2. Add Interest by Mixing Finishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To keep a color-drenched space from feeling monotonous, try mixing glossy and matte finishes, as shown in this serene bathroom features Coco Canvas tile<\/a> in both looks. A double band of glossy tile<\/a>\u2014further distinguished by its vertical installation\u2014adds a subtle shine to the elegant design. The handmade-look tile<\/a> introduces delicate variations in tone and surface texture, creating visual complexity while maintaining the monochromatic palette.<\/p>\n\n\n Extending your floor tile up the wall drenches your space in more than just color\u2014it adds visual interest and cohesion. The shape of the tile can create a sense of movement, as seen in this dynamic bathroom featuring Costa Emerald Mix mosaic tile<\/a>. Small picket tiles are fixed to sheets of mesh backing in neat, diagonally offset columns, for a look that resembles vines climbing the wall and spreading across the floor. We love how the white grout accentuates the tiles’ leaf-like shape, but a darker grout could offer a subtler effect.

While it might be tempting to play it safe with neutrals, a bold, brilliant shade\u2014like the Zellige Turquoise tile<\/a> shown here\u2014can make your space feel vibrant. This bright blue will boost your mood, and handmade Zellige tile<\/a> features organic variation from piece to piece, adding richness and depth to your color-drenched space.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Extending your tile design to the ceiling not only completes the trend but also creates the illusion of height\u2014especially in tight spaces like this narrow shower stall. The small squares of the Imperial Blush mosaic tile<\/a> form a gridded pattern reminiscent of \u201980s school showers, but the soft blush hue elevates the space. Explore our vast selection of square tile<\/a> for more retro-inspired looks.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re concerned that color drenching won\u2019t give your eye a place to rest, trim and grout can provide subtle contrast that creates the definition you crave. In this example, the Color Market Lima Da Persia tile<\/a> is paired with white grout and trim. While white isn\u2019t a stark contrast to the yellow, it\u2019s tonally distinct enough to highlight the tile and define each wall. Gray grout with black tile, or beige with pink, can also create a similar effect.

Many patterned tiles use a single hue in varying tones. This chic bathroom features Blu Window Hex tile<\/a>, with a geometric pattern in light and dark blue that adds depth and visual interest. While we love how the white and silver fixtures pop against the blue tile, incorporating blue cabinetry or a matching medicine cabinet would take the look even further.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A touch of contrast can make your color-drenched space truly stand out. This nearly all-black room features Laura Ashley Louise Star Charcoal tile<\/a>, with a small white star pattern that adds a playful touch and keeps the space from feeling too dark. We love how the white towel and flowers subtly echo the pattern. If you\u2019re drawn to this chic color scheme, shop our wide selection of black-and-white tile<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tile lets you maintain a single palette while still expressing yourself through shape and tone. This gorgeous shower pairs Alison Victoria Gem marble tile<\/a> with Marradi Calacatta Emerald marble-look porcelain tile<\/a>. The deep green marble is echoed in the expressive emerald veining of the porcelain tile, while the neat arched white grout lines provide an additional visual throughline. The result is a deeply evocative space that remains tonally consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another way to add interest to a color-drenched space is to choose a field tile with a coordinating mosaic. This beautiful shower pairs the Laura Park Seaside Marble 12″ x 24″ wall tile<\/a> with its matching herringbone mosaic<\/a>. The rich, marble-look porcelain showcases expressive blue tones inspired by Laura Park’s<\/a> original watercolors. The herringbone-patterned floor tile adds traction underfoot and extends onto the built-in shower bench, creating a subtle visual disruption in the monochrome palette.
