Bathroom Tiles

Start with the way you want the room to feel, then work through where each tile will be used. A bathroom floor has different requirements from a feature wall, shower wall or vanity splashback, even when the surfaces share the same colour.

Plan the floor and walls together

Bathroom floor tiles need to suit the location, expected foot traffic and level of moisture. Check the intended application and slip information for every product before ordering. Wall tiles give you more freedom to explore gloss, texture, handmade finishes and decorative shapes.

Using one tile across the floor and walls can create a calm, continuous result. Pairing a quieter base tile with a mosaic, subway tile or patterned feature can bring more rhythm and detail.

Large bathroom tiles, mosaics and subway tiles

Large format bathroom tiles reduce the number of grout lines and can give both small and generous rooms a more open feeling. The final format should still work with the room's falls, cuts and proportions.

Mosaic tiles bring detail to niches, splashbacks and selected shower floors when the product is approved for that use. Subway tiles create a clear rhythm and can be laid in brick bond, vertical stack or herringbone.

Porcelain, terrazzo and natural stone

Porcelain bathroom tiles are durable and available in stone look, concrete look and softly textured finishes. Terrazzo tiles introduce movement through colour and aggregate.

Marble, travertine and limestone bring natural variation that makes every installation distinct. These materials may need sealing and specific care, so read the product guidance and speak with your installer before making the final selection.

Choose colour in the room itself

Green bathroom tiles can feel grounded and restorative. White tiles bring light and clarity, while warmer neutrals sit comfortably with timber, brushed metals and natural stone. Compare samples in morning and evening light before deciding.

Begin with samples

Place your shortlist beside cabinetry, paint, tapware and benchtops. The right tile should feel at ease with every material already in the room.

Which tiles are best for bathroom floors?
The best choice depends on the location and the product specification. Porcelain is a durable, low maintenance option for many bathrooms. Natural stone can also be used when the individual tile is approved for the application and the sealing and care requirements are understood.

Can I use the same tiles on bathroom walls and floors?
Sometimes. A floor tile can often be used on a wall, but a wall tile may not be suitable for a floor. Check the intended application for each product. Using one approved tile across both surfaces can create a calm, continuous result.

What tile size works best in a small bathroom?
There is no single correct size. Large format tiles can reduce grout lines and make the room feel more continuous. Smaller mosaics can help with detail and selected floor falls. The room's proportions and layout should guide the decision.

Are terrazzo tiles suitable for bathrooms?
Some terrazzo and terrazzo look tiles are suitable for bathroom walls and floors. Check the product specification, slip information and sealing requirements before ordering.

What is the difference between mosaic and subway tiles?
Mosaics are made from smaller pieces and bring fine detail, texture and additional grout lines. Subway tiles are rectangular and create a more structured rhythm. Both work well on bathroom walls, niches and splashbacks when approved for the application.

Can I order samples of bathroom tiles?
Yes. Samples are the best way to compare colour, finish and texture beside your cabinetry, tapware, benchtops and natural light before ordering the full quantity.
