1. Go All Out With Marble

Nothing exudes opulence like marble. If your space and budget allow, drenching your bathroom in a single stone tile creates a vibrant yet cohesive look that envelops you in luxury. Designed by Nikki Chu, this lush space features Ashford Carrara marble throughout. Rich veining keeps the design visually engaging, even as the marble extends across every surface.

Discover more expressive opulence in our wide selection of marble tile.

2. Pair Grey With White

Featuring purposeful variations in tone and texture, the handmade-look Coco tiles—shown here in glossy White and Amber Grey—lend softness to this simply sleek design. Warm white and grey tones complement each other, while subtle undulation, paired with a stylish herringbone pattern, gives the space a serene sense of movement.

3. Make a Point With Picket Tile

A contemporary twist on subway tile, picket tile resembles its namesake fence style. Neatly stacked, the elongated hexagons create a dynamic mix of straight and diagonal lines.

Its beautiful, undulating grey tones enhance the sense of flow and movement, drawing the eye up and across the space.

4. Use a Stone Look

Luxuriously expressive, stone offers rich visual movement and timeless style. However, this natural material requires regular upkeep. If you love the look but not the maintenance, consider a porcelain or ceramic alternative.

This fashionable contemporary space features Moonstone Grey stone-look tile. The large format tile displays lush movement that mimics the appearance of oversized stone slabs, all in durable, easy-to-maintain porcelain.

Create bold and expansive spaces with large format tile.

5. Add Black Polka Dots

This beautiful shower, designed by Beginning in the Middle, pairs Firenze Carrara hex marble with dots of Black Marquina. By interspersing grey marble hex tiles with the same-size black marble hex tiles, the design achieves a whimsically chic look full of depth and visual interest.

Recreate this playful design using any two (or more) same-size hexagon tiles.

6. Choose a Marble Mosaic

Featuring natural veining and small, intricate pieces, a marble mosaic offers gorgeous movement and a unique design. This stylish shower, designed by Two Chicks & a Hammer, showcases the Altarae Stone with Glass tile. Richly textured grey-veined marble is complemented by sleek glass framing, creating small rectangular pieces that echo the black-framed “windows” in the glass shower walls. The result is a space full of exquisite contrast and striking symmetry.

Featuring Weave Taupe Hex, this @ljinteriorsmn-designed shower mixes warm and cool neutrals for subtle contrast.

Every element in this stylish shower, designed by @design_w_mary, contributes to a vibrant, neutral tableau.

Featuring smooth, rounded flutes, the 12″ x 35″ tile engages the senses as you run your hand along the surface, filling the space with delicate elegance.

Shown here in beautiful Masterstone White, this tile features a contemporary mix of cool and warm neutrals, delivering the beauty of natural marble in durable, easy-to-maintain porcelain.

7. Mix Marble & Marble-Look Tile

The post 15 Great Large Format Bathroom Tile Ideas appeared first on The Tile Shop Blog.

Read on to discover 15 of our top tile design predictions for 2026—timeless looks and ideas that will shape the year ahead and inspire beautiful spaces you’ll love for years to come.

1. Modern Rustic

Characterized by warm, muted neutrals, natural materials and an atmosphere of relaxed refinement, modern rustic design is contemporary and sophisticated, yet still cozy. This style is perfect if you’re looking to update your modern farmhouse home—many of the same principles of approachable earthiness apply, but with fewer literal farmhouse elements.

This wet room, designed by HGTV star Alison Victoria, features a wall of rough-cut stone paired with the opulent Bianco Puro chevron marble mosaic, proving that this rugged style can also be elegant. If you love the warmth of modern farmhouse but are drawn to spaces that are a bit more streamlined, modern rustic is the perfect evolution.

2. Pleated Materials

Soft and romantic, pleats are rippling through the interior design world—offering unique tactile and visual texture in unexpected materials and spaces. This beautiful entryway features Kelli Fontana Tommas Classico marble-look wall tile. The raised, fluted pattern mimics pleats found in fabric, adding dimension and a dynamic quality as the pattern casts shadows in shifting light (you can achieve a similar look using Home Kit-Kat tiles). Kelli Fontana Patina Mirror tiles in Eclipse and Siren also contribute depth to the space.

Explore our exclusive Kelli Fontana designer collection for more of this bold, classic, and whimsical aesthetic.

3. Hand-Painted Motifs

Playful and expressive, painterly patterns have been gaining popularity over the past decade—and we predict they’ll continue to bring beauty and joy to interiors in the coming year. The chic bathroom below captures this trend perfectly with tiles from our exclusive new Laura Park collection.

The Cosmo Aegean Blue porcelain wall and floor tile, adapted from one of Laura Park’s signature wallpaper prints, brings artistic flair to the room’s floor with its hand-painted-look floral pattern and expressive brushstrokes. Soft blue tones flow seamlessly into the Seaside Marble wall tiles and coordinating shower floor mosaic, creating a serene, cohesive space full of color and charm.

Explore our wide selection of patterned tiles to discover more hand-painted motifs to suit your style.

4. Modern Organic

Much like rustic modern design (featured at #1 on this list), modern organic design celebrates natural materials and earthy tones—but with a more curated, minimalist sensibility. This style balances warmth and simplicity, pairing clean lines with organic texture and pattern for a look that feels effortlessly sophisticated.

In this serene patio, the Nikki Chu Tangier Pumice tile captures that balance beautifully. Its hand-drawn geometric motif introduces subtle movement and contemporary structure, while the soft, neutral palette grounds the space in nature. The result is a harmonious blend of modern polish and organic ease.

Explore our exclusive Nikki Chu designer collection for more organic patterns and contemporary neutral palettes.

5. Rich, Earth-Toned Neutrals

Say goodbye to millennial grey! The trend toward beige, warm white, earthy greens and muted blues will continue into the new year. Far from boring, these rich neutrals offer complexity and a connection to nature, creating deeply expressive spaces that move away from the starker, more industrial feel of the cool tones that defined much of the early 2000s.

This sumptuous space showcases Nuovo Riad wall tile in Bianco and Creme, installed in a chic checkerboard—another popular trend we expect to see more of in 2026. The warm browns and blacks in the Terrazzo Bianco Micro floor tile (this tile is no longer available; achieve a similar look with Terrazzo Bianco Macro tile)–which pops up again in trend #15 on this lis–adds even more visual texture.

6. Berry Hues

Warm mahogany, deep purple and dark cherry red have already been named colors of the year by some of the top paint brands—and we predict these rich berry hues will continue to grace spaces for years to come. This retro-inspired bathroom, designed by @johnmartinestudio, features Imperial Sienna gloss square mosaic tile (this tile is no longer available; achieve a similar look with Imperial Red Gloss). The deep red hue is balanced by the warm light wood vanity and off-white walls.

7. Raised Wood Patterns

Compatible with several contemporary and traditional styles—such as modern rustic, modern organic, Japandi and biophilic design—raised wood patterns have been growing in popularity for years, and we predict they will appear in even more spaces in the year to come. Featuring a range of designs—like the geometric cross shape in the Tavola Decor tile shown here—these tiles create a sensory experience with natural appeal. Explore our wide selection of wood-look tile for more unique motifs.

8. Color and Material Drenching

Color drenching—the process of bathing a room, including doors, ceilings and trim, in a single color—will continue to be popular in 2026. For the bold, this trend extends to materials as well as color. Saturating an entire room in a single hue—or even a single tile—adds depth and can make your space feel larger. Here, Costa Emerald Mix mosaic tile covers the walls and floors with rich green tones. We love how the band of gold metal trim breaks up the design—small details like this add visual interest to a monochromatic space.

9. Sustainable Materials

Sustainability is always in fashion, and in the years ahead, the focus on recycled, natural and environmentally friendly materials will continue to shape home design. Featuring a durable eucalyptus core and a real wood veneer, our Corlee engineered hardwood collection offers natural beauty along with exceptional durability, easy installation and a lower impact on our forests.

Explore our wide selection of engineered hardwood in a variety of light and dark finishes to suit any style.

10. Terracotta Revival

Rustic and warm, terracotta and terracotta-look tile are a natural fit for many contemporary design styles gaining prominence in the coming year. Evoking a chic Southwest aesthetic, this rust-colored tile instantly brightens a space with rich, complex tones. This stylish room, designed by @northstardesign.co, features Kasbah Star and Cross Terracotta tiles. Their handmade look and Moroccan-inspired design add depth and interest to the modern rustic space.

11. Handmade Ceramics

Our preference for handcrafted designs and authentic materials will continue into the new year, with a particular appetite for handmade ceramics throughout the home. Fully embrace this trend with our Zellige collection tile—each piece crafted, painted and glazed by hand using centuries-old techniques. Here, the Zellige Shamrock and White Gloss petite subway tiles demonstrate that historic design and expert craftsmanship can be used to create stunning contemporary spaces.

12. Art Deco Designs

Curves, geometric patterns and mixed materials—the defining style of the 1920s—is making a roaring comeback in the 2020s. If you think this decadent, carefree style is the bee’s knees, explore our wide assortment of waterjet mosaics, many of which feature mixed materials in flapper-era patterns—like the Christie Volkas tile shown here.

13. Grout as a Design Element

Essential to any tile design, grout color can dramatically affect the look of a space. Choosing a contrasting or complementary color determines how much you highlight your tile layout. While high-contrast grout creates drama and depth, low-contrast grout offers a subtler, more organic effect. Here, white subway tile is installed using Whisper Grey grout for a softer look.

14. Unique Shapes

Creating interest through lines that offer dynamic movement, uniquely shaped tile will create distinct spaces in the coming year. From charming leaf motifs to unconventional scallops—like the Alison Victoria Malibu Edit Pointe Dume tile shown here—these exceptional silhouettes infuse spaces with character and unparalleled allure.

Explore our wide selection of uniquely shaped tile for more extraordinary designs. 👉

15. Terrazzo-Look Porcelains

Mimicking the look of authentic terrazzo tile—a composite material containing flecks of stone, glass and marble—these tiles offer beautiful visual texture and superior durability. This warm, contemporary space, designed by @craftandtheory, features the Terrazzo Bianco Micro tile (this tile is no longer available; achieve a similar look with Terrazzo Bianco Macro tile). Its earthy tones and organic texture work well with a variety of styles trending in 2026. Shop Terrazzo porcelain tile in all four colorways: Bianco Macro, Azzurro, Nero Macro, and Nero Micro.

Whether you embrace these tile trends or create one of your own, there’s one 2026 prediction that’s guaranteed to come true: a new year will bring even more projects to admire and ideas that inspire.

Speaking of inspiration, our biggest source of inspiration, year after year, is our customers. Be sure to share your project photos by tagging @thetileshop on Instagram or uploading them to our Customer Room Gallery—we can’t wait to see what you create next.

1. Express Your Artistic Side With Laura Park Tile

Inspired by her abstract artwork and the popular textiles derived from her mixed-media designs, our new and exclusive Laura Park tile collection showcases a stunning array of colors, styles, and motifs—offering endless possibilities for creative expression. This elegantly dynamic bathroom features four Laura Park tiles in coordinating colors and patterns: the Cosmo Aegean Blue patterned tile, Seaside Marble porcelain tile, and Bespoke White in both 5 in. and 2.56 x 5 in. sizes. A simple, warm wood vanity anchors the space, adding a touch of traditional sophistication to this artful design.

Love this look? Explore the full The Tile Shop x Laura Park collection.

2. Make It Sleek and Boho Chic!

Worldly and eclectic, modern boho chic design is all about celebrating your unique taste. Here, designer Brooke Pavel showcases a more muted—yet still vibrant—interpretation of this globally inspired style. By pairing a Picket Florencia Super Bianco tile backsplash with a light wood vanity and a blush pouf seat, Pavel strikes a delicate balance between the soft color palette and the bold geometry of the elongated hex tile and wood-carved diamond design.

3. Create Contrast

This chic transitional bathroom, designed by @emerson.studios, is a prime example of how to create harmonious contrast. The vanity, with its fine woodgrain detail, is paired with diamond-shaped, dove-grey Chalk Silver RMB porcelain floor tile (this tile is no longer available; achieve a similar look with Diamond City Grey tile). The tile’s soft, cool coloring, leather-like texture and geometric pattern beautifully offset the vanity’s warm, hard, organic character. This contrast extends to other design elements as well—note how the black, modern hardware plays against the traditional brass fixtures.

4. Add Elegance With a Marble Mosaic

Delicate shapes crafted from exquisite stone bring a sense of exceptional elegance to any space. For a timeless traditional look, pair a marble mosaic backsplash with a stately wood vanity. This stunning bathroom features the Bisbane Brookfield diamond-shaped mosaic, which mimics the look of tufted upholstery. The refined design beautifully complements the dark wood vanity and classic fixtures.

If you love this elevated aesthetic, explore our wide selection of marble mosaic tile.

5. Bring Beautiful Blues

Cool-toned blues evoke the brilliance of the sea and sky, making them a natural complement to a warm, earth-toned wood vanity. Designed by @bellsheepstudio, this tasteful transitional bathroom features Imperial Slate Blue square mosaic tile (this tile is no longer available; achieve a similar look with Imperial Denim gloss tile). We love how the subdued blue tones are echoed in the chevron-patterned wallpaper and bath towels, while the creamy white wainscoting introduces another layer of warmth to the space.

6. Pair Patterns

A wood vanity provides a neutral anchor, giving the eye a place to rest and allowing creativity to shine throughout the rest of the space. Pairing two patterned tiles—or combining a patterned floor tile with wallpaper, as @andreak_covelladesigns does in this bold, elegant space—can make your room feel vibrant and full of life. The key to successfully mixing patterns is to create a visual throughline while maintaining clear distinction. Though aesthetically different, the black-and-white stone-look pattern of the Marble Star floor tile echoes not only the tones in the floral wallpaper but also its antique charm. Not quite ready to commit to mixed patterns in your primary bath? Try it in a powder room, where experimentation is less conspicuous.

7. Add Historic Details With Morris & Co. Tile

Inspired by the iconic British designer’s historic wallpaper motifs—which have adorned the walls of palaces and estates across England since the late 1800s—our exclusive Morris & Co. collection brings William Morris’s dedication to beautiful, accessible design to tile. Featuring ornate patterns in soft, neutral palettes—like the St. James Farrington Grey wall tile shown here—these sophisticated designs pair effortlessly with warm beige, grey or dark wood vanities.

8. Choose Moroccan-Inspired Artisanal Appeal

This stylish bathroom is another great example of contrasting design elements. It features Kasbah Star and Cross Terracotta tiles—drawn from traditional handmade Moroccan tilework—paired with a sleek, contemporary floating vanity. Though the tile and vanity reflect distinct styles, the warm wood and terracotta tones create a cohesive visual link between them. A curved doorway cut into the cool grey wall introduces tonal contrast, yet the modern color ties it to the vanity, while the arched shape nods to classic Moroccan architecture.

9. Create a Modern Farmhouse Haven

Refined rustic details make this space a perfect example of modern farmhouse design. The luxurious dark wood vanity perfectly matches the trim and wainscoting, while the marble countertop complements the Firenze Carrara Hex floor tile. These refined details are beautifully juxtaposed with exposed brick.

10. Select Sleek & Serene Stone-Look Tile

Stone and wood—two natural textures that go together like peanut butter and jelly. Whether warm tones, cool tones, or a mix of both, pairing fine woodgrain details with the delicate or dramatic veining of stone-look tile creates a space that soothes the senses. Here, the subtly veined Moonstone Off-White tile offers the organic beauty of stone in the form of durable, easy-to-maintain porcelain. If you look closely, you’ll see the tile’s horizontally oriented linear pattern flows perfectly with the vanity’s woodgrain.

11. Create Natural Tranquility With Biophilic Design

Defined by its use of colors, forms, and materials found in nature, biophilic design brings the outdoors inside, creating lush, serotonin-inducing spaces. Here, a wood vanity is paired with the gorgeous Look Oliva subway tile. The rich green hue and natural wood evoke a soothing forestscape, while the delicate floral motif of the Laura Ashley Wexbord Fresh Green shower niche adds a touch of whimsy.

MORE TO EXPLORE | Tile for Every Style: Biophilic Design

12. Add Rustic Appeal With Tumbled Stone

This classic finish is created by tumbling stone with rocks to create a worn, rustic look—perfectly showcased in the Claros Silver tumbled travertine floor tile featured in this charming Coco & Jack-designed powder room. With natural shades of rich brown, beige, and grey, this stone subway tile adds an organic, brick-like texture that pairs beautifully with the dark wood vanity. We also love how the gold fixtures introduce an elegant contrast to these rugged elements.

13. Create a Custom Subway Tile Layout

1. Select the Best Bathroom Tile Floor Material

With so many options for man-made tile (including luxury vinyl flooring) and natural stone—selecting the right material often depends on your desired look, your overall project budget, and your preferred level of maintenance. Here are some of the benefits of our most popular bathroom floor materials.

Man-Made:

Man-made materials include clay, vinyl, cement, glass and any other material that is not naturally occurring. In this section, we’ll discuss our most popular man-made materials for bathroom floors: porcelain, ceramic and luxury vinyl flooring.

Porcelain & Ceramic

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made of clay that has been glazed and fired in a kiln. While porcelain tile, made from a stronger clay and fired at a higher temperature, is slightly more durable, both porcelain and ceramic floor tiles are robust enough to withstand typical bathroom traffic. In addition to being waterproof, these tiles are scratch- and stain-resistant, making them an excellent choice for bathroom floors. Available in a wide variety of shapes, patterns and finishes you can find porcelain and ceramic tiles to complement virtually any design. These tiles can even mimic the appearance of other materials; wood-look or marble-look tiles offer natural beauty with superior durability and easy maintenance.

Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Waterproof, scratch- and stain-resistant luxury vinyl flooring offers the timeless appearance of natural wood and stone with unparalleled durability and hassle-free maintenance. With an affordable price point (styles start at just $1.79 per sq. ft.) and easy installation, luxury vinyl is a great option for budget-conscious or DIY projects. Plus, since all luxury vinyl styles are compatible with in-floor heat, you can create a space that looks and feels extravagant.

Note: Vinyl is a waterproof material; however, standing water can seep through the seams of your luxury vinyl planks and tiles. Ensure proper installation and promptly clean large spills to help prevent damage to the subfloor beneath. Not recommended for use in showers or wet rooms.

Pro Tip: DIY with confidence using our How to Install Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring guide.

Natural Stone:

Unlike porcelain and ceramic tiles, stone is mined from the earth in large pieces and then cut into individual tiles, revealing inherently unique variations in color and veining. The Tile Shop’s stone collections include field tiles as well as coordinating mosaic and trim pieces, making them an excellent choice for a luxurious whole-bathroom remodel.

At The Tile Shop, you can find natural limestone, quartzite, slate and granite tiles, but here we’ll focus on our two most popular stones for bathrooms: marble and travertine.

These tiles are available in four distinct finishes:

Tumbled: A rough, textured look created by tumbling the stone with rocks.

Brushed: A textured look is achieved by combing the stone with a wire brush.

Honed: A smooth, matte finish.

Polished: A smooth, shiny finish with a sleek surface.

Marble

When choosing marble tile, the main considerations are color, finish, and shape. Available in a wide variety of colors–white, beige, and even green and black–marble floor tile can achieve virtually any aesthetic. Whether you like a rough, textured appearance or a smooth matte finish will determine whether you choose tumbled, brushed or honed marble. Polished marble tends to be slippery when wet, so if you prefer this shiny finish, consider a marble mosaic tile, which provides more grout joints for greater traction.

Pro Tip: Regularly treat your marble tile with made-in-U.S.A. Superior Enhancers and Sealers to keep it looking new.

Travertine

A type of limestone characterized by its formation in natural springs, travertine features rich veining and color variation, with shades ranging from brilliant silver to warm beige to black. Available in the same four finishes as marble, travertine tile has seen a resurgence in recent years thanks to its warm, earthy tones.

Pro Tip: Stretch your bathroom budget by pairing a natural stone floor with a stone-look porcelain or ceramic wall tile.

2. Select the Best Style of Flooring for Your Bathroom

Both man-made and natural stone tiles are available in a wide range of styles. From hexagons and penny rounds to checkerboards–when it comes to design, there’s no wrong choice. Virtually any floor tile will meet the functional requirements of your bathroom. Ultimately, it comes down to your individual taste. Here are some of our most popular styles to consider.

Large-Format Tile

Since it requires fewer grout lines, large-format tile makes any space feel more cohesive and expansive. Defined as any tile with one side greater than 15″, large-format floor tiles are available in styles up to 48″ x 48″. The majority of these tiles are porcelain, as the strength of this material reduces the risk of cracks and breakage, ensuring smoother installation and superior durability. Cement and stone looks are especially popular in this format, as the large tiles create the appearance of a single, seamless slab.

Patterned Tile

Delicate florals, abstract shapes and textile-influenced designs are all represented in our wide selection of patterned tile. Whether bold or subtle, a pattern can reflect your personality and set the tone for your space. Explore our patterned tile collection to discover the perfect tile for your style. 

Pro Tip: “If there’s a tile that stands out to you but you’re having second thoughts because it may be too bold or too colorful, a powder bath is the perfect place to experiment.” – Nikki Chu, Celebrity Designer

Clockwise: 1. Featuring: Nikki Chu Zulu Graphite. 2. Featuring: Tribeca Gypsum White and Jeffrey Alan Marks Summerland Miramar. 3. Featuring: Imperial Bianco Bevel Gloss, Laura Ashely Leaf Cloud Blue and Laura Ashley Sunflower Charcoal with Cloud Blue.

Mosaic Tile

Besides offering beautifully intricate designs, the small pieces that make up each sheet of mosaic tile feature more grout joints per square foot, which adds traction to your floors. This makes mosaics perfect for wetrooms, showers and primary bathroom floors. While more grout joints require more cleaning and regular sealing, the results are stunning.

Mounted on mesh sheets for easy installation, this highly versatile tile is available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, materials and styles. Some mosaics, like penny rounds and small hexagons, allow for custom designs by mixing colors in the same size and shape. When you select marble or travertine mosaics from The Tile Shop’s natural stone collections, you can choose from a variety of matching field tiles and trim to complete your bathroom design.

Pro Tip: Achieve a highly designed look by using your bathroom floor mosaic to create matching accents, such as a sink backsplash or shower niche.

Subway Tile

Sleek, chic and highly versatile, subway tile consistently ranks as one of our most popular tile styles. While commonly used on walls, subway tile is just as stylish on bathroom floors. The wide range of colors, materials (stone and man-made) and sizes (from petite 2″ x 6″ to long, skinny 4″ x 24″) make this tile compatible with virtually any contemporary or traditional design style. Its versatile rectangular shape can be installed in a variety of layouts, such as brick-lay, straight stack or herringbone. Check out this guide to subway tile layouts for more ideas.

Zellige Tile

Handcrafted by artisans using centuries-old techniques, Zellige tile is renowned for its authentic character and perfectly imperfect appearance. Available in petite subway, square and mosaic styles, the Star and Cross shapes are the most popular floor designs. These unique shapes reflect traditional Moroccan design and can be installed in alternating glossy and matte finishes to create subtle interest.

Note: part of Zellige tile’s handmade appeal lies in the slight variations in size, thickness and surface texture from tile to tile.

Pro Tip: For a slightly more uniform (and budget-friendly) floor tile, try the handmade-look Kasbah Cross and Star tiles.

Clockwise: 1. Featuring: Zellige Alabaster Gloss, Zellige Charcoal Chabone Cross Gloss and Zellige Charcoal Chabone Star Matte. 2. Featuring: Arabian Pisa Oro Matte, Kasbah Cross Terracotta, Kasbah Star Bone, Coco White Matte and Coco Canvas Matte. 3. Featuring: Kasbah Cross Terracotta and Kasbah Star Terracotta.

3. The Best-to-Clean Bathroom Flooring

Whether cleaning the bathroom is a chore you love or dread, chances are you want it to go as smoothly and effortlessly as possible. Easy to clean, stain resistant and waterproof, tile is perfect for bathroom floors. Whatever style or material you choose, a good broom and a mop will be enough for daily cleaning. However, you’ll occasionally want to do a deeper clean to address build-up in your grout joints. Large-format tile has the fewest grout joints, while mosaics have the most. Natural stone will also require extra maintenance, including regular sealing and special cleaning.

Pro Tip: A dark-colored grout will hide the appearance of dirt.
