Bathroom tile combinations able to afford boundless creativity

Are you thinking of revamping your bathroom but you don’t know where to start? Choosing the right tiles for your bathroom’s walls and floors is not as easy as it might seem because, whether you’re refurbishing an existing bathroom or having a new one built, there’s a multitude of possible options to choose from. That’s why, here at Apavisa, we’d like to give you a few bathroom tile ideas that can be inter-combined to fit in with styles of all kinds.

The first step in decorating a bathroom is to choose the color, size and shape of the tiles, depending on factors like the characteristics of the bathroom, the availability of natural light, and whether the room is big or small. You also need to decide whether you want the tiles to be a focus of attention or to play a more discrete, less noticeable role. The aim is to achieve a touch of originality and a carefully chosen, timeless appeal, in addition to guaranteeing the necessary safety, so in this case, we recommend the use of non-slip porcelain floor tiles.

Shower tile ideas

Showers are very personal places and so it’s crucial to choose the right tiles, especially if you want the shower to stand out from the rest of the room. Shower tiles will also be needed that are resistant to damp and direct contact with water, as well as being easy to care for.

Porcelain tiles come in endless different looks, with some designs that can be used as visual features and others conceived to blend in with the rest of the bathroom.

Tiles for modern showers should bring luminosity and dynamism to bathrooms. In the selection of the shower tiles and bathroom tiles, opt for neutral colors like grey, white or even black, together with natural finishes and designs with a continuous effect.

Geometrical tiles are a fantastic choice for shower walls as they break away from conventional notions of a shower, adding a strong touch of personality. Mosaic shower tiles are another ground-breaking, creative option.

At Apavisa, we have a wide variety of highly original bathroom tiles, able to fit in with all possible settings and styles. Take a look at the shower wall tile ideas in the following photos.  

If, on the other hand, you prefer to have a walk-in shower, your bathroom will be visually more spacious. In this case, use the same modern shower tiles as the rest of the bathroom for a more invisible, integrated appearance. These are discrete-looking shower areas that blend into the rest of the room, maintaining the same overall visual coherence. 

Creativity in bathroom design

Tile designs nowadays can be genuinely ground-breaking. Designers are creating innovative shapes, relief patterns and sizes that can be used alone or in combination to create unique looking spaces. Marble, textile, metal or stone-effect tiles, ones with geometrical patterns… There is no end to the creativity!
