1. Wet Room Ideas for Small Bathrooms

Perhaps counter-intuitively, both large and small tiles can be employed to make your room appear bigger. Large-format tiles require fewer grout lines, making the space feel more expansive and cohesive. On the other hand, the sense of continuity formed from the small pieces of a mosaic tile can create the illusion of a wider area. When paired together, as in this space designed by Construction 2 Style, they can make even a small wet room feel lavish.

2. Mix rustic & elegant elements

This contemporary rustic space, designed by Alison Victoria, showcases a chic mix of rough and refined details. The architectural stone statement wall is contrasted by the smooth, sophisticated Bianco Puro honed marble chevron mosaic wall and floor tile. A practical as well as stylish feature, the grout lines in the mosaic tile add traction to the floor. Though this space uses larger stone pieces, you can create a similar effect with architectural tile.

3. Maintain a Simple Color Palette

Though future trends are difficult to predict, a classic, neutral color scheme will ensure your space ages gracefully. This black-and-white wet room, designed by @blissfulinteriors_bybecky, features a simple (but so stylish!) white subway wall tile complemented by the Annie Selke Ikat Black patterned floor tile. The black grout contrasts with the Imperial Brite White tile and matches the black fixtures and bathroom wall, while the brown in the patterned floor tile and wood vanity add warmth to the design.

4. Wet Room Bathroom Tile Ideas

Mixing natural stone with stone-look tile is a great way to stretch your bathroom budget, especially if your wet room is as spacious as this West Bay Homes-designed oasis. The Atlanta White marble-look wall tile is paired with a floor tiled in Claros Silver travertine. The lush brown, beige and silver tones in the natural stone floor tile add depth to this space, while the grey-veined white marble-look tile brings glamour in the form of affordable and easy-to-maintain porcelain tile.

5. Create a Statement Wall

Even if your entire bathroom functions as a wet room, you can create distinction between your shower and vanity area with a statement wall. This space features a wall of the Invisible Grey marble-look tile juxtaposed with a wall of the Splendor Blanco subway tile. The expressive veining in the large-format tile creates an energizing shower space, while the subtle surface variation in the handmade-look tile adds interest to the other half of the room. Note the inclusion of a tiled shower seat–this is a practicle addition for people with mobility issues (and those who shave their legs).

6. Add Texture

Create a space that stimulates all your senses with a textured tile. This contemporary space features the Enredo Steel Dark Brown tile. With a mix of glossy and matte finishes and a raised pattern, this metallic-look tile is both invigorating and soothing. Shop our wide assortment of 3D tile for more stunning textured and sculptural designs.

7. Wet Room Shower Ideas

Texture is just as stimulating underfoot as it is on a wall. This spa-like space features the White Pebbles (Small) mosaic floor tile. The raised pebble pieces are a treat for your feet, providing a gentle massage as you shower. Pro Tip: Since a wet room doesn’t trap heat as well as a fully-enclosed shower, consider installing an in-floor heating system to help warm your space.

8. Fill Your Space with Quiet Luxury

Create a space you’ll want to linger in until your fingers prune with an opulent marble-look tile. Here, the dramatic gold, grey, brown and ochre veining in the Macchia Vecchia tile creates rich, expressive movement on the wet room walls. Though the veins are bold, the calming neutral tones give this space a relaxed elegance that perfectly embodies the popular quiet luxury design.

9. Create Artisinal Appeal

Ensure your wet room is truly one of a kind with authentic handmade Zellige tile. Available in a variety of colors, shapes and finishes, these tiles are crafted using traditional Moroccan techniques that create stunning variations in color, thickness and surface texture from piece to piece. Shop our wide assortment of Zellige tile to create a space that’s uniquely you.

1. Celebrate the Classics

Founded in 1861 by William Morris, Morris & Co. continues the renowned British designer’s mission of bringing beauty to everyday life. The Morris & Co. St. James Farringdon Grey tile, shown here, features warm grey coloring and an ornate pattern derived from the wallpaper commissioned in 1881 for the grand staircase of London’s St. James Palace. Though originally designed for the aristocracy, this lovely tile–also available in Pure Cloud (light blue) and Wandle River (bright blue)–embodies the casual elegance and vintage appeal of a well-appointed English cottage. If your sensibilities lean toward the sophisticated, explore all the historic patterns available in our exclusive Morris & Co. collection.

2. Add a Touch of Whimsy

From King Arthur to Mary Poppins and Harry Potter, the British have a long tradition of creating classic characters and fanciful worlds. A spoonful of decorative whimsy brings the cheer and charm of imagined places into your very real spaces. This endearing kitchen backsplash features the Laura Ashley Wexbord Midnight tile (also available in Fresh Green). The petite floral motif is based on a 1981 pattern from England’s iconic Laura Ashley brand. Full of delicate geometric botanicals, classic colors and unique shapes, the Tile Shop-exclusive Laura Ashley collection brings the best of British design to American homes.

3. Embrace Elements of Cottagecore

The on-trend cottagecore style is akin to English country cottage in many ways, but while English cottage embraces an abundance of patterns, cottagecore takes a more serene and rustic approach to the rural aesthetic. Combining traditional tile styles with playful patterns helps to tone down some of the busyness associated with the English style (though feel free to be busy if that’s your cup of tea!). This bathroom, designed by I SPY DIY, pairs the Splendor Blanco wall tile with the Laura Ashley Mr Jones Charcoal floor tile. The white, handmade-look subway tile, arranged in a classic brick-lay layout, is common in cottages and farmhouse design, while the patterned floor tile adds a distinctly English country touch.

4. Tile Your Floor in Natural Stone

Marble, slate and travertine offer natural beauty that elevates any design. Tumbled stone adds rustic appeal to your floors, while polished or honed stone creates a more sophisticated aesthetic. This pleasant bathroom, designed by @sposadesignllc, features the Hampton Delray marble mosaic tile. The basketweave pattern, reminiscent of traditional handicrafts, is complemented by a border of Hampton Carrara polished marble, making this floor feel both homey and high-end. The marble tile, paired with the blue-painted wood wainscotting and floral wallpaper, creates a space that exudes the cozy elegance of a posh cottage.

5. Add Traditional Molding Details

Common in English cottages, molding is a decorative detail often found where the wall meets the floor, ceiling or door and window frames. Available in a range of durable and stylish natural stone and man-made materials, skirting, cornice, capital and Barnes tiles allow you to incorporate these traditional trims, even if they aren’t original to your home. The wall in this bathroom is divided by Hampton Carrara Barnes and Legno Luce Somerset trim tiles, creating a classic chair rail feature. Though traditionally used to protect walls from dining room chairs, it is employed here as a transition between the Annie Selke Tulip mosaic tile and the Hampton Carrara subway tile wainscoting.

6. Create Cozy Spaces with Warm Neutrals

Bright colors have a place in an English country cottage home, but that doesn’t mean you need to surround yourself with rainbow hues. Warm neutrals, especially when used in patterns, evoke a sense of comfort associated with this style. This mudroom, designed by West Bay Homes, features the Laura Ashley Wicker Dove Grey floor tile. The tile’s soft greige background and white geometric floral pattern complement the burnt orange accent wall and white cabinetry, creating a calm, inviting atmosphere.

7. Favor Florals

No English cottage is complete without a well-tended garden. Bring the botanicals indoors, and fill your home with year-round cheer with a floral-patterned tile. This vibrant backsplash, designed by Colleen Primm Design, features the Genius tile. The continuous design creates the look of wallpaper while offering the superior durability and easy maintenance of porcelain. If you find a floral motif as enchanting as Mr. Darcy, shop our wide assortment of patterned tile.

8. Add Texture With Victorian-Inspired Tiles

Popular in Victorian homes, tin tiles featured ornate patterns punched into the metal to create a raised surface design. You can achieve this antique look in a more durable ceramic format with the Victoria tiles, available in Blanc (shown here) and Gris Fonce (oxidized copper). With their raised pattern and weathered appearance, these tiles add texture and vintage appeal to your space. We love how this chic kitchen pairs the tile backsplash with white and light green cabinets, but these tiles would also look stunning with cottage-style open shelving or rustic wood cabinets.

9. Use Wood-Look Tile for a Cottage Feel

A wood floor is a quintessential cottage element. Achieve this aesthetic in every area of your home (even mess- and water-prone areas) with durable, water-resistant and easy-to-clean porcelain or ceramic wood-look tile. This charming dining room, designed by At Home with Ashley, demonstrates the versatility of this tile. The blonde wood tones of the Baltimore Beige tile are in harmony with the botanical wallpaper and fireplace yet would complement a range of styles. Find more durable, affordable and easy-to-install wood alternatives in our wide assortment of wood-look luxury vinyl flooring. Or, for naturally beautiful floors in less moisture-prone areas, explore our newly expanded selection of engineered hardwood.

1. Change Your Tile’s Direction to Create Distinction

This space, designed by Principle Design & Remodeling, features the Bulevard Snow subway tile installed in a herringbone pattern behind the stove and a brick-lay pattern under the cabinets. Placing the herringbone design in the center creates a sense of movement, and helps provide visual separation between meal prep and cooking, making it feel like you have more room for both. Shop subway tile for a wealth of styles to achieve this design.

2. Infuse Your Space With Bright-Hued Blue

Make your small space stand out with a vibrant color, like the bold blue of the Zellige Azul gloss tile. The rich hue will complement a range of cabinet colors, from white to wood to a buttery yellow. If you love this stunning shade, explore our full collection of blue tile.

3. Design a Serene Nature-Inspired Space

Bring the expansive, mood-boosting feel of the outdoors to your space with nature-inspired colors, shapes and materials. We love how this bright and cheery kitchen pairs the Glass Tea Green tile with a blonde wood range hood for natural appeal. Learn how to create serene spaces in every room of your home with this guide to biophilic design.

4. Create a Marble Focal Point Above Your Stove

A small stove backsplash is the perfect place to invest in a beautiful marble mosaic. This backsplash, designed by C2 Interiors, features the Victoria Grey Lattice tile. The diagonal lines and pointed shapes of the mosaic add a lovely sense of movement, making it pleasing to look at as you tend to your burners.

5. Show Off Your Artistic Side With a Tiled Picture Frame

A tiled picture frame is created by “framing” a patterned or mosaic tile with trim. This technique can be elaborate, with multiple layered trim profiles, or feature a simple single pencil or Somerset trim. Here, the stove backsplash features the floral-patterned Genius tile framed by the Black High Pencil Liner. A single layer of black trim makes this picturesque patterned tile the focal point.

6. Add Texture With 3D Tile

A textured or 3D tile adds a tactile element to walls, giving your small space more dimension. This style is perfect for a sink or stove backsplash, where the exposed space allows light to cast shifting shadows on the raised pattern, creating a dynamic appeal.

7. Dazzle with Jewel Tones

Give your small backsplash the star treatment with a dazzling jeweled tone, like splendid sapphire or rich ruby. This lustrous kitchen features the Costa Emerald Mix mosaic tile. We love how its brilliant green tones pop against the sky-blue cabinets. If you’re envious of this vivid hue, shop our wide assortment of green tile.

8. Keep it Simple–And Chic!–With White Subway Tile

White subway tile is a design staple with a long tradition in kitchens, where it was first adopted by the Victorians as a symbol of cleanliness. Over a century later, this style still feels contemporary thanks to its versatile design. This sleek space, designed by Restor Homes and featuring the Bianco Puro tile in an offset vertical layout, offers a modern take on a classic look. Discover more design possibilities in this guide to subway tile layouts.

9. Achieve a Stylish Slab Look

Love the look of a marble slab backsplash? Achieve a similarly elegant effect with affordable, easy-to-maintain marble-look porcelain or ceramic tile. Available in a range of on-trend styles, the large-format version of these tiles (categorized as any tile with a side longer than 15″ and available in sizes up to 48″ x 48″) requires fewer grout lines, making small spaces feel more expansive and cohesive.

10. Add Charm With English Cottage Patterns

Backsplash designs for small kitchens don’t have to be unassuming. The Laura Ashley Wexbord Fresh Green tile brings the quaint, romantic sensibility of English cottage style to this cozy backsplash. If this whimsical design style is your cup of tea, shop our exclusive Laura Ashley collection.

11. Outline Your Design With Trim

This charming kitchen is proof that tile doesn’t need to extend far to make an impact. By cutting the Annie Selke Artisanal White Lace tile off before it reaches the shelves, Maya Drozdz makes this small space feel less crowded. The design is accentuated with the Black High Pencil Liner, which creates a neat border around the tiled backsplash.

12. Stretch Your Budget: Tile Your Backsplash For Under $200

Even if your budget is as small as your space, you can afford a stylish refresh with our expansive selection of tiles under $7. This backsplash, designed by Timber Trails, features Regent Bianco ceramic subway tile. At just $5.39/sq. ft., you can tile a 20- to 30-sq.-ft. backsplash for under $200.

13. Create a Modern Farmhouse Moment

Modern farmhouse design favors open shelving, which can make your kitchen feel more spacious. This backsplash, designed by I SPY DIY, features the Riad White tile beneath an open wooden shelf. The purposeful variations in color and surface texture in this handmade-look tile add an artisanal touch, complementing the refined rustic decor.

14. Embrace Simplicity with Japandi Style

The exquisite minimalism of Japandi design creates a feeling of intentionality in a small space. In this backsplash, designed by Yellow Brick Home, the long, skinny tiles comprising the Home Kit-Kat Milk mosaic provide a sense of harmonious symmetry. Learn more about this organic and calming design style in our Japandi tile guide.

15. Mix Materials for a Sophisticated Design

Incorporating a variety of materials is a simple yet sophisticated way to add interest to your backsplash, as seen in this contemporary kitchen featuring the Palermo Noir Stone Hex tile. The combination of slate and brass in the hexagon-shaped tile gives the space a dynamic sense of movement and rich visual texture.

16. Make Your Backsplash Feel Boutique With Zellige Tile

The authentic, craftsman appeal of handmade Zellige tile makes any space unique. Available in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors, every piece of this traditional Moroccan tile is crafted using ancient techniques that create natural variations from piece to piece.

17. Evoke a Historical Sensibility with Victorian-inspired Tile

Even if your kitchen doesn’t hail from the last century, you can still embrace your love for antiques with historic-inspired tiles. These ceramic Victoria tiles–available in Blanc (shown) and Gris Fonce, a dark oxide copper shade–feature raised patterns reminiscent of 19th-century-era tin tiles, while the weathered appearance mimics the look of worn paint.

18. Create a Unique Layout

Make your small space a standout with a custom layout. This boho chic kitchen, designed by I SPY DIY, features the Aurea Bronze tile in alternating horizontal and vertical stacks. Though simple, this backsplash commands attention, in part due to the contrasting grout color, which helps highlight the distinct design. Discover more worldly and eclectic tile ideas in our guide to boho chic style.

19. Marvel with a Versatile Basketweave Mosaic

The Sampson Mosaic tile features an elegant, intricate basketweave pattern that suits a variety of styles, from transitional to mid-century modern to modern farmhouse. This marble tile is stunning paired with white cabinets and gold fixtures, but it would look just as intriguing beneath wood cabinetry.

20. Add Beauty With an Ornate Pattern

An ornate patterned tile brings a lot of charm to a small space. This kitchen, designed by Simony Silva, features the elegant Cheverny Blanc tile. We love how the taupe and blue design complements the warm, neutral cabinetry.

21. Make Waves

Because it’s a small space, the backsplash is the perfect place to accentuate your decor with an unexpected design element, like a uniquely shaped tile. In this kitchen, the Wave Blue Reef tile introduces soft, pillowy lines for wave-like movement.

22. Add Drama With a Contrasting Grout

When you don’t have a lot of space to work with, every element becomes especially significant. A dark tile with light grout (or vice versa) highlights the layout and shape of your design. White grout paired with the Noir Honed Amalfi tiles creates a sense of drama in this Timber Trails-designed kitchen.

23. Create a Contemporary Look With Classic Herringbone Tile

A herringbone layout is a classic design that looks at home in contemporary spaces. In this chic kitchen, the Herringbone Gloss White tile complements the geometric patterns on the window covering while maintaining an elegant simplicity. If you love this dynamic design, shop our wide assortment of herringbone tile.

24. Make a Point With Picket Tile

Reminiscent of a classic picket fence, this elongated hexagon-shaped tile is on point! With its mix of straight and diagonal lines, picket tile creates a sense of movement and natural flow in your space. Here, Picket Florencia Super Bianco is installed using white grout for a subtle design, but you could enhance the shapes’ appearance by using contrasting grout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size backsplash tile is best for a small kitchen?

Virtually any size tile will work well for a small kitchen backsplash. If you want a cohesive look that makes your space appear more expansive, use a large-format tile, while a small mosaic tile adds movement and interest.

What is the best color backsplash for a timeless kitchen?

A crisp white backsplash will adapt as your style evolves. White subway tile is a classic look that can be easily updated with colored accents or by painting your cabinets and shelves.

Should the backsplash be lighter or darker than the countertop?

Your backsplash color depends on your personal style. If you tend toward the bold, contrasting your tile and cabinet colors adds a sense of drama. A backsplash that picks up some of the tones of your cabinets–-like a gold-flecked backsplash with gold fixtures on your cabinets -–will look cohesive while adding interest. Contrasting trim or grout will add definition to matching backsplash, countertops and cabinets.

1. Create Serenity With Mixed Finishes

Mixing glossy and matte finishes is a subtle way to create visual texture in your space, creating a feeling of tranquility. The glossy finish reflects light, brightening the room, while the matte finish offers a soothing respite. This luxurious bathroom, designed by Timber Trails, combines Queen Beige polished marble with San Dona honed marble tile, creating a subtly sophisticated space.

2. Spa Bathroom Ideas

Beige, brown and ochre are calming bathroom colors that evoke a feeling of warmth. This spa-like bathroom, designed by Nikki Chu, showcases the Macchia Vecchia marble-look tile. While the color palette remains soft, the tiles’ dramatic veining adds an invigorating sense of movement, making this space at once restive and rejuvenating.

3. Sensory Bathroom Ideas

The Enredo Steel Dark Brown wall tile adds visual and tactile texture to this space. The raised surface provides an energizing component by stimulating the sense of touch, while the dark neutral color produces a calming effect, making this the perfect place to start or end your day.

4. Relaxing Bathroom Ideas

A corner seat provides a place to rest and relax in your shower. A seat may also be a necessity for people with mobility issues, and it is a great addition if you’re looking to make your home more adaptable for aging in place. As this gorgeous shower demonstrates, it can also be quite stylish.

5. Increase Your Connectivity to Nature

Colors and textures inspired by the outdoors help boost serotonin and ground you in the natural world. Blues, greens, earth tones and wood looks all relax and rejuvenate the senses. While natural wood might not be ideally suited to the dampness of a bathroom, a wood-look tile, like the Violin Decor tile shown here, will still contribute to a soothing space. For more ideas on bringing nature’s benefits into your home, check out our guide to biophilic design.

6. Declutter With a Shower Niche

Ditch the shower caddy and store your shampoo in style with an integrated shower niche. Showcasing a favorite patterned or mosaic tile in your niche will elevate your overall bathroom design. These niches are also adaptable to your space; you can install multiple niches to meet your needs or create one long shelf.

7. Surround Yourself With Soothing Natural Stone

Nothing says luxury like natural stone. The unique tones and veining found in marble, slate and travertine will make your space truly one of a kind. This shower features Legno limestone tile throughout; the natural veining adds movement, while the warm shades of beige infuse the space with serene tranquility.

8. Create an Invigorating Pattern

When designing your self-care haven, the most important consideration is finding what appeals most to you. Incorporating a bold pattern to showcase your personality may be more appealing than natural stone. The Big Sur by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Off the Hook tile, shown here, features an artistic pattern with six distinct tile faces, offering a wealth of creative possibilities. Shop our full selection of patterned tiles to find a design that reflects your style.

9. Add an Interesting Focal Point

A tile focal point–whether it’s a stylish picture frame accent or a floor-to-ceiling stripe–adds interest to your space. Mosaics and patterned tiles, like the Toris Bandes tile shown here, add shape, movement and design. Play with contrasting and complementary patterns, textures and shapes to find a look that embodies your zen bathroom design.

Creating your self-care sanctuary is easier than you think! Shop our wide selection of bathroom tile to find the style that brings you serenity. Need more assistance? Schedule a free design consultation and let us help you bring your dream space to life.

The result is a stunning yet understated mix of neutrals, creating a relaxing and rejuvenating space.

1. Elevate Your Design With a Glass-Marble Mix

Tile that combines two or more materials will bring complexity and visual texture to your space. Here, the Divisa Storm tile elegantly blends marble and glass for a striking design. The marble veining, along with the chevron pattern, infuse the space with a sense of movement that complements the woodgrain detail of the shelf.  

2. Cast a Romantic Glow

The Patina Gilded Mirror tile casts a golden hue in this luxurious kitchen, designed by Kelli Fontana Vogelgesang. The gold mirrored tile features a beautiful coloration, creating a soft, romantic effect. If you love this chic, whimsical style, explore our exclusive Kelli Fontana designer collection.  

3. Infuse Your Space With Beachy Blue

The charming pastel evokes the tranquility of a bright day at the beach, perfect for creating a cheerful design. For more ideas on how to bring seaside serenity into your space, check out this helpful guide to “coastal chic.”  

4. Incorporate a Stunning Picture Frame

A tile “picture frame” is created by framing a decorative tile with trim pieces, such as Hixtons and Somersets. This makes a perfect centerpiece for your glass tile backsplash. Here, the expressive blues and greys in the Blue Twilight Brick tile enhance the elegant grey veining in the Hampton Carrara Chevron tile, resulting in a highly designed, cohesive space. Achieve this effect by layering trim pieces to highlight your favorite mosaic or patterned tile.

5. Create Movement With a Chevron Pattern

A dynamic shape, combined with striking color variation, infuses this space—designed by A. Dorazio—with a lively sense of movement. We love how the grey, beige, and white tones in the Alato Beachwalk Chevron tile coordinate with the white cabinets and grey-veined white marble countertop.  

6. Add Serene Neutrals

The Santos Beach tile‘s blue, grey and beige tones convey a calm coastal landscape. The combination of warm and cool neutrals adds a tranquil, yet visually complex, backdrop to this contemporary kitchen.

7. Choose a Mirrored Tile to Reflect Your Personality

Brighten your cooking space with mirrored glass tile. The Antique Mirror Bevel tile shown here reflects light, adding extra illumination to this stove backsplash. Designed by Timber Trails, the kitchen features this standout tile only on the top half of the backsplash to avoid overwhelming the space—we think they struck the perfect balance.

8. Add Hex-cellent Dimension

The hexagon is a classic shape that’s experiencing a resurgence in the interior design world. Here, the Posh Brushed Silver mosaic tile creates a lustrous backsplash. If you love this timeless shape, shop our wide assortment of hexagon tile.

2. Embrace Perfectly Imperfect Zellige Tile

Every tile in our Zellige collection is crafted, painted, and glazed by hand, ensuring one-of-a-kind character. This process results in subtle differences in tone, as evident in this gorgeous bathroom featuring the Zellige Alabaster Gloss tile. These tiles range in color from white to pink to beige, creating a unique space full of soft movement.

The Legno limestone tile used in this gorgeous bathroom features light, creamy tones with lots of soft veining for movement. This room maintains a simple color palette of beige, pink and white, creating a lush and serene space.

4. Use “Griege” For a Mix of Warm & Cool Tones

Grey-toned beige, or greige, combines both warm and cool neutrals for a space that is at once energizing and relaxing. Here the warm and cool tones are dramatically expressed in the Invisible Grey marble-look tile shower wall, but the griege Nord Ris Hex floor tile grounds this space in a solid neutral.

5. Layer Marble for a Rich, Luxurious Look

Elevate your tile design by layering stone shapes and trim. This luxurious shower features several tiles form our Queen Beige marble collection. The layering of the Barnes tile with the Dark Steel Somerset provides a stylish frame to the band of the Arabesque tile. The natural variation in color, in combination with the multiple shapes and sizes used throughout this design, create a rich and expressive space.

6. Modern Beige Bathroom Ideas

The bold, globally inspired pattern of the Nikki Chu Zulu Pumice tile brings a funky modern flair to this lovely beige space. This tile can be installed in a variety of ways for a truly unique design. We love how the lines of the arches are complemented by the strands of the rope chandelier.

7. Add an Air of Refined “Quiet Luxury”

This exquisite bathroom by Nikki Chu demonstrates how to achieve one of the most popular new design styles–quiet luxury. The light beige and brown veining in the marble-look backsplash and floor tile create a softness to this space, which is continued in the subtle texture of the handmade-look white subway tile.

The Savannah Antique marble-look tile, used in this shower designed by Russo Residential, features bold grey and taupe veining on a crisp white background. The splendid color, slightly darker than traditional beige, creates a space that awakens the senses while still maintaining harmony.

9. Create Visual Texture with Handmade-Look Tiles

The purposeful small variations in color, tone and shape of handmade-look tile will add interest to your space. Take this bathroom with the beautiful Coco Canvas Glossy tile accent wall. The color shifts from tile to tile (and even within the tiles themselves) providing rich visual texture, while the soft beige tones maintain a tranquil space.

10. Show Your Stripes

Stripes of beige travertine and white marble gives this chic shower, designed by Timber Trails, a vibrant, yet calming feel. The soft veining in the Legno travertine tile cuts through the tile horizontally, adding a pleasant sense of movement. The sand-colored stripes are unique take on the “coastal chic” style, which you can read more about here.

11. Incorporate a Whimsical Pattern

The whimsical pattern, paired with the blend of contemporary and traditional styles sink vanity and accessories, achieves a pleasing “transitional style” bathroom.

1. Showcase Simply Chic Black-and-White Floor Patterns

Color should be used sparingly in a modern farmhouse space, but that doesn’t mean you can’t showcase your personality. A simple black-and-white pattern is the perfect base for an elevated but minimalistic design. This chic bathroom features the Laura Ashley Wicker Charcoal tile. The white blossoms on a black background adds interest to the basic color scheme, while the wooden sink vanity and exposed beam complement the black-and-white tile. The effect is an inviting space–equal parts organic and industrial.

2. Create a Rustic Look with Tumbled Stone

Texture is an important element to any design style, and in modern farmhouse spaces, texture is often used to add depth. This powder room designed by Coco & Jack leans into the rustic aesthetic with the Claros Silver travertine subway floor tile. The tumbled finish creates a worn look, but the tile remains smooth, so it will be comfortable under foot. We love how the gold wall sconce provides its own textural contrast to the rough flooring, elevating the room’s design even more.

3. Farmhouse Bathroom Floor Tile Ideas

Nothing epitomizes modern farmhouse style like hardwood, but if you’re concerned about bacteria or water damage in wet spaces, wood-look porcelain tile is bathroom-friendly alternative that’s easy to clean and maintain. With authentic coloring and wood-grain details, waterproof, stain- and scratch-resistant porcelain tile will give your space the rustic look you love. The Truewood Beige Wood Look tile used in this elegant bathroom, designed by Haneen’s Haven, perfectly matches the tone of the exposed wood ceiling beams, creating a chic, cohesive design. (Planning to DIY? Equally durable wood-look luxury vinyl tile provides a similar look.)

4. Farmhouse Bathroom Tile Ideas

White subway tile is a staple of modern farmhouse style. This chic bathroom designed by I SPY DIY uses the Imperial Bianco Gloss tile in a traditional brick-lay pattern, but adds in barn doors, metal fixtures and a floral wallpaper for an elevated design. (The beauty of white subway is that it adapts to so many style trends–priming your bathroom for future updates!)

5. Create a Distressed Look with Wood-Look Shower Tile

Wood in a shower will invite a host of maintenance problems, but you can get a rustic barn-wall look with the waterproof Bora Black Straight porcelain tile. This dark wood-look tile comes in long tile planks. Clean white bathroom walls and black or copper fixtures will nicely balance this dark shower. Shop our entire selection of wood-look tile to find a rustic aesthetic to fit your space.

6. Adorn Your Space with Americana Patterns

Folk art and modern farmhouse go hand-in-hand. Embrace Americana designs with the charming Star patterned tile. With authentic handmade-look details, this tile (also available in Blue and Oxide), is perfectly homey. We love how it’s paired with marble-look tile in this chic shower for an elevated, yet down-to-earth aesthetic.

7. Incorporate Country Cottage Patterns

A close cousin to modern farmhouse, “cottage style” embraces whimsical patterns that evoke the idyllic English countryside. This pretty, yet moody bathroom, designed by I SPY DIY. features the Laura Ashley Mr Jones Charcoal tile, one of the patterns based off the iconic British brand’s historic prints. We love how the grey and charcoal tile is paired with deep plum-colored walls for a decidedly modern feel.

8. Use Marble for a Luxurious Look

While rustic materials like wood and metal are hallmarks of modern farmhouse design, you can use white marble to elevate this style. This bathroom designed Renovation Husbands features Firenze Carrara tile throughout the shower. The rich grey veining in the white marble creates wonderful movement and great visual texture. A wooden sink vanity, with black and gold metal hardware, and a simple brass-rimmed mirror keep this luxurious bathroom firmly in modern farmhouse territory.

9. Embrace Architectural Details

If you’re lucky enough to have architectural details in your bathroom, embrace them for a romantic and rustic approach to modern farmhouse style. This chic and unique space from The Grit and Polish is a master class in how to style around your home’s rustic features. Pairing the marble floor tile with dark wood and sleek gold hardware keeps the exposed brick chimney wall as the focal point of this elegantly simple bathroom.

10. Add Texture with Pattern

Soft and hard materials are combined in this chic modern farmhouse bathroom designed by Refine Studios. The woven fabric appearance of the Annie Selke Crosshatch Soft Pink tile adds a textile texture that is contrasted with the hard black metal mirror frames and candleholder sconces. The organic textures in the wooden sink vanity and marble-look tile floor complete this visually rich space.

11. Place a “Hex” on your Space

We’ve seen several bathrooms that feature hexagon tile floors, so let’s take a moment to address this classy (and classic) tile shape. The hexagon lends itself to many eras and aesthetics, perfect for the modern-take-on-vintage focus of modern farmhouse design. In this feminine bathroom designed by The Victorian Farmhouse, the Hampton Carrara Hex tile gives the floor an added visual texture and honors the vintage look of the antique mirror and clawfoot tub.
