Modern Bathroom Tiles

When it comes to modern bathroom tiles, I think that simple and large is always your best bet if you are not sure what direction to take the space.  This is especially true of bathroom floor tile ideas, because the larger tiles take up much more space making them quicker and more expensive to install. My suggestion would be to use the same large neutral tiles on the shower walls as you do for the floor like we did here -- the combination creates a lovely monochromatic look that feels chic no matter what accent colors you choose.  Your bathroom designs can then flow from this subtle foundation and will remain looking current for years to come.

Believe it or not, modern bathroom tiles is actually one of those areas that you can experiment with darker color palettes and bolder designs than you can with just about any other style or product.  Most people would never think do a black and white tile bathroom because it is so deep and bold, but it actually looks so awesome especially if you have a larger space. As you can see from this photo, the designer threw all of the small bathroom rules out the window and installed a huge ebony tile shower that takes up a full corner of the room.  As I am sure you know, most experts say to keep bathroom wall tile ideas light and neutral to give the illusion of more space.

I am seeing more and more of these duel walk in shower and tub zones in contemporary bathrooms, accented by cool modern bathroom tiles that almost give the space an art gallery vibe.  If you are going to add a feature like this to your own home, I would definitely suggest going bolder with your shower tile ideas because this gives you an opportunity to add more vibrant colors and patterns than you normally would in a bathroom of this shape or size.  I will say that this particularly unique category of large walk in shower remodel is already pretty "in your face," so going the extra mile with some funky tile choices really isn't going to send your design over the top.

I love how this designer carried the wavy modern bathroom tiles to all four walls of the space.  Doing this was certainly more costly than simply covering the tub/shower surround but it plays so well in today's popular modern bathroom designs 2019, that I think it was well worth the expense.  With it being such a small bathroom, it was definitely very important to keep the design in here simple and cohesive.  By carrying both the floor and the wall tile throughout the entire space, the designer created a very monochromatic look both in color palette and pattern.  This is definitely one of those key small bathroom tile ideas that makes your space feel decorated yet subtle, and gives the illusion of a larger space than you actually have. 

Whenever I am adding some sort of bold modern bathroom tiles to a room, I like to keep the rest of the space quite simple to avoid an overwhelming design. Some interior decorators choose to go with plain and simple bathroom shower tile ideas, while others opt for a more vibrant design to act as a almost a piece of art for the room.  We decided to go for the latter when we designed this gray master bath because the owner wanted an overall minimalistic design with just a touch of pattern to make things more interesting.  By keeping all of the materials within a chic monochromatic color palette, the eye catching mosaic does not overwhelm the modern bathroom design, but rather acts as the perfect statement piece on the vanity. 

One of the reasons that I tend to gravitate towards modern bathroom tiles is the sheer size of most of the popular designs I have been seeing photos of.  Beyond the fact that they just look cool, using modern bathroom tile ideas that feature these extra large geometric shaped products can actually be very time efficient and cost effective because it it is much less expensive to have somebody install just a few pieces rather than a small intricate design.  Not only that, but the larger tiles give a distinctly contemporary look that perfectly accents just about any modern home.  Realistically, you can use this bathroom tiles design technique in just about any style decor to achieve the same goals, just be sure to pick a neutral material that will be easy to transition to a multitude of styles.
