic tile adds an artisanal feel to this grand room, while the dramatic gold veining in the Macchia Vecchia porcelain tile is complemented by the gold fixtures. View more inspirational rooms on our 10 Rooms That Will Make You Love Laundry Day blog post.

The Spa-Hotel Bath

The highly polished surface of the Savannah Antique porcelain tile reflects the natural light in this room, making this shower look bright and inviting. The tile’s white and cream base is accentuated with soft blue, grey and taupe veining which provide a lush neutral backdrop for the brass features.

The Modena marble mosaic tile brings geometric glamor to the shower floor. For more bathroom design inspiration, read our 16 Luxurious Bathroom Designs blog post.
