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. Because the shower niche is a relatively small space, you have a chance to really showcase your style with a patterned or mosaic tile that would be too busy for the entire shower.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/tileshopblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AV_BrickxBrick_ShowerShelf_VerticalDetail_V1-edited-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Pink brick-look tile with mosaic leaf-shaped tile shower niche. \" class=\"wp-image-13529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tileshopblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AV_BrickxBrick_ShowerShelf_VerticalDetail_V1-edited-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/tileshopblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AV_BrickxBrick_ShowerShelf_VerticalDetail_V1-edited-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tileshopblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AV_BrickxBrick_ShowerShelf_VerticalDetail_V1-edited-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tileshopblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AV_BrickxBrick_ShowerShelf_VerticalDetail_V1-edited-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/tileshopblog.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AV_BrickxBrick_ShowerShelf_VerticalDetail_V1-edited-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Featuring: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/products\/brick-x-brick-by-alison-victoria-petal-porcelain-wall-and-floor-tile-2-x-10-in-484078\">Alison Victoria Brick x Brick Petal<\/a>,&nbsp;<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=\">Alison Victoria Elia Polished<\/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=\">Alison Victoria Precious Metals 24 Karat Pencil Trim<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tileshop.com\/samples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"258\" src=\"https:\/\/tileshopblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Samples-1-1000x258.png\" alt=\"It's better in real life.

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.
