How to Choose Bathroom Tiles
The best tile for a bathroom depends on where it will be installed, how much maintenance you prefer, your budget, and the look you want to create. When comparing bathroom tiles, consider:
- Location: Floor and wall bathroom tile can have different performance requirements.
- Material: Porcelain and ceramic are popular options, while natural stone, glass, and other materials can create a distinctive look.
- Size: Tile size can affect both the appearance of the room and how well the tile works in certain applications.
- Maintenance: Some materials require more ongoing care or sealing than others.
- Style: Color, pattern, texture, and finish all help shape the overall look of your bathroom.

Bathroom Floor & Wall Tile
When selecting bathroom floor tile, consider both the overall design and how the surface will perform in a frequently used space. Porcelain and ceramic offer many options for bathroom floors, while natural stone can provide a distinctive look with additional maintenance considerations.
Bathroom wall tile gives you even more flexibility. From simple, understated designs to bold colors, patterns, and textures, tile can be used throughout the room or as an accent to create a focal point.
Shower Floor Tile
When it comes to tile for your shower floor, selecting the appropriate size tile is important to allow for the proper drainage of water and reduce the risk of slipping. Showers with traditional center drains require smaller tile for the floor (typically 3" or smaller) whereas those with a linear drain can use larger sizes. Small tile allows for the appropriate slope needed and extra grip in a wet area. Additionally, this is an area where you can be creative or adventurous with design. Mosaic choices are abundant and can be style-defining.
Tub & Vanity Splashes
It's important to protect the walls of your bathroom from areas that can be potentially splashed. The most common examples of this are the area surrounding the bathtub and the wall behind the vanity. Both areas present an opportunity to have decorative tile that serves a practical purpose while also achieving a desired aesthetic. When choosing tile for this space, the possibilities are endless. Ceramic and porcelain are popular choices, but glass or natural stone tile can also be used to create a beautiful statement.
