18 Attic Bathroom Ideas that Embrace the Design Challenge

post

Using part of an attic as a bathroom presents a true design challenge for both designers and homeowners. Fortunately, this option is possible with some great features, finishes, and perhaps a bit of skill and talent for good measure.

If you already have an attic bathroom, or if you’re considering adding one to your home, this list of attic bathroom ideas is not just functional; it also features many beautiful finishes and elements that truly bring the concept of transforming this unique space into a stylish part of the home to life.

Use Sloped Ceilings to Create a Cozy Shower Area

In this attic space, the sloped ceilings make it a perfect spot for a nice, cozy shower. Large, neutral-colored tile from floor to ceiling and on the walls gives it a nice, cave-like feel. The built-in niche provides a handy space for shampoo, body wash, and more, while a larger one holds a potted plant.

The recessed lighting also adds to the warm, inviting appeal of this versatile attic bathroom.

Have Fun with Playful Patterns

The perfect amount of natural light streams into this small bathroom, while white tile gives it a chic, modern touch. The paisley wallpaper brings two different materials, color schemes, and patterns together to create a fun, stylish space.

Bright brass finishes on the fixtures and accessories, along with a stunning white freestanding soaker bathtub, add yet another layer of effortless elegance to this cozy yet sophisticated bathroom design.

Design a Cozy Spa-Like Space

Gray limewash walls add another dimension to this attic bathroom, and the window adds ventilation and plenty of sunlight for a bright, airy feel. The large honey-toned bamboo vanity boasts tons of drawers for ample storage, and a modern stone bowl sink gives it the feeling of a faraway spa made just for relaxing.

Tile floors complement the gray wall color, making this feel like a cohesive, seamless space to unwind at the end of the day.

Make it Light and Bright

Designing a small bathroom, especially one in the attic, is particularly challenging because these areas tend to be small. However, when it comes to design ideas for small spaces, using light colors or white can make any area look and feel much larger.

In this bathroom, the white walls give it an airy, fresh feel, and a glass shower door also adds to the openness of the space. Black and white tile on the shower floor adds a playful element, and a wood table with marble countertops gives extra space for folded towels, toiletries, and more.

Play with Light and Color

In this small attic bathroom, a skylight brings in beams of natural light to make it feel much brighter and lighter. Here, the homeowner chose light blue tile for the shower to create a heavenly, lively vibe in the room.

A built-in bench and wall cubby add some extra functionality, offering you a place to sit down and rest, and a separate, convenient place for small items to be stored neatly away.

Maximize Every Square Inch

When it comes to challenging bathroom ideas like these, it’s important to try and use every single available square inch possible. In this example, a cubby is used to place the washing machine directly under a sunny window.

The use of white tile and white walls adds to the open feel, and a plethora of drawers directly across from the toilet give you loads of hidden storage. Even the small round mirror mounted above the sink adds brightness and functionality to this stylish contemporary bathroom, while the hexagon marble tile brings it another touch of classy elegance.

Use Your Roof Shape to Your Advantage

The large skylight on the sloped ceiling (or roof) of this attic bathroom brings it a flood of natural light, making this loft conversion a brilliant, roomy space. Installing a floating vanity like this one makes the space seem larger and gives it a high-end feel.

Choosing bright shades like white for the walls and light gray tile for the floors is always a good choice for bathroom design, especially when it’s located in this part of the home where space is at a premium.

Enjoy the View

When it comes to implementing some creative attic bathroom ideas, don’t forget the windows. Here, a large porthole window installed in this attic bathroom offers a lovely view of the world below. The L-shaped, built-in bench is a perfect place to rest and relax as you gaze outside.

While most of this space features white and gray marble, the black vanity with dark gray marble countertops lends this loft bathroom a subtle touch of bold style.

Get Creative with Finishes

Having an attic bathroom doesn’t mean that this space needs to be boring. Take this example, where gorgeous green herringbone tile adorns the shower, bringing the space a lively, whimsical touch.

Although this is a small attic bathroom, the use of color and a glass shower door gives it a sense of being much more open, as the stylish walk-in shower beckons you to come in and unwind.

Renovate with Luxury In Mind

If you want some more inspiration for sophisticated attic bathroom ideas, consider making every single finish in this space as high-end as possible. Here, the stunning marble tile adorns practically every surface, and the bright gold fixtures contribute to the overall luxurious appeal.

Note how the window is almost tucked away in a nook, bathing the stunning white soaker tub in rays of light. Adding some houseplants to the attic bathroom also brings it a lively finishing touch that elevates everyday experiences.

via Wrede

Play with Pops of Color

Not all attic bathroom ideas have to be featured in just white or gray. For example, this stunning loft bathroom boasts a terracotta colored tub and a matching floor for a warm, earthy effect, while the lively bright green wall tiles give it a vibrant pop.

The vibrant blue wall color above the tile creates an almost picturesque design, invoking the feeling of walking into a field of grass or looking at a beautiful painting of an outdoor scene. Although the layout here is small, the homeowner chose to use color as a way to invoke a playful sense of creative home design.

Incorporate Wood for a Lodge-Like Feel

Dark wood beams adorn the ceiling of this attic bathroom, giving it a cozy lodge-like vibe. The sand-colored floors and walls beautifully complement the overall design without being too overpowering.

Simple, subtle elements in this attic bathroom give it a refined component without feeling stuffy. A cubby against the wall adds a fun element where you can store anything from towels and bath accessories to home decor, like the earthen pottery shown here for style inspiration.

Try an Open Attic Bathroom Design

In this chic small attic bathroom, everything is laid out in a simple, open concept design and nothing is separated from the other. Even the shower is right next to the small soaker tub, which is placed near the skylight above.

The floating toilet adds a modern element, making this attic space a true contemporary bathroom for guests and residents alike. Matte black fixtures truly stand out against the neutral-toned tile, giving the space a modern, refined look that would fit in any house.

Add Natural Elements

The raw wood on the eaves and slabs of stone make this unusual attic bathroom a true standout among all the ideas previously shown. Incorporating natural elements like this gives the space a unique look and feel unlike what you’d find in most modern attic bathroom ideas today.

Using these types of materials creates a primal, cave-like feel to give the bathroom an unusual style all its own, and the windows give it a splash of light so the space doesn’t feel too dark and closed-in.

Bring in Some Furniture

A charming antique wooden chair placed just near the arched window in this beautiful attic bathroom makes it a space for more than just showering or bathing. Incorporating furniture into any bathroom lends it a multifunctional touch, where you can sit down and relax or gaze out the window and enjoy the view any time you wish.

Just like several other attic bathroom ideas we’ve seen, this one uses the cubby areas to its advantage, making them a handy storage place or to add some extra decor.

Adjust Features to Fit the Size of the Space

If you’re designing a particularly small attic bathroom, like this one, consider incorporating smaller features, like the ultra-thin sink and vanity shown here. When it comes to creative ideas, this one still provides added storage and a place to wash your face and brush your teeth, demonstrating that you don’t need to sacrifice function for square footage.

Adding a small piece of furniture, like a simple stool, and using an oversized mirror brings this contemporary bathroom even more elements of modern style.

Clever tilework and compact design in a sloped attic bathroom

This attic bathroom makes the most of its limited floor space and angled architecture with clever material choices. Glossy white subway tiles extend across the walls and bath panel, creating a sense of openness and brightness. The patterned floor tiles add contrast and charm, while a recessed shelf in the sloped wall offers both storage and visual interest.

This modern attic bathroom capitalizes on its angled ceiling with a custom walk-in shower that fits perfectly under the slope. The grey stone tiles on the walls and floor create a sleek, unified look. Frameless glass shower walls maintain an open and airy space. Natural light from the window and rustic wooden beams add character to the contemporary design.

19 vertical subway tile bathroom ideas to add height to a small space

post

With a classic rectangular shape, subway tile is a popular choice for kitchens and bathrooms. While traditionally installed horizontally, this tile also looks stunning when positioned vertically as well.

When subway tile is added vertically, it can create the illusion of a larger space. If you’re looking for inspiration for a small bathroom, here are the most inspiring vertical subway tile bathroom ideas designed to add height to your space.

Use White Vertical Tile From Floor to Ceiling

Installing white subway tile from the floor to the ceiling gives this bathroom a sleek, distinctive look. By installing vertical stacked tile throughout the space, the bathroom looks larger and feels like it has higher ceilings, even if the ceilings are standard or low height.

A window brings in natural light, adding a feeling of openness and airiness to the bathroom. Larger standard tiles on the bathroom floor “ground” the space, and the large round mirror above the floating vanity adds functionality and modern style.

Get Creative with Color

A warm, green subway tile covers the shower walls in this cozy modern bathroom. Black tile on the ceiling and white tile on the shower floors add a bold contrast and give the space a uniquely modern look.

However, the green subway tile makes this bathroom stand out and gives it visual interest. The small nook next to the shower also features contrasting black tile, while potted plants lend it a touch of earthy, natural appeal.

Keep it Classic with Black and White Tile

Classic white subway tiles adorn the upper half of the bathroom walls around the tub and shower in a vertical stack pattern, while larger black tiles below add a fun, two-toned element. This bathroom is a prime example of classic subway tile, but the black grout adds a slightly fun, modern touch to the space.

The bold black marble tile not only surrounds the wall of the tub, but it’s also carried through to the exterior and onto the floors, adding a dramatic touch to what might be an otherwise all white bathroom.

Add Playful Pops with Cheery Colored Tile

This whimsical bathroom space boasts a peachy salmon colored subway tile that goes from the floor to the ceiling and into the shower. The black shower trim, showerhead, and cabinets bring in a dark contrast that helps the colorful tile stand out for an eye-catching look.

Another fun feature in this bathroom is the black and white Victorian floor tile, while a black and white toilet finishes the space to bring everything together in seamless fashion.

Make Things Moody with Dark Colored Subway Tile and Bold Features

If you want to create a mood, choose subway tile in a deep, dark hue like the subway tile shower in this bathroom. Brushed brass lighting, hardware, and fixtures stand apart against the darker colors and give the space a uniquely bold component.

Solid stone patterned tiles on the shower floor give this bathroom a sense of high-end luxury. All of the cabinetry is painted to match the tile color perfectly, while the solid stone countertop coordinates with the floor.

Mix and Match Tiles in Different Styles

While this bathroom features a vertical layout for the gorgeous gray stone subway shower tile, pebble-style tiles adorn the shower walls and floor. Black metal surrounds the clear glass shower enclosure and is also found on the faucets and hardware.

A black framed oval wall mirror above the vanity and two pendant lights add a touch of brightness to the space. Combining two different styles of tile gives this bathroom added texture and helps to create a unique design.

Make the Bathroom Modern with Updated Details

Classic white subway tile easily gives any bathroom a classic look, but this example uses darker gray hues and larger-sized tile for a fresh update. The sleek gray subway tile on the shower and walls creates a modern edge that gives the room a sense of style and sophistication.

Black trim across the wall draws attention to the white pedestal sink and black mirrored medicine cabinet. Elements of stainless steel help to break up the space.

Use Grout Lines to Create a Pattern

This fresh, cheerful bathroom features vertical subway tile on the walls, while visible grout lines add a playful visual pattern. A different design is featured on the adjacent wall, and tiny square floor tiles add another element of interest that creates a unique offset pattern.

The large frameless mirror above the floating white ceramic sink makes the space feel larger, and touches of warm wood and natural elements keep it from feeling too cold.

Add Instant Interest with Textured Subway Tile

Rather than installing classic ceramic or marble subway tiles, the homeowner opted for something a bit bolder. This vertical tile has a unique texture that creates an almost crinkled, wallpaper-like appearance.

Combined with a large round mirror and a beautiful vanity and sink, this bathroom design makes the wall the focal point and main attraction. Black wall hooks and a black metal shelf nestled against the wall add a pop of contrasting color and lots of functionality to the space.

Use Vertical Subway Tile to Create a Calming Oasis

Although this bathroom is small, the large white subway tile with dark grout gives it a spa-like, seamless appearance. The black ceiling and black fixtures in the shower help to create a calming sense that this space is a truly relaxing retreat.

The use of straight lines in a vertical pattern like this, along with the straight lines of the rectangular mirror and vanity, all work together for a seamless look and a comforting, cohesive effect.

Add Neutral Hues for a Soothing Color Scheme

In this bathroom, soft, clay-colored subway tile on the walls contributes to the overall neutral color scheme for a warm, timeless look. Using neutral colors like this helps to create a blank canvas that can easily be punctuated with artwork and other items.

A unique soaker tub with a wooden surround and large floor tiles all feature similar tones, yet they vary enough to give the bathroom a subtly different look throughout. This bathroom design proves that you don’t always need bold, dark, or vibrant colors to make a statement.

Elevate the Bathroom with Original Subway Tile Designs

In this bathroom, original subway tiles give it a timeless aesthetic, but the combination of both vertical and horizontal tile layouts adds a uniquely whimsical effect. The crisp white tile is offset by the dark grout that makes it easy to distinguish the tiles’ varying shapes and patterns.

Note how the horizontal tile is the main attraction, but the vertical pattern is featured on the tub-side wall, helping to create a stark distinction between the two different areas within the bathroom.

Install Large Tile for a Sense of Drama

Large, elongated black subway tile in a vertical pattern makes this bathroom a true standout. The sleek black tile covers the walls, while the wood floors and angled wooden ceiling bring in a more rustic, natural touch.

A unique metal soaker tub adds to the unusual components in this small bathroom. Choosing to install the tile from the floor to the ceiling helps draw the eye upward, giving the illusion of a larger space. The white floating vanity and medicine cabinet bring it a pop of brightness to break up the room.

via Vipp

Combine Subway Tile Patterns

While this bathroom is completely covered in white subway tile, the different patterns give it a touch of distinction. Note how the walls have a vertical stacked layout, but the floors use the same tile in a herringbone pattern.

Mixing and matching the same tile in a different pattern is a smart, budget-friendly way to get a dramatic effect without breaking the bank. Stainless steel fixtures, a small wood stool, and a live potted plant are added to give this bathroom a few more elements that warm things up.

Have Fun with Different Colors

This small bathroom proves that you don’t have to use tile and other design elements all in the same color. The luscious green subway tile adds a fresh, earthy component to the room, and a wood floating vanity topped with white round sinks gives it a fun modern touch.

The oval-shaped mirror, black faucets, and a pair of wall sconces look fun while adding functionality. Large square stone floor tiles in a neutral beige help to create a grounded effect.

Stay Focused on Materials

Installing vertical subway tile is an easy way to make a small bathroom look and feel larger. However, the type of tile you choose also plays a role in the overall design.

Here, the bathroom features gray and white marble subway tile that adds a sense of luxury. A different type of subway tile on the ceiling gives another touch of uniqueness to this modern bathroom.

Put Subway Tile in the Spotlight

Small white vertical subway tile covers practically every surface in this bathroom. Although the floor tile features a different shape, material, and color, it’s clear that the white subway tile is the star of the show. Using simple stainless steel fixtures and avoiding too many additional colors helps the subway tile truly shine.

Don’t Be Afraid to Go Bold

Sleek, shiny dark green subway tile with white grout adds a bold pattern in modern, straight lines to this bathroom. Classic black-and-white checkerboard floor tile brings a playful, whimsical touch.

16 Terrazzo Bathroom Ideas for a Playful and Contemporary Look

post

If you’re pondering a bathroom remodel, you can change everything from the wall color and tub or shower to the sink, vanity, flooring, and more. When it comes to adding bold elements to this space, terrazzo tiles and flooring are a unique choice.

This versatile material is made of a mixture of small pieces of glass or stone, a binder, and your choice of an array of beautiful colors suitable for any space. If you need inspiration for your bathroom, explore these creative terrazzo bathroom ideas to create a playful and contemporary look.

Make it Cohesive with Terrazzo Tile Walls

Rather than just using it for the floor, the homeowner chose to apply terrazzo tiles to the walls as well. This carries the design up from the floor to the wall and up to the ceiling. Not only does this design technique make a bathroom look and feel more cohesive, but it allows you to keep this beautiful material consistently applied throughout the entire bathroom.

Install terrazzo in a bathroom with lots of natural light to help highlight this material’s beautiful texture and blend of colors.

Try Grey Terrazzo Tiles for a Modern Element

The use of grey terrazzo tiles and a bright white floating vanity creates an instant sense of contrast. An elongated mirror with a white frame also makes this space a distinctively modern bathroom.

The light grey terrazzo floor and walls work together to carry the color scheme throughout the bright bathroom, and large drawers with matching white hardware add style and tons of extra storage to make the space more functional.

via Vipp

Get Creative with Lighting in a Modern Bathroom

This modern grey bathroom completely changes with the addition of a bright LED light surrounding the large round mirror.

Not only does it highlight the beauty of the speckled grey terrazzo wall and floor, but it elevates the bathroom’s already modern style. Adding this unusual light makes it easy to create a welcoming yet refined light-filled bathroom.

Add Terrazzo to Shower Walls

In this chic and simple bathroom, the homeowner opted to install terrazzo on the shower walls instead of the floors. This instantly delineates between the rest of the room and the shower space which gives the stand-up shower a high-end, elevated look and feel.

Using dark gray floors throughout the bathroom keeps things grounded, while the stylish terrazzo makes this pretty bright bathroom a welcoming place for bathing and unwinding.

Try Mixing Colors and Materials

In this bold contemporary bathroom, the homeowner installed green skinny tiles along the wall for a colorful, cheeky backsplash. However, they mixed other unique materials by adding dark greenish colored terrazzo highlighted with other colors for a truly dramatic aesthetic.

A simple white sink and faucet serve their function while allowing the tile and colorful spotted terrazzo to shine in this unique, eye-catching bathroom. If you want to get creative, try other options like pink tiles for the backsplash and a pink sink for a completely different vibe.

Incorporate Terrazzo Into Your Fixtures

This stylish minimalist space features a catchy terrazzo floor that carries through to the sunken built-in bathtub for a fluent look that seems to blend the two seamlessly.

Simple yet modern bathroom decor adds functionality and a fun, sculptural element to this elegant bathroom. If you’re thinking of designing a pretty modern bathroom clad with terrazzo, this is an excellent example of how to do it in style.

Use Color and Shape for a Whimsical Space

This cool modern bathroom is loaded with fun, playful features like the mint green curved wall and a trio of oval-shaped wall mirrors just above the vanity and sink. A floating vanity is painted purple for another fresh pop of color, and the white top adds a sleek finishing touch.

The warm wall color goes well with the classic, bright terrazzo flooring infused with subtle specks of gray. A rattan vanity painted in a vibrant color or a classic wood-stained vanity in a unique hue would also look interesting here.

Create a Bold and Dramatic Design with Terrazzo Tiles

Instead of traditional white walls, this homeowner opted for various shades of black, white, and gray. The stunning white and black terrazzo installed throughout the shower complements the other features in the room, including the black trim on the glass shower’s matching door frame, the black sink, and the black fixtures and hardware.

Adding stylish gray glazed wall subway tile throughout the rest of the space makes for a really elegant and elevated terrazzo bathroom.

Try Using Terrazzo to Create Shelves

There are plenty of white square tiles to be found in this mostly minimalist neutral bathroom, but the designer also proved that you don’t have to use just white surfaces by adding slabs of terrazzo as shelving.

Doing this brings in some more texture and visual interest along with everyday functionality. You don’t have to use just neutral light colors here. Instead, try going even bolder with blue terrazzo, purple terrazzo, or other forms of colorful terrazzo to make your space stand out.

Add in Metallic Features to Make Terrazzo Pop

The neutral terrazzo in this minimalist bathroom looks stylish and sleek. However, the homeowner installed bright gold fixtures that gleam brightly against the otherwise beige walls and floor.

Rather than installing just a single floating timber vanity, they also added the terrazzo to the entire sink, except one singular drawer. The results in a decidedly simple yet chic contemporary bathroom that exudes a feeling of luxury without being too overdone.

Incorporate Terrazzo in Several Places

This gray and white airy bathroom features a large size with a sleek and modern black soaker tub. An array of gold hardware adds to the bathroom’s elegant aesthetic. Terrazzo tiles in white and gray cover the floors, while the same gray and white terrazzo tiles are incorporated into the floating vanity’s sinks.

This unique gray and white terrazzo sink carries the design from the vanity area to the floors, while the rest of the vanity matches the white walls for an excellent example of pure contemporary bathroom design.

Use Terrazzo Tiles for the Sink and Backsplash

Wide planks of white wooden shiplap line the walls of this bathroom, giving it a splash of rustic appeal. The grey terrazzo with tiny flecks of white brings everything together beautifully, and it’s added to the walls as a simple backsplash as well as on the sinks.

This beautiful bathroom showcases the use of terrazzo tiles in a way that’s stylish without being too cold or modern. You don’t need to install this material everywhere to enjoy the beauty of a terrazzo bathroom.

Be Creative with Green Tiles Made of Terrazzo

This smaller bathroom doubles as a laundry room, so every inch of space counts. The homeowner opted for classic white subway tile throughout, while the dark green terrazzo flooring adds the perfect amount of drama.

Since this bathroom doesn’t have much natural light, they opted to install a wall mirror with LED for more lighting. Although the space is small, it proves you can still enjoy the beauty of terrazzo flooring in any bathroom. If you’re not a fan of green, try a more neutral hue like rust-colored terrazzo.

Incorporate Bold Terrazzo for an Ultra-Modern Bathing Space

This bold warm-colored bathroom is chock-full of modern elements from the unique light fixtures to the fluted, textured walls. An oval tub and matching white sink punctuated with matte black hardware echo the modern design.

Terrazzo tiles were added about halfway up the wall behind the sink, toilet, and white sculptural bathtub, while the upper section has textured walls, giving this ultra-modern terrazzo bathroom a bold, dramatic vibe. A rust vanity would also look incredible in this space.

A simple pattern in soft shades of white and gray adds a calming effect to this bathroom design. The wall-mounted sink and simple shower with glass doors give this bathroom a sleek, modern feel.

Go Bold with Brilliant Green Tiles

With a funky geometric design and brilliant green hue, this is one of the best mosaic tile ideas for a fun, modern bathroom. Although the walls are crafted of bright white tile, installing the brilliant green tiles adds a playful element here and gives the bathroom a much more casual and fun vibe.

A uniquely shaped window just above the toilet adds ventilation, natural light, and a geometric-inspired silhouette that’s echoed in the design of the floor tiles.

Create a Sophisticated Space with Black and White Tile

A black-and-white bathroom is a popular choice for many homeowners, and this example is a perfect source of modern inspiration. The black fixtures, wall sconce, sink, and mirror play beautifully against the clean, crisp white subway tiles on the walls.

However, the star of the show is the playful mosaic tile that features a similar black-and-white color scheme to tie everything together seamlessly.

Pick a Playful Pattern to Break Up a Small Space

Using the same color or theme throughout a bathroom isn’t unique, but it can be a bit bland in smaller spaces or a guest bathroom. Here, the designer chose a fun, funky mosaic tile installation for the floor to visually “break up” the monochrome motif.

This example proves that adding a bold pattern is a great choice, especially if you’re dealing with a smaller room that needs some more variety in terms of texture and tone.

Get Artistic With an Unusual Tile Pattern and Color Combo

The limewash wall, a large animal skull wall mount, and a gigantic window already make this bathroom unique. However, adding some ceramic mosaic floor tile gives this bathroom even more of an unusual and creative vibe.

The choice to install the tiles in a diagonal pattern adds interest to the eye, and the choice of black, white, and turquoise blue brings a cheerful pop of color to the space and gives you the feeling that there’s much more to explore.

Choose Starburst Mosaic Tile for a Mid-Century Vibe

The raised white subway tile in this bathroom is devoid of grout lines, giving it an ultra-sleek, modern aesthetic. Installing brilliant bathroom mosaics in a fun starburst pattern adds a cheeky, mid-century modern feel to this space. Bright brass accents and hardware add another layer of modernity to this fun, updated bathroom.

Moroccan Floor Tiles Make Any Bathroom Elegant

Everything about this bathroom screams elegance: from the beautiful soaker tub and the potted plant in the window to the addition of granite trim. The Moroccan-style floor tiles in soft, muted tones add another element of luxury and beauty to this warm, welcoming bathroom along with a touch of fun.

Note how the walls are covered in white subway tile, allowing the tile to slightly stand out and the main focal point (the tub) to be the most important element in the room.

Try Mosaic Tile in a Creative Geo Pattern

Unlike some of the other examples, this bathroom boasts white wall tile with black grout lines that make each tile stand out rather than blend together. A black vanity, a black framed mirror, and a piece of modern black and white wall art add to the two-toned theme.

However, the mosaic floor tiles in different shapes feature a slight departure with a funky geometric pattern in varying colors like black, white, blue, and brown.

Use Mosaic Tile to Create a Theme

A smattering of houseplants like small succulents, potted plants, and crawling vines contribute to this bathroom’s nature-inspired theme.

Incorporating other natural elements like wood also works to tie it all together. But the true star here is the brilliant, bright green mosaic floor tiles featured in a lively shade that helps this bathroom stand apart from the crowd while paying homage to Mother Nature.

Add Colored Tile in a Complimentary Shade

The light dove gray walls and warm, earthy tones like the burgundy color on the floating vanity give this bathroom a distinguished, upscale look. However, that doesn’t mean that mosaic tiles can’t be added, too.

In this bathroom, the floor tiles are installed in a fun modern geometric design, and the beautiful, light blue color complements the rest of the colors without detracting from them to create a cohesive aesthetic and a nice contrast.

Let the Mosaic Tile Make the Statement

Sunny yellow walls certainly help to make this large bathroom a unique, standout space with a slightly funky feel. However, it’s the floor tiles that steal the show with their unusual, dramatic pattern and tri-color design.

Opting for a floating vanity here was a smart choice, since it allows the tile to carry through to the edge of the wall and doesn’t allow the vanity to detract from its bold and brilliant design.

Install a Muted Two-Toned Tile for a Modern Touch

This sleek, contemporary bathroom is a work of art with its minimalist feel and open floor plan. The designer added some modern wall art, wall sculptures, and even a small sculpture resting on the vanity to tie the theme together.

Instead of installing mosaic tiles in a single shade, these tiles feature shiny and matte black colors together which create a unique geometric pattern that contributes to the space’s artsy style.

Pair Minimal Flooring with Mosaic tile Shower Walls as an Accent

While bathroom flooring is an obvious choice to integrate mosaics, the shower wall is an ideal place to integrate them as well. This creates a delicate accent in an otherwise modern and minimal environment.

17 Inspiring Green Bathroom Tile Ideas for a Refreshing Makeover

post

From the shower floors to the walls, installing bathroom tile is an excellent way to give this important room a major refresh. If you’re looking for inspiration, green tiles add a fresh pop of color to your bathing space. Whether it’s a sleek subway wall tile, light marbled hues, or stunning herringbone, the possibilities are endless.

You can add new green-colored floor tiles, elevate a walk-in shower, or decorate the walls with this versatile material. A green tile bathroom makes both a powder room and a main bathroom look and feel more lively. In the list below, you can find the most inspiring green bathroom tile ideas that will give your bathroom a refreshing makeover.

Dark Green Subway Tiles Add Drama

The dark, deep forest green color of these subway tiles gives this bathroom a bold, dramatic vibe. Note how the white grout lines help to make the details and the color of the tile pop.

In this example, the homeowner chose to install the tiles from the floor to the ceiling for an impressive effect.

Mix and Match Green Tiles with Other Materials

Although green tiles are prominent in this bathroom, they’re mixed with other materials as well. The swirling marble floors and tub surround give the room a sense of luxe sophistication.

Using white cabinets and fixtures also helps to break up the space so it doesn’t feel too monochrome or bland. Mixing the two materials (and color schemes) also gives this particular bathroom design an elevated look and feel.

via Picky Living

Add Metallics to Make Green Tile Pop

The dark green tiles in this bathroom-laundry room combo are bold and deep, giving it a contemporary vibe. Installing sleek brushed gold hardware including some towel racks, the rainfall showerhead, and other accents to match not only visually breaks up the space, but it also lends it a sleek, sophisticated component.

Instead of adding standard bland builder’s grade fixtures, the homeowner chose to upgrade to something a bit more high-end, making this one of the best green bathroom ideas on our list.

Try a Light Green Herringbone Tile

If you want your green bathroom tile to be a bit more subtle, consider this example. Yes, the shower cove has green walls, but the shade is much lighter and has a slightly marbled effect with tones of ivory or creamy white mixed in.

The choice to install herringbone tile also gives this bathroom a sweet, soft look that’s not too modern or cold. It also pairs nicely with the white paint throughout the rest of the bathroom, giving it a perfect, subtle pop of color without being too overbearing.

Combine Colors and Patterns

Here, the bathroom walls feature an almost olive-green colored tile with a sleek, reflective high-shine finish. However, the bathroom floor tile boasts a classic, retro-inspired black-and-white pattern. The combination of these two color and pattern choices gives the space a unique, dramatic look that most people don’t typically see in standard bathrooms.

Combining the two styles and colorways is a fun way to mix and match tones to create a bold style that gives the bathroom a distinct yet casual vibe.

Use Green Tile for the Floors

Although this bathroom is mainly white, the floors are a dark green tile, giving it a dramatic contrast. One of our top tips for green bathroom tiles is to choose one single component of the room to add green, leaving the rest a separate color.

Adding colored tile to a bathroom instantly gives it a completely different look, and it’s an easy upgrade. While this particular design choice isn’t overly dramatic, it still does a nice job of making the space feel warm and inviting.

Try Tile in a Vibrant Green Color

This bright, almost emerald-green tile makes the bathroom in this example stand apart. The unique color of the tile gives it a modern look, and the vanity and other accents have been painted to match.

A large skylight allows natural light to come into the space, and it helps to highlight the unusual tile color and modern design. The floor and bathtub are featured in a neutral, terracotta color that helps to showcase the contrast of the vivid green bathroom tiles on the wall and backsplash.

Install Green Tiles as an Accent Wall

Using deep, dark green tile is a bold choice for any interior design, but it’s especially dramatic in a bathroom. This space features a sleek, modern green tile all along one corner and throughout the shower except for the floor.

Installing this thin, sleek rectangular tile this way creates an accent wall, making the green-colored tile a focal point that contrasts nicely against the diamond-shaped neutral tile on the bathroom floor and the bright white sink.

Apply Green Bathroom Tile to Part of the Wall

Instead of green wallpaper, the homeowner chose to install dark green tiles on the wall. However, they only added it about 3/4 of the way up instead of to the ceiling.

This design works well in smaller bathrooms since it prevents the tile from “swallowing” the room entirely. Allowing the upper section of the white walls to remain helps to make this compact space look and feel just a bit larger.

Bring in Luxury with Green Marble Tile

If you like the idea of green bathrooms but don’t want the tile to be too dark or bright, consider installing green-toned marble instead. In this example, the shower walls feature large, high-end marble tiles with a deep green hue and subtle swirls of white.

Black trim on the glass shower door and the choice to use black shower heads make this bathroom look sophisticated and luxurious.

Use Tile to Express Your Personal Style

This charming contemporary bathroom boasts a fun interplay of textures, patterns, and colors. The light grassy green tile on the shower walls adds a fresh, natural touch and pops nicely against the white tile trim.

Note how the rest of the bathroom has wood floors, but the shower features a fun and funky two-toned hexagonal tile. The homeowner also added patterned wallpaper to the hallway and a different pattern to the adjoining room, making this home a cheerful place that encourages you to have fun with interior design.

Make Tile the Star of the Show

Green is a versatile color that works well in lots of spaces, including the bathroom. Here, the deep earthy green tile on the walls gives the space a natural feel.

There are not many other features in this particular bathroom, which allows the tile to become the main attraction. Choose from several shades of green to find the one that works best for your space.

Choose Green Tile in a Fun Shape

Not all tile has to be in a square or rectangular shape. In this bathroom, a charming light green hexagonal tile was used for the bathroom floor. It’s a great way to make a space feel fun and modern while also giving it a relaxing, spa-like feel.

The large window lets lots of natural light into the room, and the rest of the space features white to help make the green tile floors pop.

Apply Green Tile to Unique Room Features

The concept of a green tile bathroom is enticing, but you might not want to use it on every surface. Here, the homeowner installed a beautiful textured green tile over a unique feature — the oddly-shaped wall behind the toilet.

This draws the eye toward this part of the bathroom while giving it a nice look next to the metallic fixtures and simple color scheme. This example proves that tile can be a great way to add finishing touches to your bathroom.

Use Green to Make a Statement

A beautiful claw foot tub and luxurious floor tile give this bathroom a luxurious vibe. The brushed gold fixtures and gold claw feet on the tub tie the look together. However, adding the shiny bright green subway tiles brings the bathroom a touch of modern style. Blending these styles is a good way to make a statement in your own home.

Incorporate Tile for a Natural Feel

Wood and stone accents give this bathroom a calming, natural vibe. The choice to install unique green tile on the shower walls brings it all together. Rather than creating a traditional bathroom with white tile, this design features a lively green tile that complements the space’s nature-inspired aesthetic.

Pair vertical Green tiles with black and white flooring

The black and white chevron flooring in his modern bathroom with a black vanity and black fixtures is balanced out by the use of subtle green tiles on half of the bathroom walls. The combination of the different tiling and the two shades of green makes for a unique and elegant effect that makes the white bathtub stand out.

16 Claw Foot Tub Bathroom Ideas for an Elegant, Historic Touch

post

When beginning a master bathroom remodel, there are a lot of decisions to be made for each element of the room and endless options to choose from. One change that should not be overlooked is switching out your existing shower or tub unit for a freestanding tub.

A traditional clawfoot tub can transform the entire look and feel of your bathroom, bringing an elegant and luxurious touch to any renovation. In the list below, you can find the most stylish clawfoot tub bathroom ideas to serve as inspiration for your next remodel.

An All-White Bathroom Paired With Brown Accents and a Vintage Clawfoot Tub

This type of layout is the perfect answer for anyone who loves the look of a claw foot bathtub but would still like the functionality of a separate shower. Crisp white subway tiles surround the space, reflecting the bright sunlight streaming through the window.

The tub has detailed silver feet that echo the silver of the shower head. A rich brown wood vanity with brown towels and matching accent decor completes the look by adding depth to the room.

A Sleek, Modern Bathroom With a Deep Clawfoot Tub and Floating Sink

This clawfoot tub is placed directly in the shower area, and the depth of the tub itself allows for a relaxing bath without the need for additional space in this small bathroom.

A floating sink and toilet in the same white material as the clawfoot tub bring everything together for a cohesive look. Using stainless steel plumbing fixtures throughout maintains the theme, while mirror cabinets provide adequate bathroom storage.

A Functionality-packed Small Bathroom with a Traditional Look

This small bathroom also includes the washing machine, on quite a small surface, yet there is still space to let the clawfoot tub shine. The classic chrome fixtures and the vintage mirror with the wooden frame enhance this classic look even more. The different materials stand out powerfully against the powder pink wall color on the walls above the white tiles.

Embrace a Vintage Aesthetic by Pairing Detailed Flooring, a Clawfoot Tub, and White Subway Tiles

This small bathroom is bursting with personality and vintage charm. It perfectly melds updated fixtures with a farmhouse bathroom to create a style that’s as unique as it is lovely.

Intricate flooring is the perfect counter to the simple tile walls, and the clawfoot tub highlights both of these ideals as well. The lattice window, planked ceiling, and ladder rack in this bathroom all exude a country feel that’s sure to delight guests.

A Bold Clawfoot Bathtub With Gold Hardware for a Dramatic Focal Point

For a contemporary style, pair a large clawfoot tub with a simplistic, yet elegant, design. The pale blue of the walls is echoed in the gingham pattern on the curtain, as well as the fresh flowers on the window sill.

Large white planks used for wainscoting add just a touch of visual interest around the bathroom. The pop of gold from the faucets and the dramatic cast iron feet work together to create a luxurious bathtub worthy of magazines.

Add a Touch of Mid-Century Modern Styling With a Large Clawfoot Tub and Patterned Hexagon Floor Tiles

This unique, throwback bathroom remodel is a fun take on retro design. Reddish-brown hexagonal tiles set in a honeycomb pattern with off-white counterparts create an original flooring that sets the tone for this space.

The design of the clawfoot tub itself is not the typical style we’ve seen so far, adding to the one-of-a-kind look of the bathroom. A few antique accessories on the window sill add a bit of charm, and the wooden tray stretched across the tub mimics the brown tones on the floor.

Create a Unique Space by Pairing a Deep Tub With Recessed Shelving and Shower-Height Tiling

This bathroom remodel repurposes the shower area for a deep clawfoot tub. Shower height tiles help to protect the walls against splashes, and the recessed shower caddy keeps all the most used items within easy reach.

The sandy brown paint used for the walls is reflected in the tones of the wood stool and striped towel, creating a cohesive feeling in the space. A marble checkerboard floor adds a dash of luxury to this bathroom without being overwhelming.

A Black and White Bathroom With a Clawfoot Tub to Make the Most of a Small Space

A small bathroom can pose additional challenges for a remodel. However, the lack of extra room doesn’t mean that a claw foot tub is entirely out of the question.

This classic black and white bathroom uses a smaller tub to achieve the look of a large, grand master bathroom without sacrificing space that could be better used elsewhere. You can spice up this style further by including a few pops of a bright, bold color, such as with linens or decor.

Channel Bohemian Elegance With a Compact Clawfoot Tub, Intricate Flooring, and Off-White Linens

Anyone looking for a more relaxed and airy bathroom will love this style. Off-white linens and wood accents work together to create a bathroom with a natural presence while maintaining a super clean feel.

Detailed, almost Moroccan, tile flooring adds visual interest and serves as an excellent contrast to the stark white clawfoot tub and uniform square wall tiles. Using the window sill as a storage space for essentials is both practical and decorative, enhancing the casual vibe of the bathroom.

A Blend of Modernism and Traditional Design by Pairing Industrial Touches With Natural Elements

Light wood floors, off-white walls, and black accents are a tried and true combination that stands the test of time, and this bathroom is no different. Showcasing a perfect combination of modern elements and traditional style, this bathroom provides the best of both worlds.

The large windows and high ceilings are also ideal for plant life, allowing you to bring a touch of greenery into the bathroom for a refreshing air.

Elevate the Look of a Simple Clawfoot Tub by Using Bold Colors and Detailed Accents

Looking for a breathtaking bathroom that will leave your guests speechless? Take inspiration from this green and gold bathroom with a clawfoot tub. Victorian-esque flooring paired with vintage fixtures and bold green tiles reminiscent of Scheele’s green transports this bathroom back to the 1800s while maintaining modern comforts.

The brassy-gold hardware found throughout pairs beautifully with the aesthetic created here, and using a sheet of glass as a barrier for the shower area helps to provide division where needed without subtracting from the room.

Simple White Walls and Minimalist Hardware for a Fresh Take on Bathroom Designs

If you love the look of a clawfoot tub but want a much more subdued bathroom, this minimalist style may be the solution. This no-frills clawfoot tub is large enough for a luxurious bathing experience but doesn’t have purely decorative elements like cast iron feet or sloped sides.

The hardware is discretely built into the wall and creates a sleek appearance that promotes calm and relaxation. A small wooden shelving unit serves as the perfect spot for storing bath essentials while maintaining the minimalist appeal.

Take Inspiration From Farmhouse-Style Bathroom Design to Create a Cozy Bathroom Remodel

At the end of our list of clawfoot tub bathroom ideas, we have a cozy farmhouse-style bathroom featuring a sizable sink basin, a neutral color scheme, and classic square ceramic tiles. This bathroom makes the most out of its limited square footage by using every inch efficiently.

The tub, vanity, and toilet fill the room without being cumbersome, allowing each element to be functional but not in the way of each other.

This bathroom with clawfoot tub has a predominantly white color palette, with white walls and white wall tiles to protect the area around the shower. The clawfoot tub stands out on the beige hexagon floor tiles and the chrome fixtures add a beautiful metallic touch.

A Clawfoot Tub stands out against a Half-Tile wall in a Classic Bathroom remodel

This classic bathroom features a half-tile wall with white tiles on the bottom and a dark gray wall color on the top half, which is decorated with a nice selection of vintage frames. The classic clawfoot tub with steel legs gives this space a farmhouse bathroom look that is unique and personal.

19 Black and White Bathroom Ideas for a Contrasting Effect

post

Designing a black and white bathroom is a popular choice for renovations, helping to modernize the house and create a more modern bathroom appearance. However, there are endless options and styles to choose from, which can quickly become overwhelming and make an already large undertaking seem that much bigger.

To make the task of finding inspiration just a bit easier, you can find the most inspiring black-and-white bathroom ideas in the list below to get that custom look you’ve been dreaming of.

Make White Tiles Pop With Black Grout and a Black Ceiling

This bathroom uses a combination of different titles for a unique visual texture. Vertical white subway tile and much smaller square tile both use dark grout, resulting in a cohesive appearance.

The large, rimless mirror strengthens the sleek look of the room, while the two-faucet sink mimics the style of a double vanity without the extra bulk. Silver plumbing and natural wood and brown accents complete the look.

Bring Visual Texture into the Space by Blending Tile Patterns

Similarly to the previous photo, this bathroom pairs two different tiles for a chic visual appeal. The black hexagonal tile floor and herringbone tile walls with their contrasting grout create a unique black-and-white bathroom design.

Black shower hardware, interesting decor pieces, and fluffy white towels decorate the space while pairing well with the warm wood finish of the vanity.

Create a Dramatic Bathroom With Black Walls and White Cabinets

This dark and moody black and white bathroom incorporates multiple different materials in its design. Dark wood and exposed beams along the roof mirror the rich wood flooring.

The uncommon elongated black tile and dark grout provide a dramatic contrast to the bright white vanity that’s wall-mounted to create a floating effect. Long pull handles on the cabinets also serve to pique interest, especially when combined with the uniquely designed mirror and elegant lighting.

Embrace a Classic Look With Checkerboard Flooring and Dark Wood Accents

A black-and-white color scheme can help a small bathroom make a big impact. White tiles line the walls, creating a classic style that’s only enhanced by the checkerboard floor. The white sink and shower curtain are balanced well by the black storage cabinet, and the white toilet with a black lid is the perfect bridge between the two.

Silver hardware throughout is the right choice for this space, as is the glass divider separating the shower area from the rest of the room.

Make a Bold Statement With Unique Black and White Tile Throughout the Room

This bold master bathroom is bursting with personality and is a perfect example of how patterns can be used for a unique and dramatic effect. By continuing the design from the floor and along the walls surrounding the bathtub, the eye is immediately drawn to this area as the focal point.

Solid black paint on the adjacent wall creates contrast with the pattern without distracting from it or disturbing the theme. The unique decorative chair is an excellent finishing touch for this bathroom.

Pair White Walls and Ceiling With Black Floor Tile, Trim, and Cabinetry

For a more modern space, try blending different shapes, patterns, and materials within the same bathroom. This example photo uses square white tiles, hexagonal floor tile, a round mirror, and an abstract rug to make a visually appealing bathroom.

Black trim and cabinetry tie in well with the flooring, allowing the room to feel more balanced overall. A few accessories in a new color can bring in an interesting pop or two like the subtle copper tones do here.

Place a Checkerboard Floor, Black Curtain, and Subtle Black Accents in a Solid White Bathroom

Classic white subway tile is an effective tool to brighten a small bathroom with limited lighting. This photo shows how this black and white bathroom packs a lot into minimal square footage, using black accents to provide contrast and depth into the room and prevent the white from becoming overpowering.

The custom shower unit also creates an air of originality, as does the creative placement of the faucet on the vanity.

Use Brass Accents to Bring an Air of Luxury to Your Black and White Bathroom

Similar in style to some of our previous modern black-and-white bathroom ideas, this photo example uses a combination of black hexagonal floor tile and white walls as the base for the space. However, it then builds upon this look for a more custom appearance by using brass hardware throughout.

The almost vintage feel of these items transforms this space from a standard black and white bathroom to a stunning room that will stand the test of time.

Combine Modern and Retro Design Style to Create a Space Unique to Your Home

This bathroom with black marble floor tiles and white walls showcases incredible natural lighting and a freestanding tub perfect for a long, relaxing bath. Light natural wood accents and plant life help to make a refreshing bathroom that anyone will enjoy spending time in. The section of plain white paint along the top of the walls is a great touch, serving as a transition area from the tiles to the ceiling.

Show Off Your Personality With Boldly Patterned Tiles and a Stunning Black Sink

Your black-and-white bathroom doesn’t have to be formulaic in its design. A fun and funky tile floor or walls can make all the difference. This photo example shows a one-of-a-kind dotted tile covering the walls and a stunning black sink used as both an accent piece and an anchor for the space.

Though this look works extremely well in a half bath or powder room setup, it can be even more remarkable in a larger bathroom with a black tub or shower to match.

Lean Into Simplicity With a Black and White Bathroom and Laundry Room Combo

This sleek black and white bathroom combines many of the design elements we’ve seen so far. That being said, unlike the other ideas, this example photo tackles the added complication of designing a bathroom that also has a laundry area included.

Fortunately, a black-and-white bathroom palette can easily handle this challenge. Gray and light tan accents work well in this bathroom, and a mirror with a built-in medicine cabinet can help with storage.

Make Your All-White Bathroom Pop With Minimal Touches of Black

This master bathroom also follows the trend of hexagonal black tile on the floor and white square tile on the walls but with a decently sized bathtub with a built-in shower.

Multiple recessed shelves keep everything that’s frequently used within easy reach, creating a relaxing place to unwind in the bath after a long and stressful day.

Pair a White Marble Shower With Solid Black Fixtures for a Stunning Effect

This white marble with gray veining and bold black hardware results in a remarkably subtle black-and-white bathroom design.

Custom tile work and spotlighting make this shower appear that much more modern. Overall, minimal updates such as this can change the appearance of an entire house without breaking the bank.

Flip Expectations With Dramatic Black Walls and a White Vanity

A bold and moody powder room can be created with a bit of black paint and a stark white floating sink. This black and white bathroom takes a minimalist approach to styling, with a modern faucet and a tall, narrow mirror.

Trimming the window in white paint makes it pop just a bit more while reflecting additional sunlight into the darker space.

Mix Marble With Black Veining and Ceramic Tiles With Black Grout for Visual Appeal

This elegant bathroom with a wall-mounted toilet hides the majority of its plumbing behind wall tiles. A white marble tile floor brings an air of luxury while maintaining a casual vibe. Black paint on the ceiling is an eye-catching choice that truly pays off. Simplicity is key here, and the minimal accessories reflect that well.

This black tile with white grout and Victorian-era floor tile pair beautifully to make a stunning black-and-white bathroom that’s sure to turn heads. There’s a faint art deco influence that can be seen here as well, something that has a distinct charm guests will love.

Create the Ultimate Moody Space With Deep Black Walls and a Floating White Vanity

For our final black and white bathroom photo, we’re taking a look at an ultra-modern bathroom with black paint that stops you in your tracks. White marble countertops and white cabinetry on the vanity are the epitome of contrast, drawing the eye into the room.

The slightly ridged texture on the walls makes for a pleasing viewing experience once noticed. Black hardware combined with the crystal clear glass walls makes for a discrete shower, though a tub wouldn’t be totally out of place here either.

12 Elegant Victorian Bathroom Tile Ideas for a Classy Look

post

Victorian-style bathroom ideas are a popular choice for homeowners looking to revitalize their historic home’s bathroom or totally transform the appearance of their modern space. One of the most common features individuals think of when it comes to a Victorian bathroom, however, is the iconic tile work.

Victorian-era tiles and accents can be the perfect finishing touches to any bathroom remodel, but finding inspiration can be a challenge. In the list below, you’ll find the most inspiring Victorian bathroom ideas to help you complete your next project.

Pair Victorian-Style Tile Patterns With Rich Colour and Art Deco Accents

White subway tiles, also called metro tiles, are one of the most popular choices when it comes to choosing tiles for a bathroom, and for good reason. These simple tiles pair beautifully with just about any design style, including Victorian-inspired designs as seen here.

Black and white tiles on the floor create a classic pattern common to Victorian style, and the rich umber paint on top of the half-wall tile paired with art deco accessories complete the look.

Use Victorian Floor Tiles and White Subway Tiles to Create a Bright and Inviting Bathroom

This bathroom is a similar style to the previous example but focuses more heavily on the stark contrast between black and white. Trimming the floor tiles with a line of black subway/metro tiles adds a layer of visual interest, while also serving as a bold separation between the two different materials.

The half wall is an efficient way to note the change from the vanity area into the shower, with added privacy. Subtle gold on the mirror and light fixture perfectly round out the space with a touch of charm.

Detailed Victorian-Style Flooring Paired With Simplistic Fixtures and Minimal Accents

This bathroom perfectly balances old and new ideals, featuring both solid white wall tile and patterned floor tiles. Additionally, the border of the floor tiles brings an extra “wow” factor to this bathroom design.

The black toilet seat helps to break up the solid white found everywhere else, serving as a great source of dimension in the room. A delicate mirror and a simple linen cloth are the perfect items to decorate this bathroom because they aren’t distracting from the focal point of the floor.

Pair Boldly Coloured Square Tiles With Contemporary Fixtures and Detailed Flooring

Though Victorian tiles tend to evoke images of strictly black-and-white color schemes, bold colors aren’t off-limits. A dramatic green, blue, or even pink theme can make your bathroom that much more custom in its appearance.

This bathroom uses a deep green tile on the walls, from floor to ceiling, while the floor itself features a scaled-down version of the classic tile patterns we’ve seen already. As a bonus, the more modern vanity unit allows for plenty of storage not found in Victorian-style sinks.

Create a Dramatic and Moody Bathroom by Blending Traditional Victorian Tiles and Modern Counterparts

In a similar vein as the last example, this bathroom is in a league of its own. Though the floor features Victorian tiles and some of the accessories and hardware have an antique appearance, these are the only things in this bathroom that aren’t modern.

The resulting blend of styles is a dramatic, yet elegant, bathroom that is sure to leave guests speechless. With a different layout, the shower area could be exchanged for a claw foot bathtub for added drama.

Combine Modern Industrial Aesthetics With Victorian Bathroom Design for a Unique and Fresh Space

This chic bathroom is inspired by both traditional and contemporary industrial-style design. A unique half wall divides the space, and there are plenty of options for hanging up both fresh and dirty towels.

By using square wall tiles instead of the more common subway tile, the squares of the floor tiles are echoed, creating a cohesive look that’s much more noticeable in this bathroom. Just as with the previous example, a bath instead of a shower is an option and may be a better choice for some homeowners.

An Airy, Contemporary Bathroom With Victorian Floor Tiles, a Glass Shower Area, and a Floating Vanity

This completely fresh take on Victorian bathroom design is an elegant alternative to totally antique bathroom ideas. Showcasing a breezy color scheme, this bathroom is the perfect place to relax and unwind at the end of a long day.

A Victorian-style floor and white tiles on the walls create a sense of cleanliness, as well as peacefulness, that is sure to stand the test of time.

Pair Thick Subway Tiles and Victorian Floor Tiles With Earth Tones for a Calming Bathroom Design

These beveled subway tiles create a slightly bubbled or thick appearance that’s much more uncommon than standard flat tiles. This can bring a level of dimension and originality to your bathroom, especially when paired with Victorian tiles in a less common configuration on the floor.

The ledge above the sink in this example also creates additional storage space for frequently used items such as toothbrush holders and other toiletries or small decor.

Classic Patterned Wallpaper and Subway Tile Wainscoting in a Victorian-Style Bathroom

Nothing says “Victorian bathroom” quite like an antique claw foot bathtub. This bathroom takes the style a step further, however, with the addition of bathroom wallpaper, tile wainscoting, and patterned floor tiles.

The same colors are found throughout the room, though the materials change, which creates an environment that’s the right combination of fun and peaceful. A touch of plant life also helps achieve this balance and is always a welcome addition to any bath.

Use Victorian Bathroom Tile Ideas to Spice Up a Combination Bathroom and Laundry Room

Small combination bathrooms that mimic the layout of hallways can pose several unique design challenges. However, some houses have no choice but to add a laundry area to the bathroom due to lack of space.

But this doesn’t mean that your dreams of a Victorian bathroom are impossible to achieve. Victorian tiles on the floor and a section of wall tile are all it takes to bring a bit of that same charm into an unconventional bath. Plus, a border of chair rail is the perfect finishing touch.

Victorian Bathroom Inspiration Paired With Unique Wall Tile for a Chic Powder Room

This example takes inspiration from Victorian bathroom ideas and then subverts expectations to make a style that’s completely unique. Thin pink-toned tiles are placed vertically on the wall as opposed to more common horizontal patterns, and a large floating vanity makes a bold impact.

The glass-walled shower helps the room feel more spacious than it is while helping to show off the stunning tile work.

Blend Victorian-Era Flooring and All-Over Marble for an Ultra-Modern Bathroom With Classic Touches

Finally, if a fully Victorian bathroom isn’t for you, but you still love some of the traditional elements we’ve looked at, this style may be the right choice for you. Discrete plumbing, sleek marble, and crisp edges make this bathroom a modern dream, while the inclusion of Victorian-style floor tiles provides an elegant, yet understated, touch.

This bathroom design also incorporates many of the features we’ve seen previously in a way that’s both visually appealing and functional.

11 Stunning Limestone Bathroom Ideas to Add a Natural and Luxurious Touch

post

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is formed when seashells, coral, and other marine debris accumulate over millions of years. This durable natural stone is a popular choice for tile and other interior finishes. However, it is a porous stone so it needs to be sealed for proper care and maintenance. If you’re thinking of changing the look of your bathroom, limestone can transform this space in a major way.

From chic limestone tiles on the bathroom floor to sleek stone shower walls, these limestone bathroom ideas will inspire you to add a natural, luxurious touch to any space. Check out these beautiful, creative concepts to help you get excited about your next bathroom renovation.

Large Limestone Wall Tiles Lend a Modern Vibe

In this bathroom, the designer chose to apply large limestone tiles to the wall. The oversized shape and sleek design give the space a decidedly modern, luxe style and a high-end aesthetic.

Note how the vanity top material is a bit different in terms of color and texture. This creates a visually stunning juxtaposition that breaks up the room so it’s elegant rather than monotone.

Make it Match with Similar Tile Throughout

For this design, the limestone tiles cover the walls and the floors, and they also surround the sink for a sleek, cohesive look. Installing the same tile throughout the bathroom gives this space a feeling of cohesion and warmth.

The use of matte black fixtures and a matte black mirror helps to make the tile pop and adds a nice visual contrast.

Incorporate Natural Materials

While limestone itself is a natural material, adding other natural materials gives a bathroom a welcoming, earthy feel. For this design, light brown wood was chosen for the vanity and to frame the large mirror.

The use of woven rattan baskets adds convenient storage, and they help to warm things up so the sleek, shiny surface of the limestone doesn’t feel too cold.

Go For the Gray

Limestone tile comes in a wide range of colors, and gray is a great choice for modern bathroom designs. The large tile in this space features unique shades of gray throughout that give it a sleek, contemporary look.

Adding the same tile to the shower ceiling not only protects it but also makes the shower look and feel much more luxurious. A “floating” toilet keeps it off the floor and allows the limestone to shine.

Use Limestone Tile as an Accent

While limestone is mostly found throughout this bathroom, a piece is used as a backsplash accent on one wall. A wide strip of limestone tile placed just underneath the mirror and behind the sink brings a touch of texture to the room.

When added against the stark white wall, this section of tile stands out and gives the bathroom a beautiful finishing touch. The designer could have chosen not to include it here, but adding it helps to tie the bathroom together quite nicely.

Update a Guest Bath with Limestone

Other stones like granite and travertine also look lovely in bathrooms, but limestone has a very distinct appeal. You can use it as flooring and wall tiles to finish a guest bathroom and give the space a nice, luxurious touch.

The skylight in this particular space adds a bath of natural light that shines directly onto the limestone below for a sleek, reflective finish that makes using limestone an excellent choice here.

Go Dark and Earthy

Darker-colored stone was used in this bathroom for a rustic, earthy environment. The dark gray color and large square limestone tile make this an interesting design choice. Large exposed wood beams add a ton of drama to this unique master bath.

A large, raw chunk of stone serves as a step into the soaker tub for a truly unique finishing touch. Fortunately, two large windows in this bathroom bring in natural light so it doesn’t feel too dark and brooding.

Create a Two-Toned Bathroom with Different Stone Colors

Lighter-colored limestone tile adorns the floors, shower, and walls in this sleek modern bathroom. Meanwhile, a much darker black and white stone tops the vanity and sink to complement the black cabinet.

While this bathroom has mostly ivory and white features, the addition of black here and there gives it a bold, two-toned look. Note how the black fixtures, faucets, and accents add to the dramatic visual contrast.

Use Limestone Tile as Shower Shelving

This sleek limestone shower has a modern, monochromatic look. Sections of the same tile were also added to one corner of the shower to serve as handy shelves.

Instead of using a cheap-looking, traditional shower caddy, the homeowner chose to install tile for shelving so that everything looks neater and more uniform. This is also a great option for those with small spaces who need extra storage.

Go Bold with Big Tiles

The oversized rectangle limestone tiles in this bathroom help to make a strong statement. A portion of the wall is recessed, and white tile was installed here for a storage shelf and a beautiful touch of contrasting color.

The vanity top is also a different color stone featured in black and white for a playful pop. Not how a small strip of that same black tile was also added to the bottom of the white stone shelf to give it a nice tie-in.

Have Fun With the Details

The tiles in this bathroom are beautiful, but it’s the many other details that make this space so special. Wood cabinets and a matching wood vanity warm things up and give the room a welcoming, calming, spa-like feel.

Integrated LED lighting around the large mirror isn’t just a convenient feature — it also gives the bathroom a warm glow and a modern touch. Double sinks feature the same limestone tile to match, which helps to make this bathroom a beautiful, well-designed space.

If you need some inspiration, these stunning herringbone tile bathroom ideas are suited to every design style. From the sleek and modern to the luxe and elegant, check out these amazing ideas for inspiration that’ll motivate you to update your bathroom.

Add Deep Brown Herringbone Tile in an Off-White Bathroom

The soft off-white walls are instantly contrasted by the dark brown herringbone tile in this space. Use darker-colored tiles if you want to make your bathroom pop. Choosing to go darker on the floors helps to “break up” this bathroom, and the herringbone pattern adds a sense of elegance.

Use a Herringbone Tile Pattern From the Floor to Along the Wall

Light green stone herringbone tiles cover the bathroom floor and walls to give this space a sleek, luxurious look. Notice how the gray herringbone pattern is cohesive in the bathroom, yet another herringbone pattern is featured in the adjacent room.

In the next room, the homeowner installed wood herringbone floors so that everything flowed together nicely while still showing the difference between the two spaces.

Herringbone Tiles as an Accent in an All-Marble Bathroom

Marble tile completely covers just about every inch of this space. However, most of the bathroom features gray and white subway tile, except for the shower floor. Adding the same marble tile but in a herringbone pattern adds a fun touch and gives the shower area a fun, funky touch.

Try Contrasting Tile Colors to Create a Unique Bathroom With Timeless Appeal

In this bathroom, black and pink come together to create a charming vibe. The herringbone tile floor features a sleek black hue, while the shower wall tile boasts the same pattern, but in a light pink. Creating a contrast with different tile colors makes the room look unique but also timeless.

Notice how the herringbone tiles are matte black or dark gray, while the slab is lighter and shiny to give it a sleek, shimmering look that’s perfectly suited for the shower area.

Use Elongated Ceramic Tiles in a Spacious, Elegant Bathroom

This exceptional bathroom boasts a white soaker tub and a dramatic contemporary glass light fixture that brings it an elegant touch. The large window pulls a lot of natural light into the room, but it’s the elongated herringbone tiles that really stand out.

Using larger tiles like these works well in spacious bathrooms since you have more room to work with. Note that the designer didn’t just use the tiles for the floor, they also installed it up to the ceiling on the walls, too.

Touches of navy blue paint add even more drama to this space, while the mirrored door helps it look and feel larger.

A Stunning Jade-Toned Herringbone Tile Showcases a Uniquely Shaped Space

A curved cove creates the shower in this bathroom and makes it a truly uniquely shaped space. The use of jade-toned herringbone tiles helps to highlight this area well and makes it stand out against the flat white walls and sloped bathroom ceiling.

Instead of choosing a standard white tile for the shower area, the luscious jade green color adds more depth and excitement to the room while also shining the spotlight on the unusual silhouette.

Add a Subtle, Mini Herringbone Pattern to a Chic White Marble Bathroom

However, the mini herringbone pattern on the shower walls brings this stylish bathroom a fun touch without going overboard. Finishes of brushed gold on the shower fixture, faucet, and hardware lend an air of elegance to this already beautiful space.

Bring Variation into the tile pattern for a unique look
