Retiling your bathroom can be an inexpensive and fun DIY project to spruce up one of the most used spaces in your home. With no shortage of inspiration, we’ve compiled our best tips for a unique twist on bathroom tiling.
Seeing Stripes: A great way to add a creative design element to your bathroom without breaking the bank is by striping your tile. Stripes can be thick or thin, depending on what would look best in the space. We recommend thicker stripes for smaller bathrooms and thinner stripes for larger bathrooms. The contrast in dimensions makes for a beautiful outcome!
Floor Focus: For a truly dramatic effect, forget the walls and keep your eyes low to the ground. Particularly great for smaller bathroom spaces, creative floor tiling usually allows homeowners to take more risks since walls are recommended to remain relatively subdued. Nervous about the effect? Give it a try in a powder room first!
Shape Variety: You don’t need to play with designs and colors for a unique look in your bath. When maintaining a monochromatic look, play with different shapes to create differentiation. Pro tip: create a divide amongst the wet and dry areas of your bathroom with the different shaped tiles.
Trim Play: If subtlety is still your thing, opt for playing only with border designs. This allows you to maintain a sleek color theme while incorporating a safe yet fun design element. It’s up to you whether you want to trim your shower walls, floor, or vanity.
Accent Wall: You can almost never go wrong with an accent wall in any room. The freedom to play with all of the possibilities is sometimes too much to pass on, which is why many homeowners opt for an accent wall, especially in a powder room. Get creative with your tile…you can even choose to go with pebble or stone!
