3 Bathrooms With Fun Tile And Fabulous Details

I’m sharing 3 more new bathrooms, these with some fun tile, from my recent project reveal.

This family home has two upstairs baths that will be used by the children and then I’ve got the powder room, downstairs, that has a striking tiled wall.

Since the powder room was going to get the wood floor flowing in there from the hallway, I decided to go with a tile on the wall to create an interesting view into the bathroom.

I’m getting so tired of the usual pedestal sinks in powder rooms too, I used this open metal look that reminds me of a hotel bathroom. I love how you can fully see the tiled wall.

That mosaic tile is from Arizona Tile and it has such a nice mix of a warmer white marble with gray in the basketweave design.

I didn’t want to cover up the tile with a big mirror, so we went tiny, with this small one from Pottery Barn. It brings the wood element up on the tile wall nicely, I think, and I like the clover shape. It speaks to the rustic style that is evident in this home.

As a powder bath, no one is going to be shaving or doing a major make-up sesh in here, so a tiny mirror is just fine. :-)

The Kohler Purist faucet and simple sconces also add a bit of modern touch to this bath, also echoing some of the design elements in this home.

You can see, in the pic below, the cabinet we did above the toilet for storage, so we didn’t have to do a cabinet at the sink. Painted the color of the wall, it blends in nicely.

Upstairs Bathroom 1

This bath has the fun tile in the tub area.

I used a horizontal style subway tile in several places in this home, and wanted to do something different in this bathroom. I selected a simple 12 x 24 strie look tile for the floor and then put this cool geometric patterned tile on the walls of the tub surround.

The installer did an amazing job of matching the pattern in the corners there!

White tile with gray grout makes the pattern stand out nicely without being too busy. The quartz slab pieces that frame out the shampoo niche make for a neat and tidy look. Carla Aston, Designer | Colleen Scott, Photographer

The opposite wall has the vanity and sinks. Painted a bold blue, with pristine white quartz counters, the Serena and Lily mirrors add the fun factor on this side of the bathroom.

I couldn’t help but bring in some yellow accents here, contrasting with that pretty blue bathroom cabinet and blue and white mirror. Carla Aston, Designer | Colleen Scott, Photographer

Upstairs Bath 2

This was a new bathroom added upstairs and it had space for this fab new shower. The patterned floor makes a cool statement and the color of the cabinetry was selected from that.

There’s no need for busy wallpaper, or a lot of pattern on the countertop material in this bathroom since the tile floor packs such a punch. Carla Aston, Designer | Colleen Scott, Photographer

More tile installation goodness here too!

When I have a good sized bathroom to design, I usually use the slab material on the curb, seat and at the shampoo niche. Sometimes on the jambs of the shower too, like I did here.

Love the penny tile in this oversized, statement shampoo niche. This upstairs bathroom makes getting ready for school in the morning a little more fun! Carla Aston, Designer | Colleen Scott, Photographer
