At Paulson’s Floor Coverings, we help homeowners across Beaverton and West Portland discover new ways to blend form and function with custom tile designs. If you’re planning a remodel or starting from scratch, here’s how to make your bathroom tile stand out.
The Power of Tile Patterns in Bathroom Design
Tile isn’t just a functional material—it’s a design tool. Choosing the right tile patterns can impact everything from how large a room feels to how light reflects across the surfaces.
Some of the most popular tile patterns for bathrooms include:
- Subway tile in stacked or offset layouts
- Herringbone or chevron for dramatic flair
- Basketweave or pinwheel for texture
- Hexagons or mosaics for a modern touch
Mixing and matching these patterns can result in a layered bathroom full of character without overwhelming the space.
Tips for Mixing Tile Patterns Effectively
1. Stick to a Color Palette: It’s best to keep your color palette limited to 2–3 complementary shades when working with multiple tile patterns. This keeps the overall look cohesive even if the patterns vary.
2. Vary the Scale: Combine larger tiles on the floor with smaller, more intricate patterns on the wall or shower niche. This contrast helps define spaces and create visual interest.
3. Use Texture to Your Advantage: Glossy wall tiles can make a small bathroom feel bigger, while matte or textured floor tiles add traction and depth. Combining these textures adds sophistication to your design.
4. Create Zones: Use a unique pattern or shape to highlight areas like the vanity wall, shower floor, or tub surround. These focal points draw the eye and make your bathroom feel curated.
