1. Match White on White

Brilliant and bright, white won’t overwhelm the senses like more saturated hues. It’s perfectly acceptable to pair a white tile with a white vanity, but to prevent your space from feeling too stark, consider adding tonal variations elsewhere.

Here, the Coco White Glossy wall tile is paired with a white vanity, but the straight-stack subway installation features soft beige grout that echoes the pinkish beige countertop and sink basin. The subtle shift between the tile and grout tones softens the look of the all-white design while black accents add contrast.

2. Choose a Sandy Hue

Soft and soothing, beige tile maintains your bathroom’s neutral palette while adding neuanced tonal depth. Here, the Wave Old Cream tile enhances the serene color scheme with its gentle movement and softly rounded edges. If you love this curvy design, shop the Wave in this colorway and three others: Blue Reef, Grey Owl and White.

3. Create a Coastal Chic Space

Whether you’re East Coast, West Coast, or no-coast, you can transform your house into a beachhouse with the breezy beauty of modern coastal chic design. More than shells and wicker, this ocean-inspired style celebrates relaxed refinement.

This airy bathroom features the Jeffrey Alan Marks Sand Dollar Ocean tile. Its radiating pattern in cool blue offers a subtle coastal nod, while the white vanity and wainscoting balance the design, creating a space that feels crisp and open, yet rich in visual texture.

4. Pair With an Ornate Pattern

Fanciful and feminine, the Cheverney Blanc tile is paired with a standard white sink vanity to add an air of grandeur to this transitional bathroom. The soft, sophisticated pattern, with its shapely curves and soft neutral palette, is further enhanced by the gold fixtures and sconces.

Find a design to suit your style—whether contemporary, traditional or a blend of the two–in our wide assortment of patterned tile.

5. Add Drama With Black Details

Black and white is a natural pairing that offers dramatic yet harmonious contrast. This stately space, designed by @fivestarfinishllc, pairs a contemporary white sink vanity with Signature Bianco Gloss subway tile and Octagon Matte White with Black mosaic floor tile. The wall design is highlighted with black grout and Signature Black Gloss pencil trim.

Find more contrasting designs in our wide assortment of black-and-white tile.

6. Choose Lush White Marble

Crisp or creamy, white marble brings beautiful, understated elegance to any space. Pair a white vanity with white marble for an effortlessly fashionable look that works with a range of traditional and contemporary styles, like this Annie Selke–designed bathroom, which exudes Hollywood glamour. If you love this exquisite space, explore our exclusive Arctic White collection for warm, white marble in coordinating field, mosaic and trim pieces.

Explore more white marble collections: Hampton Carrara, Calacata Evora, Volakas and Bianco Puro.

7. Add Durable Natural Detail With Luxury Vinyl

If you love the look of wood or stone but not the maintenance, exceptionally durable luxury vinyl flooring offers an affordable, easy-to-install alternative. Made from 100% waterproof material, luxury vinyl—like the Cyrus Plus Akadia shown here—lets you achieve a natural wood look in a moisture-prone bathroom. We love how the blond wood detail complements the white vanity in this contemporary space. Note: Luxury vinyl is not recommended for wet rooms or showers.

Shop luxury vinyl flooring in a range of realistic stone, cement and wood looks.

8. Bring a Pop of Blue

Like a statement belt, a pop of color in an otherwise white room makes your design feel elevated and intentional while adding visual interest. Here, @kalensplace pairs a double white sink vanity with the Laura Ashley Wicker Sea Spray Matte tile. Featuring a light blue background with a whimsical geometric floral motif, this tile adds color without overwhelming the space. On the floor, it helps ground the room; however, it would also look stylish on a wall or backsplash.

Shop your favorite colored tile to add a pop of your favorite hue.

9. Make It Artistic With an Abstract Pattern

Patterned tile comes in a wide range of styles—from dainty florals to dynamic geometric designs. If your aesthetic leans more toward cool eclectic than ornate elegance, consider an abstract pattern.

This chic bathroom features the Nikki Chu Zulu Cement tile—also available in Pumice (beige) and Graphite (black). Globally inspired and effortlessly suave, this tile infuses the space with a high-fashion look that pairs perfectly with the simple white vanity.

Explore our exclusive Nikki Chu designer collaboration for more abstract motifs in fashion-forward neutral color palettes.

10. Marvel With a Marble Mosaic

Mosaic tile’s small format draws the eye along and across the wall or floor, creating a sense of expansiveness, while the natural veining in marble introduces delicate movement. Combine the two for a space that feels both invigorating and serene. Pair a marble mosaic—like the Alison Victoria Malibu Edit Pescador shown here—with a stately white vanity to create an opulent tableau rich in visual interest.

Love this exquisitely elegant look? Shop our wide selection of mosaic tile.

11. Embrace English Country Cottage Design

If cozy elegance is your design sweet spot, English country cottage style might be your cup of tea. Combining the comfort of your grandma’s living room with the sophistication of Jane Austen’s drawing room, this style is equal parts ornate, quaint and whimsical.

Here, a feminine sink vanity is paired with the Laura Ashley Mr Jones Charcoal tile. The charming geometric floral pattern, inspired by the iconic British brand’s textile designs, adds an air of playful refinement to the space.

Shop our exclusive Laura Ashley designer collaboration for more fanciful motifs.

12. Pair With Warm Stone-Look Flooring

Featuring realistic beige veining on a warm grey background, the Pulpis Taupe Hex tile adds beautiful visual texture while tonally complementing the crisp white vanity in this gorgeous transitional bathroom, designed by @franklin.and.main. We love how the stone countertop contributes its own unique detail to this unassumingly lush space.

13. Create Dramatic Movement With Marble-Look Tile

If you love the rich veining of marble but not the upkeep, consider a ceramic or porcelain alternative. Marble-look tile comes in a range of styles—from dramatic to delicate veining, or somewhere in between—like the elegant Lombardia White tile featured in this chic, contemporary bathroom designed by @jaimienelsondesign.

For more durable and easy-to-maintain alternatives to natural stone, check out marble-look tile.

14. Add Rustic Details

This rustic-modern space, designed by @kendalldesignbuild, exemplifies the rugged refinement that makes this design style so popular. The Mask Silver tile (also available in Graphite) features realistic cement details in a durable porcelain format. The magnificent visual texture is complemented by the log cabin wall, while the sleek vanity adds a contemporary element, giving the space a stylish, modern feel.

15. Pick a Penny Tile Backsplash

Small but mighty, penny tile brings shape to your space, adding visual texture and interest—even when pairing a white vanity with a white backsplash. Notice how the Penny Round Gloss White creates a scalloped edge and subtle texture. We love how the cohesive white pairs with the blue accent walls and gold fixtures, but to accentuate your design further, you could install the penny tile with contrasting grout.

16. Add Dramatic Contrast

If you love the drama of a high-contrast design, consider pairing your white vanity with black floor or wall tile. This stylish space features the Noir Chevron tile. The black limestone showcases natural stone details, including delicate white veining, creating a visual throughline from the black-veined white stone countertop to the white vanity and mosaic floor tile.

Love this high-contrast look? Shop our wide selection of black tile.

17. Create a Playful Design

Designed for her young boys, @handmakeshome created a custom wall and floor layout that is both playful and classy. Glass subway tile in White, Storm and Light Blu is arranged in a straight stack with alternating checks and stripes. The hopscotch effect is cheerfully invigorating while maintaining neat lines. On the floor, Penny Round Gloss White tile is installed with a custom border of Penny Round Cloudy tile—its dark and light blue tones echo the coloration of the wall tile.

While a blue vanity would fit with this color scheme, the white vanity helps ground the space with sophistication, creating a room that not only serves young kids but will grow with them.

18. Show Your Stripes

Neat and chic, stripes deliver style while creating the illusion of height or width by drawing the eye along the wall or floor, making your space feel larger. This Timber Trails–designed bathroom features the Hex Matte tile in Black and White, arranged in long stripes across the floor. The monochromatic design echoes the white vanity and black countertop, though you could achieve a similar look in your preferred color scheme using virtually any two same-size hexagon tiles—or, for straight lines, two same-size subway tiles.

19. Cast a Hex

A classic look experiencing a resurgence in contemporary design, hexagon tile ranges in size from small 1″ x 1″ to large 13″ x 14″ formats. A dynamic shape, it combines diagonal and horizontal or vertical lines to create a wonderful sense of movement in your space. This stylish bathroom, designed by @peachandpineinteriors, features the Hampton Carrara Polished Hex marble tile. The marble’s natural grey and beige veining contributes to the elegant flow of the room, tonally complementing the white vanity while adding subtly rich visual texture.

Find a wealth of colors, patterns and styles in our wide selection of hexagon tile. You can even mix same-size shapes to create a custom design!

20. Create a Sense of Movement With a Herringbone Pattern

This stunning space, designed by Timber Trails, pairs lavish, grey-veined Siberian Pearl tile with a warm, greyish-white vanity. The oversized 8″ x 20″ tile is installed in a herringbone pattern, introducing a soothing sense of movement that is further enhanced by the natural shade variation in the marble.

Achieve your own dynamic zigzag design using our wide selection of rectangular tile.

21. Play With an Unexpected Checkerboard Pattern

Checkerboard is a timeless pattern that adds playful sophistication to any space. While a black-and-white square pattern is always on trend, if you want to put a fresh spin on tradition, consider mixing colors in unconventional shapes, like hexagons, subway tile, or large-format rectangles. Here, @pineislanddesign deconstructs the traditional board with the Cassettone Black mosaic tile. Featuring black squares with white borders, this design retains all the charm of a classic checkerboard while offering a unique twist.

Discover curated checkerboard pairings to achieve your own design checkmate.

22. Create a Sensually Serene Space With Limestone Tile

Soothing linear veins run through the Legno limestone floor tile featured in this tasteful West Bay Homes–designed bathroom. The vanity’s decorative embellishments—the beige stone countertop and pink panels—add to the lush neutral color scheme, while the tile’s natural shade variation completes the look with tranquil visual complexity.

For a range of natural shades in this stately stone, check out limestone tile.

23. Choose an Elegant Basketweave

This charming bathroom features the Meram Blanc Carrara Niles with Grey mosaic floor tile. Tonally, the tile blends with the creamy white vanity and walls, but the basketweave pattern—and the natural stone veining—adds subtle visual texture, introducing graceful complexity to this refined design. While the tile pattern is traditional, the space incorporates contemporary details—the silver fixtures with minimalist handles and sleek silver knobs—for a beautiful transitional look.

24. Elevate Your Design With Marble Subway Tile

Sleek and chic, subway tile is always on trend. Available in a wide range of materials and formats, this classic style has remained popular for over a hundred years—yet still feels contemporary.

4. Pair Blue Tile With White Cabinets

This bright and cheery kitchen, designed by Bria Hammel, features the lovely Glass Periwinkle tile paired with crisp white cabinets. The soft blue backsplash provides subtle contrast, while white grout helps tie the tile into the rest of the space. We love how the light wood-toned chairs add both textural and tonal depth while maintaining the coastal color scheme.

5. Create a Picture Frame

By “framing” a favorite patterned or mosaic tile with trim, you can create a tile picture frame that offers a beautiful focal point to rest your eyes on while standing at the sink or stove. Here, the 4-D Nature tile is framed by layered pieces of Signature Slate Blue and Bianco pencil trim. The raised botanical pattern on the framed tile adds texture and interest to the Signature Slate Blue subway tile backsplash.

Shop our wide selection of patterned tile for the look that expresses your personal style—whether you prefer a gorgeous floral or a bold geometric.

7. Add a Historical Pattern

Derived from iconic British designer William Morris’s historic wallpaper patterns, our exclusive Morris & Co. collection brings royal English design into American homes. Here, the Morris & Co. James Wandle River tile features a beautifully ornate botanical pattern inspired by the motif used for wallpaper at St. James’s Palace. We love how it pairs elegantly with white cabinets and marble countertops, but it would look equally stunning with warm wood cabinetry.

8. Make Waves

The curved design of the Wave Blue Reef tile adds a soft, fluid touch to this charming backsplash. Its unique shape and deep sapphire hue give the tile (also available in Grey Owl, Old Cream and White) brilliant visual appeal. Offering a variety of layout possibilities, you can pair it with contrasting grout to highlight the pattern and watch as the glossy surface reflects the light like gentle waves.

Design has the power to transport you—with the right tile, your suburban American kitchen can become a Mediterranean villa.

17. Make It Cool With Gunmetal Blue

The post 18 Brilliant Blue Kitchen Tile Ideas appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

1. Charm With a Sand Dollar Pattern

Embodying his effortless beach aesthetic, the latest tile in our exclusive Jeffrey Alan Marks designer collaboration brings a burst of energy to this soothing coastal chic space. The Sand Dollar Ocean tile (also available in grey Ash) features a blue sand dollar motif on a crisp white background. We love how the mostly white space lets the circular blue pattern shine, but you could easily dial up the coastal vibe with bright blue accents.

2. Evoke the Surface of the Sea

Subtle shifts in tone give the Hackney Dark Blue tile its stunning, undulating quality—hallmarks of handmade-look tile. Rich blues and a glossy finish create a shimmering effect as light dances across the surface, capturing the essence of water in motion. Explore our wide selection of handmade-look tile for more perfectly imperfect styles.

3. Make Sandy Waves

Blue isn’t the only color that elicits the oceanside—sandy hues capture the warmth of a day at the beach, even in the middle of a Midwest winter. The Wave Old Cream tile featured in this coastal bathroom soothes the senses with its soft, flowing movement. While this gorgeous beige pairs beautifully with the crisp white walls and vanity, you can elevate the coastal vibe with complementary light-blue accents.

4. Choose Cool Neutrals

Not every day at the beach is sun-soaked. Cool neutrals can be just as effective as warm tones in creating a breezy oceanscape. Here, the Jeffrey Alan Marks Summerland Miramar tile is paired with the Tribeca Gypsum White tile. The cool grey undertones of the handmade-look subway tile bring a soothing moodiness to this coastal chic bathroom, while the crisp white and sun-faded blue linen-inspired pattern adds a summery touch. Shop our exclusive Jeffrey Alan Marks designer collection for more effortlessly cool coastal designs.

5. Pair Blue and Beige

Like sea and sand, blue and beige are a natural pairing that instantly evokes a coastal chic aesthetic. This stylish bathroom features the blue-green Look Avio subway wall tile alongside the sandy Ragno Taupe hex floor tile. The vibrant, cool tones of the handmade-look subway tile beautifully complement the warm beige-taupe floor tile. Notice how the prominent white grout lines in the grid-stack subway tile create a visual throughline to the geometric white pattern on the hex tile, as well as the white wall and shower floor tiles. Shop our wide selections of blue tile and beige tile to find your perfect combination.

6. Change the Game With a Black-and-White Palette

Here’s another take on the Jeffrey Alan Marks Summerland tile, this time in the dark-grey Toro. The black-and-white color scheme flips the script on the traditional blue-and-beige coastal palette. The faded linen-inspired patterned tile delivers coastal vibes, while the Tribeca subway wall tiles—in Gypsum White and black Basalt—add bold, color-blocked contrast. To keep the space coastal yet maintain the color scheme, add artsy black-and-white beach photos and white shells.

7. Add a Glossy Blue Pattern

Set against a matte white background, the glossy light-blue crosses of the Astron Azul tile reflect the light, adding depth and interest to this subtly beautiful design. We love how this coastal bathroom pairs the patterned tile with the marble-look Motion Soft Grey tile, though it would look just as stunning with a warm beige option.

8. Pick Pebbles

Create the full sensory experience of a day at the beach with the Grey Pebble Small tile. The raised pebble mosaic offers a gentle foot massage as you go about your morning or evening routine—or install it on the wall and enjoy the smooth curves under your hand. Just add an ocean-breeze candle, and your senses will be convinced you’re seaside.

9. Try an Abstract Tableau

If your aesthetic leans artistic, the beautiful, abstract design of the Jeffrey Alan Marks Big Sur Off the Hook tile (also available in the green-toned Sea Spray) will express your refined, eclectic taste. Featuring a glossy blue patina finish reminiscent of glazed pottery and six distinct, multi-directional tile faces, this tile invites endless creativity in layout and expression.

10. Elevate Your Design With Marble

Coastal chic design is incredibly versatile—it can be as cultured or as kitschy as you like. Marble tile not only embodies elegance, but its veining can range from dramatic to subtle, creating a sense of movement that echoes the ever-changing nature of sea and sand. This sophisticated bathroom, designed by Bria Hammel Interiors, features the Hampton Carrara Chevron tile; its zigzag pattern and soft grey and beige veining enhance the refined coastal aesthetic.

11. Create a Shimmering Scape With Glass Tile

Who can resist the beauty of sunlight sparkling on the open sea? Bring this shimmering effect to your space with naturally reflective glass tile. Here, the Blue Twilight Brick tile adds shine to the bathtub surround with a stunning array of dark and light blue tones. If you love this dazzling effect, explore our wide assortment of glass tile.

12. Show Your Stripes

A quintessential nautical design element, stripes instantly make any space feel sea-worthy. This sleek shower, designed by Timber Trails, elevates the classic pattern by combining marble and travertine to create elegant lines. The alternating Legno travertine and San Dona marble tiles form a serene space that recalls the natural beauty of a sandy shore.

The Cool Blue tile, shown here, offers the perfectly imperfect aesthetic of authentic handmade tiles, but with the added benefit of being easier to install (and more budget-friendly) thanks to its 12″ x 24″ format and pre-scored grout lines.

4. Abstract Patterns

Show off your artistic side with the Big Sur by Jeffrey Alan Marks in Off the Hook tile. The abstract blue glossy patterns, overlaid on a cream-colored matte base are designed to resemble glazed pottery. With six distinct tile faces, you can create a custom design that’s uniquely you.

7. Beach Vibes

The Summerland by Jeffery Alan Marks is everything we love about laid-back, seaside summers.

If you love this artistic, eclectic style, check out our guide to boho chic design.

12. Blue Star

Modern farmhouse design tends to favor warm, earthy tones, but the Star Blue tile with its folk-art-inspired pattern will add a pop of cool color to your decor. We love how Z & Co. Designs paired this Americana pattern with contemporary hardware for a sleek, yet homey aesthetic. Discover how to achieve this cozy-chic style in our guide to modern farmhouse design.
