Creative Tile Designs Elevate Shower Spaces

Transform your bathroom into a personalized oasis through the creative use of tile. A shower remodel offers plenty of opportunity to mix and match tile colors and patterns. Why settle for walls and floors with the same design?

In the bathroom above, the shower remodel extended the subway tile on the walls while using a floor tile with a design that emulates the floor tile outside the shower. With so much glass in the shower these days, it’s important to create design cohesion inside and outside the shower.

This shower remodel creates an accent wall with pattern tile from the same color family. The gold fixtures add additional warmth to this design.

Invest in high-quality materials and timeless design elements to ensure your bathroom remains stylish and functional for years to come.

Use either natural light from windows or skylights to highlight your tile. The natural light filtered through the window shade above the tub brings out the beauty of the black tile and highlights the contrast with the light grout and shower floor tile.  Next to paint, no other design element provides such a wide array of choices than wall and floor tile.

Take the remodel as an opportunity to personalize your space with decorative tile accents to make the shower space your own.

Smart Water Saving Fixtures

Consider adding luxurious touches such as a rainfall showerhead. Whether mounted on the wall or ceiling. many modern fixtures can increase pressure while reducing flow. You get the feel of more water while using less.

Hand-held shower heads and vertical spas also offer water-saving options. Just because your shower remodel oozes luxury at every touch doesn’t mean it can’t be eco-friendly too.

Luxurious Shower Fixtures for a Stunning Upgrade

Choose high-quality materials and luxurious shower fixtures. Pick durable finishes like bright chrome, brushed nickel or matte black for a sophisticated look that is timeless and easy to care for. Invest in fixtures with innovative features such as thermostatic valves for consistent water temperature and anti-scald technology for safety.

The bright chrome plays off the cool tone gray tile in the first shower while the brushed nickel complements the warm tones in the second shower.

Black fixtures play an important role in the design of this shower/tub remodel. Notice the black accents carry to the door lever!

Bathroom Contractor Talks Tile

By / Bathroom Remodel / Comments Off on Bathroom Contractor Talks Tile

Bathrooms get wet. It’s their job. Every bathroom contractor knows that wet areas are no place for fiber surface floors. That’s why carpet isn’t used in bathrooms. Fibers plus water equals mold. That’s an equation for disaster. But tile plus water equals easy care. They are a match made in heaven. Tile provides a hard surface that doesn’t hold water. Mold dies a dry death without water. And when it comes to tile, you have so many options: natural stone, ceramic and porcelain are the most popular for the bathroom.

Carrara and Calcatta Tile

Italian Carrara marble has been revered for centuries. Michelangelo’s Pietà is carved from Carrara marble. Carrara and Calcatta tiles are natural stone options that are perfect for serene bathroom style.

Both are white with veins of black, gray, and gold. And, both of these materials are quarried in Italy. But, there are differences.  The veins on Cararra are blurred and the white is not pure white. It’s still quite lovely, but it is less costly than Calcatta.  When you compare Carrara and Calcatta the difference is obvious. Calcatta is very white and the vein lines are crisp and clear. It is a more costly marble.

Granite Tile

Like Carrara or Calcatta marble, granite is a hard-working, hard surface for the bathroom. It stands up to heat, humidity, and splashes of water. Granite is perfect for countertops, showers, shower benches, or floors. Did you know that granite is a great conductor of heat? Granite tiles installed over a heating mat make for toasty toesies on cool mornings.

Don’t think you need granite on every inch of the floor to enjoy the natural look of this stone. Here, granite accents make all the difference in this floor design.

Porcelain Tile

When it comes to versatility, porcelain tile is the winner. Ceramic and porcelain are both made from clay and then fired. Porcelain clay is more refined and purer than plain ceramic clay. It’s also fired at a higher temperature. The result is tile with a low moisture absorption rate. It resists stains and water. The sky is the limit when it comes to sizes, shapes, colors, and styles. Just take a look at this bathroom.

Notice the different shapes. The hexagons on the floor contrast with the rectangles on the wall. This breaks up the space and successfully pairs large and small sized shapes for maximum eye appeal. Porcelain can even resemble wood.
