One of the ways to add significant style and distinction to the bathroom is by installing tile. You can choose from decorative tiles, mosaic tile designs, custom artisan tiles and many others to infuse character and beauty into your bathroom. Here are beautiful tile ideas to add distinctive style to your bath.

Decorative tile in the bathroom is not only beautiful but it is easy to clean. For a room that is often filled with steam and wet surfaces, tile can be a highly functional surface. Tile is durable and can be easily installed, unless there are intricate patterns involved or tight spaces. For example, if you decide to tile the area around the toilet, this can be a bit more challenging.

The great decorative benefit of tile is that you can use it to trim or accent certain areas. Behind the sink or around the edges of a shower are a few places you may want to have accent tiles. You can install tile in the shower or on a countertop as well.

Tile is a wonderful decorative element for the bathroom. It comes in a variety of materials, colors, sizes, shapes, patterns and textures. The versatility of tile lends itself to a completely custom look for any bathroom.
