Traditional Star & Cross Pattern

Inspired by traditional Moroccan tile design, the Kasbah tiles (shown here in Cross Terracotta and Star Bone) offer the perfectly imperfect charm of authentic handmade tiles, with a bit more consistency—and at a more affordable price point—than the real thing. Using two colors creates a fresh take on a checkerboard pattern, but if you like a uniform look, use a single colorway. For a truly traditional design, opt for handmade Zellige tiles and consider mixing glossy and matte finishes for a subtle yet distinctive effect.

Extend the Floor Up the Wall

Why confine your favorite tile to the floor? Extending it halfway up the wall creates a wainscoting effect that both protects your surfaces and gives your space a more elevated, designer look. Here, the Nikki Chu Zulu Graphite floor tile is carried onto the wall just past the vanity, providing a stylish backsplash. If you love this fashion-forward pattern, explore our exclusive Nikki Chu designer collection.

Large-Format Herringbone

A herringbone pattern brings lovely movement to a space, while large-format tile can make the floor feel wider. In this luxurious bathroom designed by Timber Trails, Siberian Pearl marble creates an elegant, expansive look. Explore our extensive selection of large-format tile for styles that add continuity and a sense of spaciousness to your bathroom.

Expressive Encaustic

Cement encaustic tiles will weather with age creating a natural patina to your tile. The Arwen tile shown here features a green leaf pattern on a black background for a wonderfully moody bathroom floor. Explore all the colors and patterns available in cement tiles for a look that expresses your personality.

Durable Wood-Look

Rustic and organic, wood looks complement a wide variety of design styles. While real wood can trap bacteria (not the ideal material for a bathroom), wood-look porcelain tile is easy to clean and maintain.

Black and White Floral Design

Black and white needn't be boring as is evident with this chic color-free bathroom. We like how the Hex Matte Black and White Flower tile complements the larger hexagon wall tile, but this flooring is versatile enough to pair with virtually any colored tile.

Custom Cross Pattern

We're in love with this custom black-and-white-cross floor pattern designed by I SPY DIY. The Cross Snow White tile adds visual interest to the Cross Black tile floor, which keeps it from fading into the background. The Cross tile comes in a variety of colors for you to create your own pattern or use the Cross Black and White Combo for a primary white tile floor.

Based on traditional Moroccan-style tiles, the Kasbah Star and Cross Terracotta tiles will add an artisanal look to your bathroom floor. These tiles feature an undulating surface and a warm orange color that will create a calming, spa-like atmosphere in your space. For added interest, try mixing the Terracotta tiles with the Kasbah Bone.

Bold Mid-Century Modern Patterns

Geometric patterns and clean lines are everything we love about vintage mid-century modern style. This bathroom, designed by Kate Pierce Vintage, features the Artisan Tiare floor tile. The bold orange and black patterned porcelain tile is balanced out by the white walls and simple decor, for a charming, classic design.

Travertine

Available in tones from warm brown to silver, travertine floor tile is characterized by the natural veining and variance in tone created by natural mineral springs. Travertine tile, like the Claros Silver Honed Hex shown here, will add visual texture to your bathroom design, whether you decide to extend its use to your walls or choose a marble-look tile like the Atlanta White tile in this bathroom designed by Kelli Fontana Vogelgesang.

Extend the Floor Up the Tub

The Laura Ashley Sunflower Charcoal with Cloud Blue is continued up the tub to create the illusion of a wider floor space. Like this charming and whimsical English cottage style? Shop our exclusive Laura Ashley collection for more designs inspired by the iconic British brand.

Niles Patterned Mosaic

Elegant and classy, a Niles patterned mosaic tile, like the Meram Blanc Carrara Niles with Grey tile shown here, is a timeless classic. Many of our marble collections include this basket-weave patterned tile, making this a great pairing for marble wall tile.

Matching the Trim and Threshold

Don't forget about your trim! A shower threshold and trim tile, like the Hampton Carrara Shower Curb and Ashford Carrara Skirting shown here, is the finishing touch you need for an expertly designed bathroom. These trim pieces are made in marble to match the Ashford Carrara Hex floor tile, giving this space beautiful cohesion.

Pair Real Marble With Marble-Look Tile

Stretch your budget by pairing marble floor tile with marble-look wall tile (or vice-versa). This luxurious bathroom designed by Nikki Chu uses the Macchia Vecchia porcelain as the wall tile and the Calacata Evora Honed marble for the floor tile. The marble floor tiles give this bathroom authentic luxury, but the marble-look tiles are easier to maintain.

Geometric Patterns

Make your floor pop with a bold geometric patterned tile. Straight lines and bold shapes add interest and an element of fun to your floors. The Rango Taupe Matte shown here is a good example of how a simple lined design can enliven a space.

Pretty Pink Blossoms

We love the versatility of the Imperial Hexagon tiles, like the Sierra Gloss Hex and the Pink Gloss Hex tile shown here. These ceramic tiles come on a mesh backing for easy installation, but the tiles can be removed for a customizable pattern like this charmingly whimsical flower blossom pattern designed by The Gold Hive.

Ink Blots

The Blot Noon tile uses drip ink techniques to create a subtle but stunning design in the center of these hexagon tiles. The effect is a versatile tile that can be used to complement a variety of design styles. We love how this tile looks paired with the Bulevar Grey shower wall tile, but a brightly colored tile or black tile would look equally chic.

Marble Herringbone

This stunning herringbone patterned floor uses the 4" x 12" Victoria Grey Dark tile to create a beautiful sense of movement. We love the gorgeous natural tones of grey in this tile, but any marble subway tile can be used to achieve this chic design.

Elegant Waterjet Mosaic Tile

Make your floors a work of art with an elegant and intricate waterjet mosaic tile. These exclusive tiles feature delicate designs in marble, often using mother of pearl, glass or metals to create a beautiful mix of materials. The Vivien Grey Stone tile shown here features a statement-making stone circular pattern on a soft white marble background.

Industrial Cement-Look Tile

You don't need a downtown loft to embrace the city chic of industrial design. This fabulous bathroom designed by Kelli Fontana Vogelgesang of West Bay Homes features the sleek Softcement Graphite tile. This cement-look porcelain floor tile completes the cool urban aesthetic.

Black-and-White Patterns

A simple black-and-white floor tile can allow for color used on the walls or bathroom vanity to really pop. We love how the Cloth Black and White patterned tile adds interest to this room without detracting from the bright yellow vanity and butterfly wallpaper.

Classy Checkerboard

Checkerboard patterns are a winning design that's only becoming more popular. While the classic black-and-white tile design, like this Hampton Carrara and Black Marquina tile floor, is always in style, we've seen checkerboards using all colors and even patterned checkerboards. If this look is your checkmate, shop our full selection of square tiles to find more ideas.
