Easily accessible and sleekly appealing, walk-in showers offer a spa-like feel and a convenient bathing experience, adding value to your home while allowing you to enjoy it longer. From lavish marble designs to lush, nature-inspired motifs and fashion-forward patterns, these tile ideas will ensure your shower is as stylish as it is practical.

1. Explore Neutral Territory

Miles from bland and boring, this exquisite shower proves how vivid and invigorating neutrals can be. Featuring an expressive palette of white, beige and rust, the handmade-look and marble look tiles offer rich details in complementary tones. On the floor, Kasbah tile in Cross Terracotta and Star Bone creates a unique checkerboard, echoing the white and rust tones in the Arabian Pisa Oro Matte shower wall tile. The marble look tile’s lush veining provides a visual throughline to the handmade-look details of the Coco White Matte and Canvas Matte subway wall tiles, creating a beautifully complex yet cohesive space.

2. Add Fluted Details

Awaken your senses with an elegant fluted tile—like the Kelli Fontana Tommas Classico wall tile (also available in grey-veined Carrara) featured in this charming bathroom. The raised, gently rounded flutes are both invigorating and soothing to the touch, while also casting soft shadows that shift as the light moves throughout the room. We love how the crisp marble look tile is paired with the checkerboard-patterned Kelli Fontana Inlay Proper Eden Ode and Florence Lace floor tile for a whimsical, romantic aesthetic.

If you love this classic, bold and whimsical style, shop our exclusive Kelli Fontana designer collection.

3. Coordinate Your Tiles

Create a seamless transition from the bathroom to the shower by pairing large format tiles with coordinating mosaics. In this space, designed by West Bay Homes, Livingstone Bianco large format tile is used on the main floor, while the matching Livingstone Bianco mosaic provides essential traction underfoot in the shower. The increased grout lines of the 2″ square mosaic offer safety without disrupting the visual flow, especially when paired with the complementary Simona White wall tile.

For more exquisitely expansive looks, explore our wide selection of large format tile.

4. Line the Wall With Trim

Whether smoothing the transition between surfaces, outlining a patterned or mosaic picture frame or adding layers of interest to your walls, trim plays an essential role in your tile design. Much like with clothing or bedding, layering trim makes your space look elevated and intentional.

This chic shower features Bianco Gloss subway tile, but it is the bands of Black Gloss London, skirting and pencil trims that take the space from simple to stylish. By creating sleek outlines along the walls, these trim tiles add depth and dimension.

Explore the Signature collection for more elevated basics designed for mixing and matching. 👉

5. Make a Tonal Shift

Whether your walk-in shower is spacious or snug, varying your tile creates invigorating interest. Even a subtle tonal shift can enliven your design. In this stunning shower, designed by Two Chicks and a Hammer, Coco tile is installed in two colorways—White Glossy and Amber Grey Glossy—creating a unique layout that remains uniform in size and style. The undulating tones and texture are enhanced by the herringbone pattern, drawing the eye across the space with a soothing sense of movement. Note how the two colorways are separated by a band of marble trim for an elevated, finished feel.

6. Pick Painterly Motifs

Inspired by her original artwork and popular textile designs, our exclusive Laura Park collection brings painterly expression to unexpected spaces. This gorgeous bathroom features the patterned Cosmo Aegean Blue, Seaside Marble and Bespoke tiles. Picking up the vivid hues of the floor, the Seaside Marble porcelain shower tile creates a space that is both tonally cohesive and beautifully distinct. On the shower floor, the coordinating Seaside Marble herringbone offers essential traction.

7. Bathe Your Space in Marble

If your budget allows, an all-over marble design offers unparalleled beauty and exceptional elegance. As each piece is crafted from natural stone, no two tiles will ever be alike, ensuring your design is truly one of a kind. Featuring Siberian Pearl marble throughout, this exquisite bathroom exemplifies how to mix stone styles to create a distinct, cohesive design. From the hex floor tile to the Niles with Grey Dot picture frame and corner seat, every element coordinates while the stone’s natural veining offers unique variation from piece to piece.

If you love this look of cohesive opulence, explore our wide selection of marble tile.

8. Create a Picture Frame Focal Point

Take advantage of the extra wall space available in a walk-in shower to showcase a beautiful tile focal point. By “framing” a patterned or mosaic tile with trim, you can incorporate a favorite motif that might otherwise feel overwhelming if used throughout the entire space.

Here, the decorative Laura Park Martini Olives Taupe tile is framed by Africa Tempesta Barnes trim. The grey-veined white marble complements the tones of the painterly pattern, creating an elevated, high-end design moment.

Explore our wide selection of trim tile to frame your own tile masterpiece. 👉

9. Go Grey

Gorgeously soothing, grey is a timeless shade that continues to gain popularity in modern spaces. Whether patterned, subway, marble or stone look—like the Moonstone Grey featured in this marvelously moody bathroom—this versatile hue complements a range of contemporary and traditional styles. We love how the large format tile covers the floors and walls to create an expansive, cohesive space, but you could pair it with the coordinating picket mosaic tile to vary the design.

Love this timeless hue? Explore our many shades of grey tile.

10. Show Your Stripes

Lines of Zellige petite subway tile in Shamrock and White run up the far wall of this cheerful shower, creating a sense of height and fashionable variety. Stripes are a great way to visually expand your space
—turn them horizontally to add width—and this dynamic design can be created with virtually any two tiles. Whether you prefer the long, skinny effect of these subway tiles, or want to create a distinct edge with penny round or hexagon—the possibilities are endless.

11. Choose Coastal Hues

Sophisticated seaside serenity washes over this exquisitely blue-hued bathroom. Featuring Signature Denim Gloss subway tile with layered London, pencil and skirting trim details, the soft, moody tones are complemented by sandy-colored Hex Elongated Off White Two Tone mosaic tile. On the floor, Alison Victoria French Connection Le Marais tile brings a beige design with patina detailing. The result is an elevated coastal chic design that goes far beyond typical shells and nautical patterns.

12. Match Stone-Look Tile With Real Stone

Stretch your budget without sacrificing style by pairing stone-look porcelain or ceramic tile with the real thing. While marble, slate and travertine—like the Claros Silver tile featured in this opulent wet room—offer unique details and unparalleled beauty, stone and marble look tile bring superior durability and easy maintenance at a lower price point.

Note how the Atlanta White marble look tile mimics the veining of natural stone, creating a vivid tableau in this West Bay Homes-designed space. The Claros Silver hex floor tile and trim, with their complex beige and grey tones, bring rich, earthy detail and the authentic complexity inherent in natural materials.

13. Add an Abstract Pattern

Mimicking the look and feel of glazed pottery, the Jeffrey Alan Marks Big Sur Sea Spray tile (also available in blue Off the Hook) creates a vivid abstract design in this splendid shower. Featuring six distinct, multi-directional faces, this unique tile allows for unlimited creativity and a truly custom layout. We love how it is paired here with the Look Avio subway tile, installed in a horizontal straight stack to add structure to the fluid, artistic pattern.

Give your feet a treat with the raised stone-shaped Grey Pebble Small tile (also available in Black, Earth, White and White/Grey/Black). The smooth, rounded rocks gently massage your toes, creating a relaxing spa-like experience. Wonderfully soothing and elegantly earthy, this tile pairs perfectly with natural stone tile, such as the Arctic White marble wall tile featured in this luxurious shower.

15. Switch Directions

No need to adhere rigidly to a single layout—even small variations in your design can create interest and make your space feel more intentional. In this refined, transitional bathroom, a double band of Coco Canvas Glossy is installed in a vertical straight stack, artfully disrupting the horizontal stacks of Coco Canvas Matte. The glossy finish heightens the design, reflecting the light to highlight the change in direction. To make this design even more distinct, you could experiment with contrasting colors or textures.

16. Bring in Botanicals

If being in nature boosts your mood, bring the outdoors in with colors, materials and patterns that evoke the natural world. Biophilic design can enhance well-being, making it a perfect style for the space where you begin your day.

This cheerful shower features the Amazonia Emerald Tropic tile. With lush foliage patterns and cool blues and greens mixed with warm brown hues, the hexagon tile creates a vibrant tableau that both invigorates and calms the mind—the perfect setting to start or end a busy day.

17. Surround Yourself With Seamless Luxury

Oversized porcelain panels create a near-seamless stone-slab look in this sleek, contemporary bathroom. The Masterstone White is available in both a complete shower kit and individual panels, allowing you to carry the continuous, floor-to-ceiling marble look throughout your main bathroom. We love how the brass fixtures infuse the space with an elevated, modern aesthetic, but these extra-large porcelain slabs—available in five distinct stone looks—are compatible with a wide range of styles.

Discover seamless sophistication in all five luxurious styles: Masterstone White, Statuario Nuovo, Calacatta White and Max Rapolano Ivory.

18. Choose Fashion-Forward Design

Featuring a geometric hand-drawn motif, the Nikki Chu Zulu Cement tile—also available in Pumice (beige) and Graphite (black)—is fashion-forward and endlessly versatile. Its multidirectional design can be used to create custom patterns; here, the tiles are arranged in horizontal closed loops to create linear movement across the shower’s back wall. The Nikki Chu Mrembo polished marble look tile echoes the grey-and-white palette, while offering its own distinct visual texture.

For more high-end looks, shop our exclusive Nikki Chu designer collection.

19. Choose a Checkmate Design

A timeless pattern that’s a win for grand and cozy spaces alike, checkerboard is a surprisingly versatile style that brings a modern feel to your shower. If you love the look, consider going beyond traditional black and white to put a unique twist on the classic.

This suave, transitional shower, designed by @jessicasmithhomedesign, features Avorio Fiorito and Royal Satin White marble tiles in an elevated, neutral stone design. Picking up the beige and white tones of the Coco Canvas Glossy handmade-look subway wall tile, the checkerboard floor adds a playful element that remains consistent with the bathroom’s formal elegance.

For easy plays on this timeless style, explore our curated checkerboard tile collection.

What’s black and white and stylish all over? This contemporary shower featuring Lanse Matte Picket tile in Black and White. Much like a fashionable tuxedo, this suave space features crisp lines in the form of elongated hex tiles installed in horizontal stacks. While complementary grout makes this a slightly muted design, you could opt for contrasting colors to further highlight the unique silhouettes.

Make a pointed design with our selection of picket tile.

21. Choose Handcrafted Elegance

Each Zellige tile is crafted, painted and glazed by hand, resulting in perfectly imperfect variations in size, texture and color. Note the undulating tones and surface variations in the Zellige Alabaster Gloss wall tile featured in this beautiful bathroom. This single colorway offers a stunning range of pink, grey and beige hues, creating a subtle patchwork tableau. On the floor, Zellige Charcoal Chabon tile in Star Matte and Cross Gloss forms a classic Moroccan pattern. The effect is a marvelously modern space that’s steeped in tradition.

Explore our expertly curated selection of Zellige tile for more authentically handcrafted looks. 👉

22. Add Natural Beauty With Wood-Look Tile

While we wouldn’t recommend real wood for a space that is regularly inundated with water, wood look tile offers the same natural appeal with the waterproof durability of porcelain or ceramic.

Here, the Violin Decor tile features rich visual and tactile texture, combining a realistic wood design with a fashionably fluted surface. The Cool Blue handmade-look tile on the adjoining wall adds rich, undulating tones for a water-like effect, beautifully enhancing the themes of biophilic design.

If you love this durable, earthy aesthetic, explore our wide selection of wood look tile.

23. Give Yourself a Seat

Whatever stage of life you’re in, you can benefit from a place to rest. Walk-in showers make it easier to accommodate mobility aids, and a built-in bench or seat offers a dedicated spot to sit if standing becomes difficult—adding to the long-term accessibility of your home, a key feature of universal design.

As this chic shower proves, a seat can be a stylish feature as well as a practical one. Tiled in Marradi Calacatta Emerald Polished, the seat features bold veining that echoes the natural green of the Alison Victoria Gem scalloped wall tile. Fully integrated into the design, this seat offers unassuming assistance when needed—even if its primary use for now is a convenient spot for shaving.

24. Add Curb Appeal

A stone curb separates your shower pan from the main bathroom floor while elevating the character of your space. Available in a range of natural stone styles, curbs can seamlessly match your shower tile or add a decorative, high-end edge to a ceramic or porcelain design.

This elegant shower features Volakas marble throughout, anchored by a matching Volakas curb. Utilizing expressive, grey-veined marble in mosaic, field and trim formats, the space exemplifies how dynamic a design can be even when sticking to a single stone.

Explore our wide selection of curbs and thresholds in a range of stone styles. 👉

25. Create an All-Over Marble Look

Whether subtly or boldly veined in neutrals or vivid hues, marble look porcelain and ceramic tiles are available in a wide range of looks that fill your space with easy-to-maintain luxury. If you’ve found a marble look tile you love, drenching your entire space—as seen in this stunning Nikki Chu-designed bathroom—creates floor-to-ceiling opulence. The Arabian Niro White Matte tile features rich beige veining and a finish that adds essential traction to shower floors.

For more durably luxurious designs, explore our wide selection of marble look tile.

26. Give It Grip With Granite Tile

A flamed finish creates an earthy, textured surface on the Shanxi Black granite floor tile. Adding natural traction to this transitional shower, the silver-veined stone provides a striking visual contrast to the Tribeca Gypsum White handmade-look subway tile. While a smaller format naturally creates more grout lines for grip, the unique flamed texture of this granite provides inherent slip resistance even in a larger format.

Shop granite tile for more beautifully textured designs. 👉

27. Add Niche Appeal

Form meets function in the shower niche. By providing a stylish spot to store your toiletries, a niche helps reduce tripping hazards while offering a perfect opportunity to showcase a favorite mosaic or patterned tile.

Here, the Arctic White Large Herringbone mosaic is featured within the niche, splendidly framed by layers of Claros Silver Somerset, Arctic White Barnes and DURAL Gold trim. While these coordinate beautifully with the Arctic White field tile, you could further increase your niche’s visibility by using a high-contrast tile.

28. Mix Your Stones

Inspired by the abstract geometric paintings of Piet Mondrian, the Mondrian tile incorporates marble and travertine in varying squares and rectangles to create a striking mosaic. The blend of natural stones and contrasting warm and cool neutrals results in a distinctly contemporary and visually rich tableau.

29. Go for a Gorgeous Green Hue

Gloriously green and visually rich, this spacious bathroom—designed by @yellowstoneinteriordesign—is enough to make anyone envious. The Look Oliva tile lines the shower walls and wainscoting, creating a cohesive and high-end feel. Chic and sleek, this subway tile features perfectly imperfect handmade-look details and undulating tones that give the space a serene sense of movement.

Love this lush hue? Shop our extensive collection of green tile.

30. Add a Tile Rug

More than just a striking design feature, a tile rug provides both visual and tactile guidance in your shower. An effective tile rug is created using mosaic tile framed by a field tile in a contrasting color—like the white Watercolor Marble herringbone tile surrounded by Seaside Marble large format tile. The change in color and texture underfoot helps you navigate your shower safely, allowing you to enjoy your home longer.

Make bathtime the best part of the day! If your kids are lucky enough to have their own bathroom, why not create a space that celebrates their sparkling personalities? Cute patterns, bright colors and timeless subway layouts bring joy to their routines—plus, with a few easy updates, these looks can grow with them.

1. Keep it Cute

This adorable bathroom, designed by @semihandmade, embraces color and playful patterns to bring fun to everyday routines—while still maintaining a clean, orderly appearance. The Track Stack Navy Blue mosaic tile adds depth to the tub surround, a striking contrast to the pale pink walls. On the floor, the White Hex tile offers a neutral base in a classic shape. The confetti wallpaper accent wall–with its charming pattern–ties the space together. The tile is sophisticated enough that a new coat of paint or a more mature wallpaper could easily update the room for a teen.

2. Add Interest With a Custom Layout

This shower—designed by Craven Haven for her two young sons—is deceptively simple. The top half features Verano White tile in a vertical straight stack, while the bottom half showcases Verano Anthracite tile arranged in a horizontal stack. The handmade-look glossy tile has a subtly undulating surface that playfully catches and reflects the light, adding depth to the fun color-block design. The result is a space perfectly suited for children yet grown-up enough to remain appropriate when the showerhead is raised to accommodate teenage boys.

3. Add Cheer with Sunny Yellow

Think beyond blue and pink—this cheerful, gender-neutral bathroom is a delight for all ages! The Color Market Lima Da Persia subway tile creates an invigorating tub surround, while the use of a more muted patterned wallpaper keeps the space from feeling oversaturated. A cute shower curtain adds a personal touch–and offers an easy update as your child’s personality evolves.

4. Pick a Pretty Pattern

A delicate floral pattern can create a fanciful space to inspire imagination—as is evident in this beautiful bathroom featuring Laura Ashley Sunflower Charcoal with Cloud Blue floor tile. Its geometric flower pattern is both whimsical and refined—just as suitable for a teen as it is for a younger child. Note how the Laura Ashley Leaf Cloud Blue tile (this tile is no longer available; achieve a similar look with Laura Ashley Leaf Pale Slate tile) in the shower niche further elevates the design with fun shapes.

5. Choose Black-and-White Tile

As stately as it is simple, a black-and-white tile lends itself to a wide range of designs, from elementary to elegant. This charming bathroom features the Cloth Black and White floor tile. Its gingham-inspired pattern grounds the space, while the uneven, hand-drawn-style lines set a tone of self-expression that continues in the bright yellow sink vanity and vibrant butterfly wallpaper.

6. Use Trim to Elevate the Space

If you want your kids’ bathroom to grow with them—or transition into a guest bathroom once they leave the nest—investing in details now will help the space evolve with ease. This playful bathroom, designed by Jessica Brigham, features classic white subway tile, elevated with a black pencil trim and bullnose. These finishing pieces create a smooth transition between the tile and the exuberant jungle wallpaper.

7. Stick to a Simple Color Palette

This bright and enchanting bathroom, designed by Zig and Co., sparks joy in both the young and young at heart. With an expressive blue and green floral wallpaper and the whimsical Laura Ashley Mr Jones Midnight floor tile, the space pops with pattern! The key to maintaining order in such an energetic design is a limited color palette; despite the many elements, only three colors—green, blue and white—are in play.

This exuberant bathroom features a blue and white floral patterned floor tile, white subway shower wall tile and green and blue floral patterned wallpaper.
Featuring: Pillow White (tile no longer available; achieve a similar look with Signature Bianco Bevel Gloss), Laura Ashley Mr Jones Midnight, Penny Round Sky Blue and Bianco Puro Threshold. Design & Photography by Zig & Co.

8. Use Marble Subway Tile for Simple Sophistication

This chic, feminine bathroom was designed by Julie Howard for Timber Trails with her teenage daughter in mind. The Hampton Carrara marble subway tile, installed in a brick-lay pattern, elevates the space, while the Black Marquina marble Barnes and Somerset trim pieces* add a timeless elegance. The soft blush-painted walls are sophisticated yet still girlish–perfect for a young lady.

*These tiles are no longer available; achieve a similar look with Signature Black Matte London and Signature Matte Pencil trim.

Florals for spring…groundbreaking, right?! When it comes to tile, thankfully floral designs are perfect year-round. These flourishing patterns can rejuvenate a dreary bathroom, or create a welcoming entryway. Immerse yourself into our collection of fresh florals, and find the right pattern to express your individuality.

Floral-Printed Tile

Prominent or slightly subdued, floral designs have existed in numerous trends throughout the decades. There is something classic about a picture-perfect nature scene that people continue to incorporate in their home and clothing designs over the years.

Notice the beautified shower wall in the bathroom above. The gorgeous flower print on Fabola Blu makes it a perfect accent wall. The tile’s white base allows it to seamlessly unite with the white walls in the bathroom.

Just like florals, glass tiles beautifully add an element of glam to your space. Three of our designer collaborations include blossoming prints to brighten any design.

Annie Selke Collection

Some of our most exciting tiles come from the Annie Selke Art Glass collection. These large-format tiles rejoice with vibrant positive feeling.

 

Laura Ashley Collection

Not every floral patterned tile has to be a bold display of color. Our Laura Ashley glass splash backs make perfect botanical backsplashes year-round. The gorgeous silhouette scene displayed before adds a touch of elegance to this kitchen.

Turn your backsplash into a peaceful meadow view with this blissful glass tile.

 

Ted Baker Collection

The Ted Baker collection stands out with its natural beauty. These tiles can cater to multiple styles with either tropical and oriental floral prints. Ted Baker Tropical offers four luscious patterns in two muted shades of grey. Install Ted Baker Flight of the Orient to incorporate Chinoiserie inspiration. Chinoiserie is the European imitation of Chinese and East Asian decorative styles, arts and nature scenes.

 

Floral-Inspired Patterns

From bold, colorful movement to soft, subtle detailing, these next patterned tiles display a flowerbed of inspiration. Floral-inspired patterns encompass prominent geometric shapes but still have an organic appearance.

The front entrance is the gateway to your home—make the most of your design, and display a lively pattern. The elevating blue tones in Riordan will make any entrance a welcoming one.

While Star Olive/Grey was made for both walls and floor, this tile is the furthest thing from an ordinary wallflower. The geometric pattern displayed on the booth above resembles energetic green flower petals. This boldly designed tile is perfect for making an impact in spaces made for entertaining.

Featured: Lacy Encaustic

“I was inspired by Annie Selke to create this mosaic. It’s all about bringing natural elements together into one tile.” —Brandy Janke, product designer manager


The elegant hexagon shape in our final image below creates a gorgeous, subtle, flower-like pattern. This design is great for coordinating with black and white marble spaces.

Don’t be afraid to incorporate a blossoming design into your home. Floral patterns aren’t just meant for your grandmother’s vintage sofa. Find a soft pattern for you kitchen floor or follow your instincts and cover your kitchen backsplash with a breathtaking scene.
