Bathroom tile ideas abound. If you’re looking to bring energy and sophistication to your bathroom remodeling project, consider tile. Tile is perfect for the humid environment found in most bathrooms. Modern tile vendors have created an amazing array of styles and colors, incorporating glass, metal and natural stone.

Design Considerations For Tile Bathroom Remodeling
You’ll find yourself facing a wide variety of choices as you brainstorm bathroom tile design ideas. Here are some design tips to help you along the way:

• Color — Color can have a big impact on your bathroom remodeling project. Light colors can make a room seem more spacious while darker colors can add warmth and comfort. Regardless of specific color, muted tones can help to focus attention on the fixtures and other design elements of the room. Although pastels have been common in the past, earth tones can give your bathroom a sophisticated, custom look.
• Accent strips — You can liven up your tile installation with the addition of accent strips. Many tile vendors offer accent tiles that are designed to complement their basic tiles. Accent tiles are best used in moderation and have the most impact when they’re installed at eye level.
• Contrast — Differences in color, size, and texture between areas of tile can help break up the look of your bathroom. Contrast can also be used to define different areas of the room (such as the area behind the vanity) or to create patterns or designs that add visual interest.

Other Tile Options

• Mosaics — Pre-made mosaics are easy to add to your tile installation. Many vendors sell mosaics that are sized to fit most standard tile patterns. A mosaic could be used in a shower area or to add visual interest to a blank wall.
• Warming systems — Although tile is beautiful, it can be cold underfoot. Modern technology has led to the design of ultra-thin warming systems that can be installed under floor tile.
• Tub skirt — Adding tile to the front of your tub, called a skirt, can add another level of sophistication to your tile design.
