Bring the Spa Home with Patterned Bathroom Floor Tiles
The biggest trend in bathroom tile is to recreate the look and feel of a spa day in the comfort of your home. In addition to visual elements like colors and sophisticated patterns, keep practical considerations like slip-resistance in mind as you narrow down your tile flooring options.
Here are several options to consider when elevating your bathroom with tile:
- Go Big: Large format tiles typify the spa day experience and make residential bathrooms appear larger and less cluttered. Most large format tiles are 12” x 24” or larger and provide a seamless look with less grout to clean! Matte finishes are on trend and mimic natural stone; we love solid colors like grey, white, or beige.
- Herringbone: These tight patterns are usually arranged in a classic V-shape, leading the eye and adding visual interest beyond the traditional grid pattern of conventional tiles. Herringbone patterned tile bathroom floors are endlessly fascinating thanks to the rectangular tiles arranged at regular 45-degree angles. Consider contrasting light and dark colors for extra visual interest – dark blue and white offer a beautiful effect!
- Patterned: Also known as decorative tile or mosaic tile, these feature intricate and repeating designs in a wide array of colors and patterns. Busy pre-built patterned tiles camouflage dust and dirt while combining historical charm and modern durability. Plus, mosaic tiles are a trendy addition to your bathroom floor.

How to Choose Tile for Your Bathroom Floors
In addition to choosing a beautiful pattern, find the right material for longevity and safety.
- Porcelain vs. ceramic: While typically more costly, porcelain tile is harder, more water-resistant, and generally longer lasting. Lean toward porcelain if it aligns with your design tastes and your budget.
- Stay safe: Wet flooring significantly increases fall risk. Look for tiles with matte or textured finishes to provide traction. Smaller tiles with more grout lines offer better grip than large-format tiles in most cases. Reserve glossy tiles for shower walls and backsplashes.
- Consider colors: Light colors make even small bathrooms feel spacious, while dark colors are more dramatic.
