These fabulous bathrooms show just what an impact floor tiles can make on the entire space. And if you had your heart set on using colour in your next bathroom, these lovelies might just change your mind.
Scattered effect. The bath takes centrestage with a tiled pattern such as this one. Hexagonal tiles make a splash in any bathroom but white against black adds serious drama.

Imagine how different this bathroom would look with a different choice of tile. These tiles add style and creative interest … not to mention more than a little wow factor.

Curve ball. These monochrome mosaics would be mesmerising even if they didn’t sweep up onto the wall. A modern marvel.
Elegant expanse. Marble can work beautifully in a monochrome bathroom, especially with a modern take on tile shape.
Masterpiece. A mosaic floor laid in an interesting pattern can become a bathroom’s standout feature. Three tilers laid this work of art piece by painstaking piece.
Time honoured. This traditional bathroom has been granted modern updates in the form of black tapware and subway tiles, but the flooring stays true to its roots – a great choice for a building built in the early 1900s.
Marble mat. Using tiles to delineate one section of bathroom from another is an elegant touch that adds decorative flair.
Mix and match. Contrasting patterned and plain tiles against each other can be a great choice for a small bathroom in need of a personality boost. It also makes it easy to see where the shower starts and finishes.
Moody monochrome. When the same tiles are used on the walls as well as the floor, the results can be dramatic. The skylight prevents this stylish bathroom from becoming too cave-like.
Industrious idea. Even if you keep the floor and wall tiles the same colour and style, varying their size can work wonders.
