Tile shown: Adriatic Sea 3圆, White Wash + Navy Blue 2" Hexagons // Design + Photos: Bright Bazaar We suggest painting your walls a crisp white or other neutral hue to complement the tile. This allows you to show off more tile, without overwhelming the space.

Why not try a full wall and a wall with wainscotting? This look works best when your shower walls are completely covered floor to ceiling in tile, and the tile is extended to the remaining walls but only as wainscotting. Leave the border with a square, glazed edge for a clean and modern design detail. Tile shown: Sea Foam 2圆, Daisy Star and Crossįor a more contemporary take on the traditional wainscotting style, try using a traditional material, such as our glazed thin Brick or ceramic bathroom wall tiles. Tile shown: White Wash 3圆 and Turquoise Star and Cross // Photo: Malcolm Fearon Photography For a truly classic look, finish the top with a decorative trim or a bullnosed edge. A classic offset or straight set pattern in a standard field size tile works best for this wall height. The classic design feature is usually between 34 and 54" high, with 36" being the average height. Wainscotting is a classic choice for bathrooms that border on the traditional side.

The design feels clean and contemporary, and the floor to ceiling installation, with its saturated blue hue, becomes the focal point of the space. We love the clean look of the straight set tile in the bathrooms below. The look is fresh and modern, and can be done in every shape, size and color there is. Tile shown: Kasbah Trellis in Neutral Motif // Design + Photo: Erin Williamson Design Floor to Ceilingįor you tile lovers, fully tiled bathroom walls are the way to go. Everything feels cohesive without being too matchy-matchy: We love this bath's crisp white walls, contrasting black ceiling, and handpainted floors. Tile shown: Loch Ness 3x9 // Design: West End Interiors// Photos: Sarah Wintle Accentuate rooms with high ceilings by using tall, sleek shapes, like 3x12s or 3x9s stacked vertically: We think this look works best in contemporary and modern bathrooms, where tile height is part of the design. The bathroom below showcases one of our favorite unconventional tile heights with the tile covering 3/4 of the wall.
