<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Create the Illusion of Space With Large Format Tile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Large format tiles<\/a> require fewer grout lines, which will make your space feel more expansive. This shower designed by Nikki Chu uses the Savannah Antique 24″ x 48″ marble-look tile<\/a> to create the appearance of solid marble walls. The effect is an elegant and tranquil space–the epitome of quiet luxury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Create a Luxurious Spa Experience with Pebble Tile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A refreshing at-home spa experience is just the thing to elevate your morning routine. The Grey Pebble Small Mosaic tile<\/a> will make your shower feel luxurious even if you don’t have the luxury of space. The pebble shapes will give your feet a soothing massage and surround you with a calming atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n

3. Utilize Your Space With a Corner Shelf <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make the most of your small space by installing a corner shelf. Hanging racks can make your shower feel cluttered, but a built-in shelf provides a convenient and stylish place to hold your soap and shampoo. Shop corner shelves<\/a> in a variety of materials and styles to match your shower tile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Brighten Your Space with Brilliant Jewel Tones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our favorite bathroom tile ideas for small showers is dazzling jewel-toned tile. Brilliant blues and glimmering greens are a 2024 trend that we predict will be around for years to come. We love how Wade Home Remodeling<\/a> used the Look Blu tile<\/a> in this shower. The shine of the tiles reflects the light, making this small space feel fresh and light even though the tile is a darker color. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. White Tile Shower Ideas for Small Bathrooms <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Always on-trend white subway tile will give your shower walls a chic and sleek look. The traditional brick-bond look of this shower designed by Timber and Suede<\/a> is both modern and classic. If you want to punch up your white subway tile<\/a> design, try using dark-colored grout for contrast (it will also hide dirt, making your shower look cleaner even if you miss a week of scrubbing). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Create a Shower Niche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A great tile shower idea for small bathrooms is a decorative and practical shower niche. We love this niche designed using tile from the Alison Victoria collection<\/a>. The Elia Polished marble mosaic<\/a> and Precious Metals 24 Karat trim<\/a> create a chic, highly designed look. Because the shower niche is a relatively small space, you have a chance to really showcase your style with a patterned or mosaic tile that would be too busy for the entire shower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Create a Vertical Accent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An intricate mosaic or patterned tile can easily overwhelm a small shower, but if you’re in love with a design, you can still incorporate it into your space in small doses. A vertical accent of mosaic tile<\/a> will add character to your small space. The single vertical stripe of the Casablanca Mosaic tile<\/a> in this shower designed by Le Coeur Design<\/a> elevates this small shower by providing a stylish focal point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Add Height with a Vertical Stack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways to use subway tile<\/a> in your shower design. If you’re working with a short space, you can add height to your shower by installing a vertical stack subway tile like this shower designed by Coco & Jack<\/a>. The tiled ceiling helps create the illusion of height, making this shower feel as spacious as it is charming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Add Artisanal Charm with Handmade-Look Tile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A major trend we’re excited for this year is the authentically artisanal aesthetic of handmade<\/a> and handmade-look<\/a> tiles. The slight variations in surface texture, size and color make handmade-look tiles, like the Riad Grey tile shown here, a charming choice for a small shower. This bathroom designed by I SPY DIY<\/a> creates a wet room, extending the tile to encompass the entire space, but we think this handmade-look tile would look just as exquisite in a well-lit smaller space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Go All out with All-Over Marble<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just because you don’t have the luxury of space, doesn’t mean you can’t have a luxurious aesthetic. Since the smaller footprint means you can afford to do more, a small shower might be just the place to invest in real marble tile<\/a>. Many of our marble tile collections, like the Ashford Carrara<\/a> shown here, include several sizes, trim pieces and mosaics, so you can achieve a highly designed look like this bathroom designed by Nikki Chu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Add Movement with a Herringbone Pattern <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to add movement to your shower walls is with a herringbone pattern<\/a>. Elongated subway tiles like the Splendours White tile shown here will make your space feel wider. This pattern, created by Quinn Design<\/a>, adds interest to the small space without making it feel busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Personalize Your Space With Custom Mosaic Floors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget about your shower floors! Even with a small footprint, you can create something unique and interesting for the base of your shower. This custom hexagon<\/a> floral tile floor designed by The Gold Hive<\/a> is a perfect example of how to infuse your small shower with color and whimsy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
