Who cares about bathroom tile trends and ideas that never stay? Pink, blush, subway, blue, green! The truth is that none of us rebuilds a bathroom in a year or two, right? So, why am I even writing this post and wasting your time?
Here is why:
The Difference Between a Fad and a Trend
Apparently, every classic decorating style started with a humble trend. It’s like Chanel’s little black dress concept. Enough people picked it up and before you know it became an icon. The same with interior design. Practical, useful and beautiful trends are here to stay. Weird and crazy fads are like a one night stand. They never stay.
Because I watched the market and the trends for a while, I came up with lasting trends examples of bathroom tiles and design.
Here I share some bathroom tile ideas that will help you to save money for your next inspiring bathroom!
Herringbone Bathroom Tiles
Herringbone bathroom tiles, both on the walls and the floors are in. I like herringbone because it offers an unexpected and easy way to achieve an interesting look. You can play with different colors, textures- from ceramics to marble. Remember, pick grout color to help you define the pattern.
For instance, In the above bathroom, herringbone bathroom tiles have matching grout color for a softer look.
On the opposite, the contrast between the black grout and the white tile creates a dramatic graphic effect. If this is the look you want, consider adding black and white elements with fixtures and furniture.
Timeless Neutral Colors and Black and White Bathroom Tiles
Neutral colors bathroom tile, as well as a black and white combination, are always in style. Use textures, shapes, and patterns if you want a variety without adding strong colors.
Because neutral colors are so forgiving you can use a combination of similar geometrical patterns but on a different scale for the backsplash and the floor. As a result, the bathroom will look so fine that you might never want to leave it.
Less is more, sometimes. Instead of covering all walls, highlight one wall with waterjet mosaics. By the way, notice that this shower above is barrier-free with a linear drain installed in the back. The design is not only stunning but also highly functional for people that use a wheelchair.

Patterns-Field Bathroom Tiles
Patterned tile (called field tile) is here to stay for a long time thanks to the Boho style movement as well as the love for the mid-century design. Be careful not to overdo it. A pattern- on-pattern design is lovely if done right.
I love the bathroom above. The pattern is used in juxtaposition to solid color tile, and it lets your eye appreciate the pattern much more than if it was all over.
