Upgrade Your Shower With These Gorgeous Tile Design Ideas
When remodeling a bathroom, designing the shower is one of the biggest decisions—specifically the tile. Tile comes in an endless array of colors, materials, textures and patterns; so making the right choice can be overwhelming. To help you get inspired, here are top shower tile ideas below along with tips from two bathroom design experts. These tile showers will elevate your entire bathroom design—even on a budget!
Dark colors are dominating in the design world, and shower tile is no exception. The dark, emerald green tile in this shower from @theflairhunter makes a big statement, and is an easy way to bring drama to a small space. The green pairs well with the small-scale black and white floor tile, which adds just the right amount of contrast. “Tile drenching is gorgeous, but for aging eyes or users with limited visibility, high contrast between floor and walls is safer and more practical,” says bathroom expert Amy Wasserman.
Large-scale tile, like the one in this shower from @california_home_center, gives the illusion of one big marble slab, elevating the entire look of the bathroom for a fraction of the price. The gray veining adds subtle interest and elegance. “Large format tile can create a seamless, monolithic effect,” says Wasserman, “And fewer grout lines mean less visual interruption and easier maintenance.”
With all the available colors, textures and styles, tile is a great opportunity to take a risk, especially in a playful space like a kids’ bathroom. The geometric tile in this shower and bath combo from @livdendesigns is full of retro charm, and the gold fixtures are like jewels, providing the perfect finishing touch. This Terrazzo tile (called Petals Tile from Livden) is a great eco-friendly choice because it’s made from 65% recycled material!
This beautiful shower from @kimberlyparkerdesign features glossy blue tile in a vertical stack pattern. The high gloss finish bounces light around the room, while the vertical layout leads the eye up to make the space feel taller. “Don’t underestimate the impact of tile layout and lighting. A simple tile can become striking when used in an unexpected pattern like vertical stacking,” says Wasserman.
Take rectangular subway tiles to the next level by installing them in an unexpected pattern, like stripes! This green and white striped shower from @samanthajones_interiordesign would be simple to duplicate, and the color combination options are endless. Use frameless shower glass so the tile can take center stage. “Subway tiles also continue to be a favorite, particularly when done in a striking color or when installed in an interesting configuration,” says Bahbah.
