Why Porcelain Tiles Are Ideal for Modern Bathrooms

Porcelain bathroom tiles are a perfect fit for modern bathroom design, combining functionality with elegance.

They are perfect for rooms that are used daily and will easily retain their beautiful colours and appearances for longer.

Design Styles for a Modern Bathroom

If you are looking for the latest bathroom tile design trends, our next section will certainly provide inspiration for any project, whether you are designing a small or large bathroom.

Here are some ideas to consider.

Minimalist and monochromatic

Sticking to one colour for your bathroom design, or variations of a specific hue, can deliver fantastic results. Tap into contemporary white bathroom ideas using white tiles, or go for understated elegance with beautiful grey tiles. Atlas Concorde’s Boost Icor collection offers several options for monochrome styles that you could consider.

Industrial-chic with concrete looks

Concrete effect tiles, such as Atlas Concorde’s Boost Expression range, offer concrete and resin effect styles that will give any bathroom design a refreshed, chic look that looks classic and stylish. Contemporary bathroom styles can be brought to life with tiles available in a broad selection of colours and patterns, allowing designers and architects to create perfect spaces that bring their design vision to life.

Spa-inspired with stone effects

To achieve spa-inspired contemporary bathroom ideas, designers often rely on high-quality porcelain stone effect tiles. These materials emulate natural materials, giving any bathroom design a tranquil, relaxing feeling. Atlas Concorde’s Boost Stone collection offers several options offer several classic colour stone effect options to choose from, such as clay, smoke and tarmac.

Sleek marble-effect for a luxurious feel

The luxury look of marble effect tiles makes these material options a firm favourite among designers. They are a classic example of modern bathroom tile design that can be incorporated with several colour hues, such as beautifully brown-veined large format tiles in the Atlas Concorde Marvel Diva range, or classic white tiles, such as those offered in the Marvel Meraviglia collection

Wall and Floor Tile Combinations

Need inspiration for which wall and floor tiles to use for your bathroom project? Several modern bathroom tile ideas can be considered, and they need not be limited to just one tile style. Let’s look at some of the most popular design styles for contemporary bathrooms.

Coordinated or contrasting looks

Creating a cohesive bathroom design look doesn’t mean you are limited to one tile colour. You can for instance use one tile colour for your walls and another for flooring – provided that these colours match one another perfectly. Alternatively, you can also use patterned tiles on your walls and vanity to create visual interest and colour depth. Consider using solid effect tiles as the base of your design colour palette, and add additional tiles that are in perfect harmony with the shade of your choice.

Full-height wall tiling

One of the best contemporary bathroom tile ideas that designers can consider is tiling bathrooms floor to ceiling in one main colour style. Using large format tiles will ensure that the result looks smooth, sleek and polished, thanks to fewer grout lines.

Popular Patterns and Layouts

Modern bathroom tile patterns instantly create personalized looks that are unique to a bathroom’s design. Let’s take a closer look at modern bathroom tile design ideas that top interior designers would always recommend.

Decorative Tiles and Graphic Patterns

Adding graphic patterns, such as hexagon tiles, to a modern bathroom wall design layout enables designers to create fantastic accent wall style results. Graphic patterns can also be used for this purpose, or, alternatively, be used as flooring to match the look of solid colour walls.

Vertical and stacked layouts

Vertical and stacked tiles are ideal for especially smaller bathroom ideas. The reason for this is that they can make a bathroom look bigger or wider, creating a feeling of space and openness. Getting the look is also easy: for instance, use a darker colour for shower or bathroom walls and neatly “stack” your design with flooring in herringbone or other patterns.

Geometric and mosaic accents

Mosaic tiles and geometric designs are fantastic bathroom material options. Whether you are looking for only bright colours, or want something more intricate such as 3D tiles, there is more than enough variety to create a modern, timeless look. Consider matching your geometric or mosaic tiles with solid colour tiles to enhance the look of your vibrant design.
