One of our 2025 trend predictions is an increased interest in wellness-focused spaces. Self-care is more than just a trend; it’s a mindset that enables you to show up at your best–for yourself, your family and your work. Here are nine bathroom ideas to help maximize relaxation and rejuvenation in your daily routine.

1. Create Serenity With Mixed Finishes

Mixing glossy and matte finishes is a subtle way to create visual texture in your space, creating a feeling of tranquility. The glossy finish reflects light, brightening the room, while the matte finish offers a soothing respite. This luxurious bathroom, designed by Timber Trails, combines Queen Beige polished marble with San Dona honed marble tile, creating a subtly sophisticated space.

2. Spa Bathroom Ideas

Beige, brown and ochre are calming bathroom colors that evoke a feeling of warmth. This spa-like bathroom, designed by Nikki Chu, showcases the Macchia Vecchia marble-look tile. While the color palette remains soft, the tiles’ dramatic veining adds an invigorating sense of movement, making this space at once restive and rejuvenating.

3. Sensory Bathroom Ideas

The Enredo Steel Dark Brown wall tile adds visual and tactile texture to this space. The raised surface provides an energizing component by stimulating the sense of touch, while the dark neutral color produces a calming effect, making this the perfect place to start or end your day.

Featuring: Enredo Steel Dark Brown, Dark Stainless Steel Somerset, Glass Shelf and Quartzite Patagonia.

4. Relaxing Bathroom Ideas

A corner seat provides a place to rest and relax in your shower. A seat may also be a necessity for people with mobility issues, and it is a great addition if you’re looking to make your home more adaptable for aging in place. As this gorgeous shower demonstrates, it can also be quite stylish.

This chic shower features scalloped green marble tile and a marble-look tile with dramatic green veining and gold trim.
Featuring: Gem by Alison Victoria, Marradi Calacatta Emerald and Alison Victoria Precious Metals Rose Pencil.

5. Increase Your Connectivity to Nature

Colors and textures inspired by the outdoors help boost serotonin and ground you in the natural world. Blues, greens, earth tones and wood looks all relax and rejuvenate the senses. While natural wood might not be ideally suited to the dampness of a bathroom, a wood-look tile, like the Violin Decor tile shown here, will still contribute to a soothing space. For more ideas on bringing nature’s benefits into your home, check out our guide to biophilic design.

This luxurious shower features a blue handmade-look tile and a fluted wood-look tile accent wall.
Featuring: Cool Blue, Violin Decor and DURAL Black Matte Square Edge.

6. Declutter With a Shower Niche

Ditch the shower caddy and store your shampoo in style with an integrated shower niche. Showcasing a favorite patterned or mosaic tile in your niche will elevate your overall bathroom design. These niches are also adaptable to your space; you can install multiple niches to meet your needs or create one long shelf.

This beautiful white marble shower wall features a long recessed shelf.
Featuring: Volakas Honed, Volakas Honed Chevron, Volokas Honed Somerset and Volakas Honed Bullnose.

7. Surround Yourself With Soothing Natural Stone

Nothing says luxury like natural stone. The unique tones and veining found in marble, slate and travertine will make your space truly one of a kind. This shower features Legno limestone tile throughout; the natural veining adds movement, while the warm shades of beige infuse the space with serene tranquility.

Walk in shower in bathroom area tiled with a vein cut limestone of taupe and grey coloration in several sizes and mosaics alike.  Mosaics are mixed with a white marble. Shower seat is same material. Fixtures are a polished chrome.
Featuring: Legno, Legno Wheaton, Legno Luce Corsica, Legno Luce Skirting, Legno Luce Barnes, Legno Corner Seat, Legno Luce Bullnose, Legno Luce Somereset and Legno Double Chevron.

8. Create an Invigorating Pattern

When designing your self-care haven, the most important consideration is finding what appeals most to you. Incorporating a bold pattern to showcase your personality may be more appealing than natural stone. The Big Sur by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Off the Hook tile, shown here, features an artistic pattern with six distinct tile faces, offering a wealth of creative possibilities. Shop our full selection of patterned tiles to find a design that reflects your style.

9. Add an Interesting Focal Point

A tile focal point–whether it’s a stylish picture frame accent or a floor-to-ceiling stripe–adds interest to your space. Mosaics and patterned tiles, like the Toris Bandes tile shown here, add shape, movement and design. Play with contrasting and complementary patterns, textures and shapes to find a look that embodies your zen bathroom design.

This contemporary shower features wood-look porcelain tile and a band of white with black lined diamond-patterned tile and black  half-hexagon mosaic tile floor.
Featuring: Amazona Amendoa Wood Look, Trois Bandes, Noir Honed Hixton, Noir Flat Corner Shelf and Tory Black.

From vibrant cobalt to dreamy sky, blue is a versatile hue that is having a much-deserved moment in interior design. Blue tile has the ability to rejuvenate your space and brighten your mood for the day. Here are twelve of our favorite bathroom tile ideas that will have you singing the praises of blue.

1. Pastel Patterns

Is there anything like a clear, blue-sky day to brighten your mood? Start your day with color therapy with the soft-pastel patterned Annie Selke Flora Vapor Blue floor tile. The Annie Selke Artisanal White handmade-look subway tile adds a craftsman look to this room.

Featuring: Annie Selke Flora Vapor Blue and Annie Selke Artisanal White.

2. Cloudy Mosaics

Even a cloudy sky can be beautiful. We love the mood created with the Winter Morning Glass and Athens Glass Mosaic blue shower tile shown here. The cool, reflective blue-grey tones give off calming vibes that will ease you into your day.

Featuring: Blanco Waves, Bianco Carrara Pol Curb, Winter Morning Glass, Hampton Carrara Cobble, Winter Morning Athens, Hampton Carrara Hixton, Hampton Carrara and Hampton Carrara Bullnose.

3. Artisanal Handmade Looks

The stunning artisanal appeal of handmade and handmade-look tile infuses your space with vibrant visual texture. The Cool Blue tile, shown here, offers the perfectly imperfect aesthetic of authentic handmade tiles, but with the added benefit of being easier to install (and more budget-friendly) thanks to its 12″ x 24″ format and pre-scored grout lines.

This large modern bathroom features a blue handmade-look accent wall.
Featuring: Cool Blue.

4. Abstract Patterns

Show off your artistic side with the Big Sur by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Off the Hook tile. The abstract blue glossy patterns, overlaid on a cream-colored matte base are designed to resemble glazed pottery. With six distinct tile faces, you can create a custom design that’s uniquely you.

5. Ornate Patterns

A charming floral or lace-like pattern adds a touch of grace to any space. In this cozy bathroom, Danielle Deming Home & Design paired the Zara Blue tile with a blue accent wall and modern fixtures, creating a unique transitional space. Discover how to achieve this traditional meets contemporary look in our guide to transitional design.

6. Bright Bold and Geometric

Add dimension to your walls with a bold geometric tile. The dark- and light-blue lines in the Blu Window Hex tile create dynamic visual interest on this wall. This blue bathroom tile works well with the simple accents and white fixtures.

Featuring: Blu Window Hex.

7. Beach Vibes

The Summerland by Jeffery Alan Marks is everything we love about laid-back, seaside summers. The blue bathroom floor and wall tile is designed to look like faded linen embroidery, this patterned hexagon tile looks great paired with neutral accents and tile like the Tribeca Gypsum White. Discover more beachy style ideas in our guide to coastal chic design.

Featuring: Summerland by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Miramar Hex and Tribeca Gypsum White.

8. Denim Pattern

The Laura Ashley Star Cloud Blue is blue-jean dreams. With the fun and dimensional hexagon shape and the playful star pattern, this tile is casual yet chic. Pair it with a subtle white tile like the Penny Round Matte White to make this tile a standout.

9. Stylish Shower

A beautifully patterned or mosaic tile makes for a stunning tile focal point, sure to enliven any shower. Much like a decorative throw pillow on a white couch, placing the Annie Selke Aylin Blue tile in the center of the shower creates a designer moment without overwhelming the space.

10. Sleek Subway Tile

Warm neutrals were the trend of the year, and the Coco Canvas tile was the most popular of them all. Three of the top bathrooms feature this charmingly detailed, handmade-look tile. This serene bathroom showcases the Coco Canvas matte tile in a horizontal stack, complemented by a double band of glossy tile in a vertical stack. The glossy finish captures the light, creating a stunning yet subtle effect.

9. Alison Victoria’s City-Chic Shower

HGTV star Alison Victoria’s pretty-yet-edgy shower features tile from her Tile Shop-exclusive collection. The subtle brick-like texture of the Brick x Brick by Alison Victoria Petal tile adds grit to the feminine pastel tone, while the vertical brick-lay pattern gives the space a contemporary feel. If you love her signature city-chic style, shop our newly expanded Alison Victoria collection.

2. Mosaic Masterpiece

The subtle variations in surface texture on the Track Stak White Two Tone mosaic tile add visual interest to this contemporary bathroom wall. The white with beige detailing creates a pleasing tonal variation that perfectly complements the grey and beige veining in the Hampton Carrara tile. The result is a stunning yet understated mix of neutrals, creating a relaxing and rejuvenating space.

1. Soothing Neutrals

We saw a lot of love for neutral bathrooms this year, so it makes sense that the most-liked, most-shared and most-pinned bathroom features a stunning array of creams and whites. This serene shower showcases the Coco Canvas Glossy handmade-look tile, with a focal point of the Penny Round Gloss White tile. The pairing of subway tiles with penny rounds creates rich texture while maintaining tonal consistency, and the brass fixtures and trim add a touch of refinement to the space.

Whether you’re looking to add functionality to your home or simply refresh an existing bath in anticipation of holiday guests, these stylish powder tile ideas will make the most of your small space. Read on for ideas with mosaics, marble and everything in between and for more inspo, check out our Bathroom Tile Ideas for 2024.

1. Create a Tiled Accent Wall

Tiling only one wall can create a focal point and add the illusion of depth to your space. In this beautiful bathroom, Timber Trails tiled the wall behind the sink with the Alato Beachwalk Chevron glass mosaic tile, which doubles as a backsplash and enhances the space with a space a sense of movement.

2. Embrace Classic Encaustic Patterns

Made from cement using centuries-old techniques, encaustic tiles will lend an air of timelessness to your design. The classic pattern on the Britianna Camden tile is a case in point. In this half bathroom, the tile creates interest above the sink, while the warm neutral palette lends softness to the space.

3. Go Back to Basics With White Subway Tile

White subway remains a popular tile for a reason–the sleek and clean design is endlessly versatile, making this a great tile choice if you anticipate wanting to change up your bathroom decor with the seasons (or your moods). Here, @talk_repurposed installed the Imperial Bianco Matte tile with black grout, creating continuity of color between the walls and the black and white penny tile floor.

This bathroom features white subway tile and black and white penny round tile floor.

4. Add Shape & Movement with Marble Hexagon Tile

An elegant marble instantly elevates any room’s design. Choose a dynamic shape, like the Hampton Carrara Tumbled Hex tile shown here, to add even more interest to your space. The veining in the marble creates subtile variations in color between the tile pieces for a natural sense of movement.

5. Expand Your Wall Space with Large-Format Tile

Large-format tile requires fewer grout lines, which will give your space a more expansive and cohesive look–perfect for a small powder room! And you don’t need to tile the entire room to get the effect. This bathroom, designed by Domicile 37, uses oversized Invisible Grey tile as a wainscoting. Installed vertically, this tile gives the space the illusion of height as well as depth.

6. Create a Wellness-Focused Space With Wood-Look Tile

Wood-look tile offers the same connection to nature and serotonin-boosting benefits as natural wood. The Fileto Camel tile used in this chic bathroom features a soothing fluted look that adds to the tactile experience of this space. For more ideas on the nature-inspired benefits of “biophilic design” check out this helpful guide.

7. Add Texture With Sculptural Tile

Like fluted tile, sculptural or 3D tile will add to the sensory experience of your space. The wavy ridges of the Ritual tile, shown here, create texture and soft movement. As the light catches on the raised portion of the tile and casts shadows, the effect is a dynamic space that can be changed with the simple addition of a candle.

This bright white bathroom features a fluted marble-look tile backsplash.
Featuring: Ritual.

8. Soften the Edges with Wave-Shaped Tile

Tile is a hard design element by definition, but tiles with a curved shape–like the Wave Grey Owl tile shown here–will lend softness to your space. The curves of the mirror, circular wall sconce, and even the sink basin all work with the curved tile to give this space a feeling of ease.

Featuring: Wave Grey Owl.

9. Create a Beachy Vibe

Give your powder room a relaxed seaside update with “coastal chic” design. Characterized by charming blues and warm neutrals, this sleek style goes beyond basic nautical nods. We love how the Big Sur by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Off the Hook tile uses an abstract, wave-like pattern to evoke the ocean shore. For more beachy tile ideas, check out this comprehensive guide.

10. Pair a Pattern With a Pattern

Because it’s a relatively small area of the house, and perhaps not a room you’ll use on a daily basis, the powder room is a great place to explore your style. Patterns that might feel busy in the master bathroom can provide an unexpected surprise for your guests. Here, a bold floral wallpaper is paired with a black-and-white marble-look patterned tile for a visually stimulating space.

11. Create a Chic (and Cozy) Space

“Modern farmhouse” embraces comfy, homey and effortlessly stylish design. If this is your aesthetic, then your powder room is the perfect place to put it on display. For this rustic-chic bathroom I SPY DIY based their design around the hexagon mirror, using the simple Silver Hex tile to highlight this shape and tie in to the neutral tone of this space.

12. Soften Your Space With a Pastel Palette

Create a dreamy space that relaxes your senses with soft pastel tile. This lovely powder room, designed by Rodi Homes, features the Color Market Alice tile installed in a herringbone pattern. The light pink tile makes this space light and feminine, while zig-zag grout lines add bold movement.

13. Mix Old and New With Transitional Design

This elegant bathroom from Timber Trails perfectly encapsulates the timeless charm of transitional design. Blending traditional elements (the grey paneled walls and regally shaped mirror) with the contemporary light fixture and diamond-shaped tile, this space transcends trends. If your style falls between classic and contemporary, discover more ideas in our Tile For Every Style guide to transitional design.

14. Add Depth to Your Space With Glossy Tile

Make your small space feel larger with a slightly reflective glossy tile that catches the light. The gloss finish of the Tribeca Basalt tile used in this bathroom creates the illusion of depth and also brightens the room. Glossy tile is perfect for a space that includes a natural light source.

4. Add Drama with Rich Veining

The expressive veining of the Macchia Vecchia tile used in this grand bathroom, designed by Nikki Chu, creates dramatic movement throughout this space. Though this tile is marble-look porcelain, the multiple tile faces provide variation, giving it a realistic appearance. The porcelain tile is paired with the Calacata Evora marble floor for a richly opulent space. For more of Nikki Chu’s fashion-forward room designs, check out this home tour.

From crisp ceramic to rich marble, white tile will make any space feel bright and clean–perfect for a bathroom! Read on for 12 stunning ideas to rejuvenate your space.

1. Embrace Handcrafted Elegance

Zellige tiles are cut, painted and glazed by hand, ensuring that each piece is truly unique. This bathroom designed by @forgegrove features the Zellige White Gloss tile paired with brass hardware for authentic elegance. The tiles’ slight variations in size and coloration create an uneven surface, adding lots of visual texture within the neutral color palette.

3. White Bathroom Floor Tile Ideas

A white tile floor is a nice base for any room, and we love how the Hampton Carrara Hex tile used in this chic bathroom designed by Timber Trails coordinates with the cool neutrals in this stylish space. The serene wall color brings out the soft grey veining in the marble tile, while the hexagon shape adds a sense of movement and sophistication.

4. Mix Glossy & Matte Finishes

A glossy finish creates a reflective surface, which, when paired with a matte finish, creates a stunningly subtle design. The alternating stripes of the Coco White Glossy and Matte tiles shown here use natural light to add brightness and interest to this contemporary bathroom.

Featuring: Coco White Glossy and Coco White Matte.

5. Make a Big Impact With Large-Format Tiles

One of our favorite trends in tile is also one of the biggest literally and figuratively. Large-format tiles require fewer grout joints, giving your space an expansive, cohesive look. The bold grey veining on the oversized Elite Renoir tile used in this bathroom designed by Sara Matos Interior Designs adds dramatic movement along a sleek bathroom wall and tub surround.

6. Make a Point With Picket Tile

A twist on traditional subway, picket tile is popular for its unique shape and off-center layout. This bathroom pairs the Lanse Matte White Picket tile with a sleek sink and contemporary accessories for an ultra-modern look.

7. Add Subtle Contrast with Beige Grout

The grout you choose can drastically alter your tile design. A contrasting black or dark grey grout will create drama, while white grout lines recede so tiles appear to blend together. For subtle contrast, choose a light neutral shade like the beige grout used in this bathroom. The soft coloring brings out the warm tones in the sink and countertop and contrasts nicely with the black hardware for a chic, contemporary look.

8. Make Waves for a Softer Design

The gentle curves of the Wave White tile soften this modern design for a calming effect. The wave pattern is perfect for a “coastal chic” designs. Pair this tile with blue or sand-colored paint and accessories for an elevated beachy vibe.

9. Add Softness With Honed Marble

A honed finish adds softness and depth to marble without the reflective shine of polished stone. Here San Dona honed marble is used throughout the space for an elegant, cohesive look, but you could easily incorporate satin-finish or polished pieces to highlight certain areas or bring brightness to your design.

10. Play With Pattern

Good news! You can still incorporate pattern into your white bathroom. The subtle white-on-taupe motif of the Annie Selke Flora Coconut Milk tile on the upper walls of this transitional shower lends a botanical flair to this otherwise simple tile design. The effect is a rich space that still maintains a soft, neutral color scheme.

A bathroom shower design combines patterned tile on the upper shower walls, with subway tile on the lower shower walls. Trim pieces are layered to create an attractive transition between the two surface materials, and tie in the color of the shower fixtures. A small corner shelf on the upper portion of the wall adds functional storage.
Featuring: Annie Selke Flora Coconut Milk, Annie Selke Artisanal White, Dark Stainless Steel Somerset, Siberian Pearl Corner Shelf and Hampton Carrara Somerset.

11. Create Charm With a Mosaic

Available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and patterns, mosaic tile usually incorporates smaller pieces–perfect for creating traction on a bathroom or shower floor or for decorating a wall like this modern bathroom. The small, elongated bar shapes of the KitKat White mosaic tile add texture to this relaxing and charming space.
