Struggling to make the most of your small bathroom? Whether renovating a powder room or a snug primary bath, these 20 stunning bathroom tile ideas will make your limited space feel luxurious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Large-format tile<\/a> requires fewer grout lines, which makes a small space feel more cohesive. Featured on the floor and half-wall of this bathroom, the Livingstone Melange tile<\/a> creates the illusion of an expansive space by maintaining an almost continuous design. Shop our wide assortment of large-format tile<\/a> for more big ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A powder bathroom is generally smaller, less frequently used and more guest-facing than your primary bathroom, making it the perfect space to experiment with bold colors and patterns. Here, the Nikki Chu Zulu Graphite tile<\/a> adds a playful element to this small bathroom, while the modern sink vanity and fixtures maintain an elevated design. Explore our wide assortment of patterned tile<\/a> to find the style that expresses your unique personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to make your small space feel invigorating? Mixing tile styles or materials gives your eye more to focus on, providing a stimulating start to your day. This cool, contemporary bathroom demonstrates how to layer looks without feeling too busy. Though there are five separate tiles (not including trim), there are only three colors: blue<\/a>, taupe<\/a> and white<\/a>. The use of white grout in the grid-stacked Look Avio subway tile<\/a> creates a visual throughline to the white wall and shower floor tiles and the white geometric lines featured on the Ragno Taupe Matte floor tile<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t need to spend a lot for a major room refresh. Achieve big-impact style on a small budget with The Tile Shop’s newly expanded collection of tiles under $7<\/a>. Handmade-look, wood-look, large-format and more–you’ll be surprised at the wealth of design possibilities available for any price range. This fashionable bath, designed by @homewithhay, features the Cool Blue wall tile<\/a>. Priced at just $6.99\/sq.ft., this handmade-look tile<\/a> is both on trend and within budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inherently dynamic and energetic, diagonal lines create the illusion of a wider room. When installed diagonally, picket tile<\/a> disrupts the symmetry of your space–perfect for adding interest to a minimalist design. We love how this bathroom wall maintains subtlety by pairing the Lanse Matte Black Picket tile <\/a>with black grout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If stepping outside gives you a mood boost, bring that serotonin-inducing scenery indoors with nature-inspired colors, materials and designs. Even if your bathroom isn’t large enough for live plants, incorporating a botanical pattern–like the Morris & Co. Hawkdale Willow Olive tile<\/a>–can offer some of the same benefits as actual greenery. For more ideas on bringing the beauty of the outdoors into your home, check out this guide to biophilic design.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Effortlessly chic and timeless, white subway tile<\/a> is the white tee of interior design–it goes with everything! You can dress up this classic by pairing it with a mosaic or patterned tile, just like @alexandria.by.design<\/a> did in this space featuring the Asteri floor tile<\/a>. The simple black-and-white color scheme makes the space easy to update as styles and tastes change. Simply swapping out the shower curtain can completely alter the bathroom’s aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A confined space makes your walls more susceptible to moisture and inevitable bathroom messes. A beautiful (and easy-to-clean!) patterned tile<\/a> will protect your space from floor to ceiling while providing a stylish wallpaper look. An ornate design, like the Cheverny Blanc tile<\/a> featured here, achieves delicate artistry with superior durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tile is an inherently hard material, and the straight edges and sharp corners of squares and rectangles can feel rigid. A curved shape–like a penny round tile<\/a> or the Wave Grey Owl tile<\/a> shown here–creates the illusion of softness by offering your eye smooth, pillowy lines to focus on. This can make your small space feel cozy and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re getting maximum usage from your small bathroom, you want a floor tile that’s durable, easy to maintain, and still makes your space feel luxurious. Ultra-luxe and super robust, marble-look porcelain or ceramic tile is the perfect blend of style and strength. With a wide range of bold to delicate-veined looks to choose from, our ever-expanding selection of marble-look tile<\/a> offers something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Simple and stylish, black-and-white tile<\/a> pairs well with virtually any design. Whether you choose an elegant marble mosaic<\/a> or a geometric pattern, this classic color scheme is a great foundation for both a fancy and fun-loving space. This gorgeous powder room, designed by @andreak_covelladesigns<\/a>, features the Marble Star porcelain floor tile<\/a>. The intricate design and textured stone appearance add interest without detracting from the beautiful floral wallpaper, antique cabinetry and Victorian painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Checkerboard is a timeless trend that doesn’t require a lot of space to make a big impression. Virtually any two similarly sized square tiles<\/a> (or halved rectangular tiles<\/a>) can create a design checkmate. We love this elevated version, designed by @MaryLauren, featuring the Arctic White<\/a> and Bandung Gris Acid marble tiles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add needed storage and style with a shower niche. Because niches take up such a small amount of real estate, they’re a great place to experiment with a tile–like a bold pattern<\/a> or mosaic<\/a>–that might overwhelm the rest of the room. You can also coordinate your niche with a backsplash<\/a> or accent wall<\/a> to enhance the design of your space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a small space, it’s even more important for your design to feel cohesive. Using tile to visually align your tub apron with the floor and\/or wall will help hide its bulk. This space, designed by A Glass of Bovino<\/a>, creates unity by featuring the Firenze Calacatta marble<\/a> on the shower wall and tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another great bathroom tile idea for small showers: if you\u2019re dealing with a low shower ceiling, consider extending the tile to cover overhead. The Splendor Blanco tile<\/a> used throughout this shower, designed by Coco & Jack<\/a>, makes the small space feel larger, and the vertical stack provides the illusion of height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A small space is a great place to showcase your design skills. This boho-chic bathroom, designed by I SPY DIY<\/a>, demonstrates how a little creativity can go a long way in crafting a space that feels uniquely you. The Villa Warm White<\/a> and Warm Grey subway tiles<\/a> are arranged in a custom layout, perfectly complementing the space’s eclectic aesthetic. Get your creative juices flowing with more globally inspired ideas in this guide to boho-chic design<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This guest bathroom, designed by Nikki Chu<\/a>, proves that your space doesn\u2019t need to be large to be luxurious. We love how she went all-in with floor-to-ceiling Ashford Carrara<\/a>. Since the space is limited, this opulent look is achievable on a less-than-extravagant budget. Explore marble tile<\/a> to find elegant natural stone collections, featuring coordinating field tiles, mosaics and trim pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your bathroom is left over from the last century, embrace its vintage charm! This bathroom, designed by Yellow Brick Home<\/a>, maintains the classic pink sink and chrome fixtures but updates the tile with period-appropriate white subway tile<\/a> and black pencil trim<\/a>. The Hampton Niles<\/a> marble mosaic floor tile features a black-and-white basketweave–a slightly modern twist on a classic design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When working with a small space, it can be helpful to focus attention on one wall. Designer Kelli Fontana<\/a> subverts expectations by making the wall the reflective element in this stylish powder room. The clever use of the Antique Mirror Bevel tile<\/a> allows the window to become the focal point, while still providing the opportunity for a quick lipstick check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An intricate mosaic tile creates a sense of flow and rhythm, making your space feel larger. A marble mosaic<\/a>, like the Alison Victoria Elia Polished tile<\/a> shown here, features distinct variations in veining and color from piece to piece, offering lush appeal and lively visual texture. Shop our wide selection of mosaic tile<\/a> in a variety of styles and materials to achieve this stunning look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
