Don\u2019t let limited square footage diminish your bathroom\u2019s comfort or appeal. Whether you\u2019re working with a tiny powder room or a cramped primary bath, the right tile design can create the illusion of added height and width. Read on for 10 small-space tile tips that will make your bathroom look bigger and feel more luxurious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Create the Illusion of Height With a Vertical Stripe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This tried-and-true design trick is one of the easiest ways to add a sense of height to your space. Whether you install subway tile<\/a> in a vertical straight stack or a band of patterned tile–as shown in this chic shower–vertically oriented tile draws the eye upward, making the space appear taller. The Trois Bandes tile<\/a> features a pointed diamond pattern that guides the eye along the length of the tile. We love how it\u2019s paired with the Nordic Brown tile<\/a>; the natural wood detail adds movement and expansiveness, helping the space feel both wide and tall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Add a Sense of Width With Horizontal Stripes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just as vertical stripes add height by drawing the eye upward, horizontal stripes create the illusion of width by guiding the eye across your space. Horizontally stacked subway tile is one of the most effective ways to achieve this look. You can enhance the sense of expansiveness by alternating two or more colors or finishes\u2014like the glossy and matte Coco White tile<\/a> stripes shown on this bathroom wall. Discover more design inspiration in our guide to classic subway tile layouts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Tile the Tub Apron<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your tub takes up much of the bathroom real estate, you can help disguise its bulk by tiling the apron to match the surround. This elegant bathroom, designed by A Glass of Bovino<\/a>, creates a sense of continuity with Firenze Carrara tile<\/a> on both the tub and surround. The marble tile\u2019s bold veining adds a sense of movement, enhancing the feeling of expansiveness. You can achieve a similar effect by extending your floor tile onto the tub apron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Make a Statement Wall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only is it an opportunity to highlight a favorite tile, a statement wall can also make a room feel larger by creating visual distinction. In this small shower, the geometric-patterned Nikki Chu Zulu Cement tile<\/a> delivers bold style. Its multi-directional design offers a range of layout possibilities\u2014here, the zigzag pattern guides the eye both horizontally and vertically, adding a sense of height and width. The warm grey tones are echoed in the veining of the Nikki Chu Mrembo polished marble-look wall tile<\/a>, maintaining tonal cohesion while allowing the patterned tile to remain the focal point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love this eclectic, fashion-forward aesthetic, explore our exclusive Nikki Chu collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Tile the Ceiling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another way to disguise low ceilings is by extending your tile overhead. Here, designer Coco & Jack<\/a> take handmade-look subway tile<\/a> to the ceiling, helping this compact shower feel more spacious. The slight tonal and textural variations from piece to piece add subtle interest, making the small space feel even more luxurious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Create Cohesion With Large Format Tile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest home decor trends, large format tile<\/a> requires fewer grout lines, helping spaces feel more cohesive and expansive. Any tile with a side longer than 23″ is generally considered large format, and The Tile Shop offers styles up to 48″ x 48″. This beautiful bathroom features the Livingstone Melange marble-look tile<\/a>, with the floor tile extending halfway up the wall, adding even more breadth to the design. The marble-look tile’s<\/a> contemporary mix of warm beige and cool grey veining, paired with the elegantly textured handmade-look subway tile, gives the space an air of quiet luxury<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Maximize With Mosaic Tile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just as the cohesion of large format tile can make a space feel more expansive, mosaic tile\u2014with its many small pieces\u2014can make it feel larger by adding visual interest. The pieces of KitKat White tile<\/a> resemble the thin rectangular shape of its namesake candy. Neatly stacked, as they are in this Japandi-style<\/strong><\/a> bathroom, they draw the eye both upward and across the wall, creating a sense of spaciousness even in a compact area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Create a Sense of Movement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though tile is a fixed element, there are ways to introduce a sense of movement into your design. The zigzag layout of herringbone<\/a> or chevron-patterned tile<\/a> naturally guides the eye across the space, tricking your senses into perceiving it as larger than it is. This lovely transitional bathroom, designed by Timber Trails<\/a>, uses both patterns: large-format Siberian Pearl floor tile<\/a> installed in a herringbone layout and Bianco Puro chevron mosaic wall tile<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

9. Add Interest With a Checkerboard Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might have picked up on a theme\u2014a great way to make a small space feel larger is to maintain continuity while adding visual interest. A checkerboard pattern\u2014with its predictable yet varied layout\u2014does both. While this design is often associated with classic black and white, there are many stylish variations. You can pair a muted and a bright-colored tile, a pattern with a solid color, two versions of the same pattern in different tones, two complementary stone tiles, or even add a third color for a buffalo check effect. Here, the Antique Aurea tile in Nero Trastevere<\/a> and Bianco Navona<\/a> draws the eye across the floor, helping the room\u2019s footprint feel larger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shop our wide selection of checkerboard pairings<\/a> to find a winning design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Maintain Consistency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Too much variation in a small space can quickly become overwhelming. Using different sizes and shapes of the same material\u2014like those found in our natural stone collections\u2014lets you add visual interest while maintaining a cohesive look. This elegant bathroom features Volkas marble<\/a> in a variety of formats, from the exquisite leaf-shaped Alison Victoria Elia mosaic tile<\/a> to the refined finishing touch of the Volkas Somerset trim<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
