9 Bathroom Wall Tile Ideas that Work

#1 - Use contrasting tile colours to make your bathroom walls stand out

Consider using a contrasting tile colours on different walls to make them stand out. Contrasting colours should go well together and never clash, but the contract allows the walls to pop with that wow factor.

#2 - Choose bathroom wall tiles that reflect your style

If you love a bathroom tile and it really speaks to your sense of style and contributes to the overall theme and style you’re trying to create in the space, don’t let anyone talk you out of it.

 #3 - Go for a twist on traditional bathroom wall tile designs

Traditional wall tiles definitely have their place – especially in office bathrooms or in houses that you are trying to sell and therefore appeal to a variety of buyers – however, if you’re designing a bathroom for yourself to enjoy don’t be afraid to put a twist on traditional and go for the unconventional sometimes too.

#4 Create a feature wall with a décor tile

While wall papers are a bit outdated these days, CTM has some stunning wall tiles that mimic the took (but are more hygienic and wont fade and peal!) 

#5 - Match bathroom wall tiles to bold paint colours

Equally so, tiles pair perfectly with paint too. While it is very modern to tile wall to floor these days, matching a wall tile with a section of a boldly painted wall can create a nice textured and fun space. 

#6 - Juxtapose different matte and glossy bathroom tiles

You don’t have to use one type of tile across an entire bathroom. You can choose a matt tile for the floor and a glossy tile for the walls or shower area, or have one wall with a matt and another polished, whatever suits your fancy and your style. Don’t be afraid to mix and match.

#7 - Experiment with different bathroom tile textures

Texture is big at the moment when it comes to bathroom trends. Textured tiles that look hand-made and uneven are all the rage. Consider creating a feature wall or back drop with a textured tile and pair it with a smoother, simpler tile in other areas.

#8 - Try matching plain bathroom tiles with exotic tile patterns

You can’t go wrong with a splash of exotic colour or décor in any bathroom space. Whether you choose to simply to a line or an entire wall, exotic or decorative tiles combine beautifully with plain tiles in almost any bathroom space.

#9 - Bring home several full-size bathroom wall tile samples to mix and match

When shopping, don’t be afraid to ask your tile retailer if you can take some tiles home to sample. This will help you to lay the tiles in the space and stand back, looking at how the light hits the tiles and what combination will look best.
