Transform Your Space with Bathroom Tile Ideas

With a plethora of bathroom tile ideas, the creative opportunities are endless. With so many bathroom tiles to choose from, it isn’t surprising that homeowners can become overwhelmed when attempting to renovate their spaces. 

To gain a clearer perspective, we spoke to several interior design experts about some tiles you can incorporate to refresh your space.

While neutral bathroom tile ideas can work wonders, being more adventurous with your colour palette can also produce extraordinary results.

For instance, our Zellige tiles feature unique shade, texture, and finish variations that embrace beauty and imperfection. Made from handmade clay, their individualistic finish can instantly personalise a space. 

However, we shouldn’t discount more subtle colours. For example, as Tina Nettlefold, creator and founder of T.House, elaborates, the unique quality of terrazzo tiles offers an opportunity to evoke colour in interesting ways: 

“[It’s] an incredibly versatile surface finish tile in terms of strength and durability as well as the unique characteristics that offer a distinct style in any bathroom,” she says. 

“With a variety of designs, colours, and styles from classic to contemporary, [terrazzo tiles] can be easily paired with a range of trending materials such as rustic timbers, earthy terracotta, and even industrial-themed concrete. It’s a truly stunning tile that beautifully complements cabinetry and decor.” 

“Terrazzo tiles were often used in mid-century designed spaces,” adds interior designer Joanne Newell. 

“However, people are loving the variety of colours and designs that terrazzo tiles are offering these days. [They] are no longer just applied to mid-century spaces but from contemporary to classic homes. It represents a durability and higher-end finish to a bathroom.”

It would be remiss of us to overlook the power of mosaics when exploring bathroom tile ideas. Modern bathrooms commonly use mosaics to personalise a particular feature of interest. Whether it’s a shower wall, the floor surrounding a freestanding bath, or the splashback of a bathroom vanity, mosaics can add a creative flair. 

“Any mundane bathroom splashback can be transformed into a stunning, eye-catching feature with the use of marble mosaics,” continues Tina Nettlefold.

“Assembling them in a pattern formation will draw your attention to this area, adding a bold, stylish aesthetic to your bathroom. Mosaic tiles can also create a brilliant splashback feature in the bathroom that will draw the eye to your choice of tapware.” 

ABI Interiors’ range of mosaic tiles includes natural stone, handmade, and artisanal-inspired designs available in various finishes and materials. We have handmade clay, ceramic, porcelain, and genuine natural stone tiles, such as travertine, and marble.  

Our mosaics are mounted on mesh sheets, simplifying the installation process. The mesh backing holds the individual mosaic pieces in place, making precise patterns and designs easier for your bathroom renovation. They can also conveniently wrap around rounded walls.

Bathroom floor tiles create beautiful texture and durability. They not only evoke an extra level of decorative beauty in your bathroom but are relatively easy to keep clean, particularly if they are large-format tiles, as they contain fewer of the usual nooks and crannies where grime can build up. 

“Using floor tiles has significant advantages; it resists dirt and stains and wears much more effectively than any other product. It’s perfect for high-traffic areas and all wet zones, they are also functional and so easy to clean,” confirms Tina.  

“The variety of design options available is endless when it comes to floor tiles — from size and shape to colour and finish, there is an incredibly broad spectrum. Another benefit to using floor tiles, especially ceramic, is that they are a cost-effective option that doesn’t compromise on style or practicality.”  

We sell a comprehensive range of highly durable and aesthetic small and large-format floor tiles for interior and exterior use. 

These tiles have a textural surface that reinforces their anti-slip properties and are available in various styles, shapes, and sizes to accommodate your space.
