Bathroom Tiles that Sparkle

Ready for some good old fashioned renovation? Why not tackle the bathroom – specifically, those cracked, greying and dirty bathroom tiles under your feet.

There are many ways you can update those old ceramic tiles to look fresh and new. Try out these ideas, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised with how much your bathroom changes with just a simple upgrade.

If you’re determined to maintain a neutral look, you can earn some style points by opting for an off white, grey, or taupe ceramic rather than the traditional white.

Or, you can have some fun with checkered tiles. Black and white, brown and beige, green and cream… try playing with a variety of checkered patterns, both large and small, to see what works best for your space.

Oddly shaped bathroom tiles are also an option. Take a look at the pentagonal tile above: it is odd shaped, and uses black spaces to fill in the gaps.

Tiles can move beyond just the floor, too. You can run your tiles up the floor behind the sink or along the back of the bathroom cabinet. This will give your bathroom a sense of continuity and a fresh appeal.

You can use tiles as borders along a standing shower, and even start with the tile as the point of reference for your color scheme. You can match your soap dish and other bathroom accents to your tiles for a harmonious look.
