Floor-to-Ceiling Tiles
Though this look will cost a bit more, pulling your tile all the way to the ceiling is a great way to give your bathroom an elevated look and feel.

Add Wallpaper
We love these square subway tiles from homebypolly, and they play beautifully with the graphic yellow wallpaper throughout the rest of the wall. Tile is expensive, so if your budget doesn’t allow for floor-to-ceiling tiles, you can still get the same drama by adding wallpaper beyond your tilework.

Add Color
This moody aquamarine hexagon tiles from Jessica Nelson Interior Design are giving off major mermaid vibes in the best way.

Opt for Large Floor Tiles
Large tiles, like the ones seen in this bathroom from KG Designs, require fewer grout lines and therefore make a bathroom feel larger and more spacious.

Play With Penny Tile
On its own, penny tile adds a visual impact to your bathroom because of its small size and extra grout lines that really stand out. But this bathroom from modernly_you takes the penny tile look one step further and adds a fun pattern to the floor.

Small Wall Tiles
While we typically see small hexagon tiles like these from milesminnopH๏τography in flooring or showers, we love how beautiful they look as a backsplash against this elegant blue vanity. This look is better for a larger bathroom, as a smaller tile will leave you with a lot of grout lines that could look busy in a small bathroom.

Try a Wooden Tile Look
Wood flooring gives off the feeling of warmth and comfort, but it can lead to mold and bacteria in a bathroom.
