Thinking of greeting the New Year with stylish bathroom decor? Knowing the right bathroom tile ideas for 2021 can easily help you organize bathroom elements, choose colors, and pick finishes that can lead to a stunning look. Think about how your bathroom can match your current living space — you’re arguably spending much of your time at home, so it’s best to go for clean looks and decluttered arrangements.

2021 interior design is all about reining in interior designs that can complement your lifestyle. Focus on straightforward, yet gorgeous looks that appear effortless. Functionality is also a number one priority — it might be time to get rid of outlandish decor that’s too in-your-face. Instead, try to focus on neutral shades. You’ll come up with a unique design that’s truly fit for the year.

The versatility of this white subway tile makes it a perfect contender for the ideal bathroom look. Although white is a basic shade, almost any kind of color that you choose can match it — whether it be blue, grey, brown, beige, or black.

You can go about styling with this tile however you prefer, but if you want to stick to the classics, a two-tone bathroom works best. Choose elegant fixtures, like a raised ceramic sink that stands out from the rest. Install it in a floating wooden countertop for added effect and to maximize your space. Spruce up the room by adding in some fresh indoor plants or hanging paintings that fit in well with the whole vibe.

There really isn’t a single look that defines an Asian-inspired bathroom, but this wood-look pattern tile can very well make the perfect element. Don’t be fooled by the tile design — it’s actually made of porcelain that emulates the natural appearance of wood. Having this as your wall tiles can start you off on the right foot for your dream bathroom redesign.

Asian-style interior design focuses on relaxing spaces that soothe the mind and body. From your bathroom sinks, vases, mirrors, decor, and even hanging racks, make this possible by choosing non-conventional additions.

For example, try adding a makeshift bamboo hanging rack that you can move around freely. Balance the dark wood colors nicely by pairing it with a one-piece pedestal white ceramic basin that gives off a contemporary, yet altogether vintage look.

 

Black Marble LF6833

If you’re planning to focus on your bathroom’s vanity area, then the perfect tile to do it is this beautiful black marble-style tile. It has all the aesthetic appeal of a marble finish, without the lavishness. Paired with the right fixtures, designing an exquisitely classic vanity can be made simple.

A good place to start is by choosing the right vanity mirror. A classic look wouldn’t be complete without the elegance of a framed oval mirror. As for the lighting, two curved sconces lamps can give off a vibrant illumination to the entire bathroom. Step inside this part of your home and you’ll definitely feel as if you’re in a whole other world.

Ever dreamed of designing a look that puts even the most lavish 5-star hotel bathrooms to shame? This uniquely 3D-patterned beige tile might just be the missing ingredient. Adorn your walls with this tile and you won’t even have to miss the feeling of luxury.

Similar to the first Asian-inspired bathroom on this list, this patterned tile fits in well with unconventional bathroom features. In the render, you can find a small pergola reflected in the wooden-framed mirror. The entire space also gives off a contiguous, uninterrupted feel that’s emphasized by the walk-in glass shower and the complementary tiled flooring.

 

Concrete-Finish Grey P141-4

A distinct feature of industrial interior design is the rugged, almost brutalist look brought on by the use of exposed structural elements, like bare concrete, beams, or even pendant lights. Achieving this style for any bathroom is as simple as having the right colors and experimenting with other accents.

Sporting natural streaks, layering your floors with this concrete-finish grey tile can help you complete this part of the bathroom. For your walls, if you’re not too thrilled about the idea of exposed masonry, the white subway tile on the top of this list can make the perfect pair. Keep in mind that it’s important to creatively apply it to your walls by going for an English brick bond or cross bond pattern that’s typical of most masonry surfaces.

Don’t be afraid to add whatever elements that you can think of. The industrial style works best with just about anything else, whether it be a nifty shower room corner shelf, niche, floating towel rack, or a stainless steel basin.

Tiling for Small Bathrooms

Tiling for Small Bathrooms

How do you tile small bathrooms?

  1. Measure Your Bathroom
  2. Determine the Tile Size
  3. Color Makes a Huge Difference
  4. Layout an Illusion
  5. Use High-Quality Fixtures

 

Almost every home has at least one small bathroom. This bathroom can be used for guests or the entire household. But at times, it can be a challenge to tile. You shouldn’t be intimidated by small bathrooms. These projects are significantly easier to complete with the correct planning. You can achieve different looks with the right tiles. You can use different tiles for small bathrooms to create different effects while still maintaining a certain budget. If you do it right, you can also make the bathroom feel larger with some optical illusions. Here’s how you can easily tile your small bathroom.

 

Measure Your Bathroom

The first thing you need to do is to properly measure your bathroom. Measure your walls and floor accurately and do it twice if you have to. This can help you determine how many tiles you need. You can even use tools online to help you determine how many you actually require. Visit Floor Center’s website to get a simple yet accurate tool to measure out how many tiles you need to use.

 

Determine the Tile Size

You can choose small tiles for your bathroom. It makes sense as the size would only require something below 60×60 cm. But there’s a disadvantage in using small tiles. The result is more grout lines. The more lines you see, the smaller it looks. It’s an optical illusion you can easily break by using medium or large-sized tiles. All you need to do is to properly cut and measure the tiles as you install them. During tiling, remember to choose the right grout color that’s a close match.

Why choose a medium-sized or large-sized tile? You can simplify and improve the flow of the room with these sizes. The scale of the room will remain the same but unlike using small tiles, you can create an illusion of much more open space. It’ll make you or your guests feel more comfortable instead of feeling cramped.

 

Color Makes a Huge Difference

It’s a fact that color can make a huge difference in design. Again, this ties in with the flow of the bathroom. Choosing a light, neutral color can reflect light much better. White, gray, or cream colors are clean and pleasing to the eye. Work with the light and apply these colors to your walls as well. Ceilings will instantly look higher using this technique.

If you desire to add a whisper of color, you may do so but keep it subtle. Powdery and creamy colors can be added in small doses to keep it modern. Too much can make it look outdated, no matter what color you choose. Remember to keep it minimalistic if you want to create an impactful yet open design.

 

Layout an Illusion

Since you’ve used colors and sizes to create an illusion, you can finalize the layout by creating a diagonal design. Laying the tiles flat and parallel can get boring and repetitive. It’ll make the small bathroom even smaller. But to simply trick the eye into seeing something that’s not there is easy. The eye will follow the diagonal lines you created.

To make your ceiling look higher, rectangular tiles can be installed vertically. This illusion makes the eye look towards the ceiling. When using rectangular tiles, don’t forget about using a light tile color to further solidify the open space look.

Use High-Quality Fixtures

You can go for the simple porcelain or ceramic fixture but if you want to create the look of a large bathroom, reflective surfaces such as polished stainless steel and metals are your choice. It’s reflective and it looks great with neutral colored tiles. However, it’s important to regularly clean them as it can look worn out over a period of time. Take your time and polish the fixtures as much as possible to maintain the reflective nature.
