Brighten Your Space with Brilliant Jewel Tones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of our favorite bathroom tile ideas for small showers is dazzling jewel-toned tile. Brilliant blues and glimmering greens are a 2025 trend that we predict will be around for years to come. We love how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wadehomeremodeling.com\/\">Wade Home Remodeling<\/a> used the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/look-blu-porcelain-wall-tile-2-x-10-in-484054\">Look Blu tile<\/a> in this shower.

Create a Shower Niche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A great tile shower idea for small bathrooms is a decorative and practical shower niche. We love this niche designed using tile from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/collection\/alison-victoria\">Alison Victoria collection<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/elia-polished-by-alison-victoria-marble-mosaic-wall-and-floor-tile-13-x-14-in-650851?g2=collection&amp;c=alison-victoria&amp;sc=\">Elia Polished marble mosaic<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/alison-victoria-precious-metals-24-karat-pencil-metal-wall-trim-tile-0-4-x-12-in-681823?g2=collection&amp;c=alison-victoria&amp;sc=\">Precious Metals 24 Karat Pencil trim<\/a> create a chic, highly designed look.

Create a Vertical Accent <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An intricate patterned or mosaic tile can easily overwhelm a small shower, but if you love a bold design, you can still incorporate it in small doses. Here, a vertical stripe of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/trois-bandes-porcelain-wall-and-floor-tile-8-x-8-in-681530\">Trois Bandes tile<\/a> creates a striking accent, contrasting the organic texture of the wood-look tile with its vibrant black-and-white pattern.

If you want to add the illusion of height or width, use a subway tile installed vertically (for height) or horizontally (for width).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the best color tile for a small bathroom?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A light-colored tile will make your space feel more open and airy, but if you have a lot of natural light in your bathroom, you can opt for a darker tile. A highly reflective tile, like a glossy jewel-toned tile will add light even if the tile itself is darker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What tile makes a small shower look bigger? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Large-format tiles require fewer grout lines, which will make your space feel more expansive.
