Consider material type
Once upon a time, choosing tile relied solely on practicality. Today, the sheer variety of tiling materials provides an unparalleled blend of style and functionality. After all, the goal is a rejuvenating space that feels nurtured and pampered.
Truth is, choosing the right material comes down to your individual needs. Some tiles need a little more care and some come with a hefty price tag. While others can offer a perfect combination: stylish, durable, affordable, and easy to clean.
Classic ceramic tile is a durable and hygienic pick that won’t hurt your pocket. It offers a realm of unique color choices to suit all sorts of tastes.
Porcelain tiles’ exceptional strength holds up to the rigor of everyday life with ease. Best of all, it can mimic timber, metal, and stone to perfection. You get the distinct beauty of the real thing with low upkeep and less expense.
The allure of glass tile truly shines on shower walls, alcoves, and backsplashes. Its reflective quality catches and bounces light—creating a captivating ambiance. Marble charms with its elegant veining and timeless beauty. But being more porous, it requires regular sealing to guard against moisture, stains, and scratches.

Decide on a design
Tile provides a high level of personalization. It can mold itself to satisfy all kinds of design styles. When choosing the perfect tile to complement your rooms’ overall design, don’t get caught up on trends. A timeless style that you’ll love for years to come would be ideal.
First, decide on the tone you wish to set. Do you want a bathroom that matches the rest of your home? Or a centerpiece that holds its own? What aesthetic do you gravitate towards? Sleek and modern or classic and luxe? Perhaps a chic, coastal vibe with soothing blues, wood tones, and seaside motifs?
Look around for inspiration and get creative with a visual mood board. Design insiders suggest keeping to no more than 3 tile designs to avoid a busy room. Once you know what tickles your fancy, you’ll feel more comfortable picking the perfect tiles.

Choose a color palette
Choosing color is a matter of preference. But a well-appointed space benefits from cohesion. Muted neutrals lend a soothing, airy, and spacious feel. Bold pops of color add an eye-catching punch. Dark hues set the stage for an intimate ambiance. And if you’d like to “live la vie en rose” on the daily, soft pastels lead with enchanting beauty.
So what’s your color preference? Do you prefer complementing hues or striking contrast? Are you rocking a neutral floor tile and accenting the walls with a bold splash? With the right color palette, your bathroom is sure to be dripping in style.

Think about grout color
Often an afterthought during the design process, grout is an essential part of tiling. Matching grout and tile create a seamless finish. A darker grout color can accentuate the tile’s shape. A bold color can be the pick-me-up accent muted tile crave.
