Higher interest in European-style wet rooms may have kicked off the recent surge in floor-to-ceiling tiled walls. Designers and contractors are paying careful attention to international design, which contains an accessible curbless shower entry. A moist room is the very best approach to reach this in the smallest amount of distance, and extending the same tile throughout a smaller area will help make it look bigger while reflecting light.
The appearance ranges in the plainest of white porcelain tiles with white grout to colorful mosaics, from classic Victorian to contemporary. Here are a dozen dramatically different ways to try this savvy move.
Cary Bernstein Architect
Go monochromatic. A 1- by 1-inch tile in a solid color adds texture in a lively, clean-lined and contemporary layout.
John Lum Architecture, Inc.. AIA
Emphasize one accent wall. The huge cream tiles onto this wall support the small-scale green glass mosaic tile.

Pay attention to proportion and split the tile up so. While using the exact same tile all over a bathroom can work, other spaces might require dividing up. In cases like this, the ceiling height is much greater than the breadth, therefore employing a white tile overhead gave this room pleasing proportions. Bonus: With a less expensive tile up high can continue to keep the tile from breaking your budget.

Another way would be to utilize paint and shingles .
Larson Shores Architects
Bring in electricity and color via a vibrant mosaic. Small-scale mosaic tiles energize this bathroom and are a superb waterproof wallpaper alternative.
Take the traditional subway tile and grey grout mix all of the way up the wall. Break it up with fixtures, mirrors, windows and trim; perform off its regularity with a river pebble tile floor.
Alan Design Studio
Match a dressing table to the wall tile’s color, then add contrast via the ground and counter tops. I can’t get enough of this mix of greens with gray and white marble in this elegant bathroom.
Supon Phornirunlit / Naked Decor
Bounce the light around. In a bathroom that receives little or no natural light, light-colored tiles signify it and also make things brighter. Iridescent glass tiles are a good choice for this.
Tip: Think big when you find a significant sale. Covering a wall in tile can run you a lot more than covering it with paint or wallpaper. If this toilet’s designer found the tiles he liked at the Home Depot Expo were more than half, he snapped up enough of them to redesign all three of his bathrooms.

Include the flooring and the ceiling. There is not much breaking up the energetic pattern of this mosaic, which makes this bathroom an urbane jewel box.
Designpad architecture – Patrick Perez Architect
Use similar tiles in different scales. Large tiles distinguish the bathtub and the wall behind it in the sink wall’s little mosaic, while the floor’s tiles are the largest.
Mark Brand Architecture
Use clear glass onto the shower door and a fitting tile in the stall. This extends the tile color and layout and makes the room feel bigger.
Lizette Marie Interior Design
Go vertical. When you’re extending up tile the entire wall, look at turning it sideways and emphasizing height and verticality.
