It’s simple arithmetic. One thing, plus another, equals something else – a universal rule that can be applied to everything, including the tricky process of choosing bathroom tiles. While uniformity can be tempting, there’s a whole world of benefits that open up when you combine two types of tiles together. For example, this bathroom by Three Birds Renovations uses large Tile Cloud ‘Rose Bay’ Carrara-look tiles on the floor and most walls to give the illusion of increased size by decreasing the amount of ‘busyness’ in the room. Meanwhile, a feature wall of ‘Broadwater’ penny round mosaic tiles, also by Tile Cloud, adds an exciting tactile touch. It really is as simple as finding that perfect pairing. Here, we’ve collected some of the most gorgeous combinations of tiles to suit all types of bathrooms so that you don’t have to do the maths yourself.
Whimsical walls
Designer Dina Bandman Goldstone from Dina Bandman Interiors in California, wanted to infuse plenty of playfulness in this children’s bathroom. The hand-cut mosaic, which features a colourful motif of llamas and foxes, is endearingly whimsical and strikingly stylish. “The pattern brings movement to this small space and introduces a really fun element,” shares Dina. While the mosaic is the hero of the room, it’s the lower part of the wall, decked out in traditional white ‘Thassos’ subway tiles from Da Vinci Marble that grounds the design. “There is something about juxtaposing quiet with bold,” says Dina. Crisp red ticking stripes from Sonoma Tilemakers ties in with colourful accents seen elsewhere in the room.
