Favourite Tiles for Modern Bathrooms
The ceramic styles favoured in modern bathroom décor have calm textures and colours that are easy on the eye.
If you want a modern bathroom but find it difficult to choose from thousands of options, we recommend taking it step by step. Start by selecting your bathroom cabinets and sanitaryware to establish your preferred style. Choosing your tiles around these elements will help you reach your goal more quickly.
What should you consider when choosing tiles?
Which colours?
Above all, the bathroom tiles you choose according to these criteria should reflect your own style. Modern interiors particularly favour tiles in the spectrum between white, beige and mink. That does not mean a bathroom wall clad in dark tiles cannot suit a modern style. When choosing colours, follow your own tastes and preferences within a relatively calm, uncomplicated palette.
Which patterns?
Modern geometric motifs are particularly well suited to this style. Raised flowers and multicoloured patterns are not among the style codes of a modern bathroom. The most popular pattern is, in fact, no pattern at all. Plain tiles with natural textures represent one of this style’s most admired approaches. Subtle stone, sand and desert textures will look more appealing than an entirely flat colour. The marble and timber patterns of marble-effect or wood-effect tiles can also help you create a modern look.
Which shapes?
Broadly speaking, square and rectangular forms are the safest choices for modern bathroom tiles and suit the style well. If you want to take a bolder step and explore less conventional shapes, consider hexagonal, triangular or other geometric tiles. Remember that laying a familiar tile shape in a different arrangement can also add a creative touch.
