Strong Patterned Tiles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dual-Colored Bathrooms<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sticking with a dual-colored color scheme can make any space feel like a designer showcase. Bathrooms are a spectacular option for this two-color option thanks to the ability of tiles to offer various textures and depth that a painted wall just can\u2019t match. The Vivir Wainscot Collection<\/a> is great for dual-colored bathrooms thanks to its unique architectural reproduction of traditional wainscot and trim. You can also use a monochromatic tile like the Kent Collection<\/a>. These picket shapes come in a flat or 3D format so you can choose your level of pattern texture to bring a new dimension to this simple color palette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable Materials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most tiles have a great sustainability story. Porcelain, ceramic, and glass tiles are made from readily abundant raw materials that provide longevity and durability. The longer that a material can be used in space, the better it is for the environment by not having to be replaced and thrown into a landfill. A properly installed tile wall or floor can last decades, or in some cases centuries, making it both an environmentally friendly and great long-term investment option. The TruTech Porcelain Collection<\/a> is through-body porcelain that has one of the strongest constructions available that can stand up to heavy wear and tear, and even has a textured \u201cSasso\u201d finish for slip resistance in bathrooms. You can also look for tiles that have recycled content like the Halcyon Recycled Glass Collections<\/a>, These mosaic bathroom tiles deliver a clean and refreshing look in an earth-friendly upcycled product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturated Colors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Surrounding yourself with your favorite color is always a home-run when designing for a bathroom or other personal space. Tiles offer a beautiful range of finishes and textures that can bring color to life, and this is especially true with saturated tones. A great example of this is the Portmore Collection<\/a> that stands out thanks to a handmade appeal with bold color options. You can also find your signature color with the Zeolite Collection<\/a>. These porcelain tiles show off their swirling bands and agate-inspired look with beautifully hued purples and blues. And speaking of blues, this color is always a favorite for bathroom styles year after year so explore more with the article Dive Into These Denim Blue Tile Looks<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\ndecades, many homeowners and builders often opted for neutral colors and\nsimple, mostly plain designs for bathrooms and even kitchens. They would fall\nunder the spell of words like \u201csafe\u201d and \u201cresale value\u201d with the idea that no\ndesign is better than future potential buyers hating a bolder tile or paint choice.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what changed this decades-long trend? One important key in the shift away from mostly boring bathroom design was the introduction of home improvement and renovation shows into people\u2019s lives. They empowered homeowners to explore their own creativity, as well as encourage a new generation of DIY-ers who became unafraid to tackle projects like renovating a kitchen or retiling a bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DIY culture not only demystified home renovation but also demystified Interior Designers and their techniques for creating great spaces. Combining this knowledge with the power of online resources gave people the ability to develop their own personal style. This revolution began with kitchens and bathrooms where people would move into a home with a \u201csafe\u201d and neutral design, and immediately tear it out and replace it with a more personal and stylish statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now\nfast forward to today where people find not only inspiration online but can\nalso learn how to do it themselves and even purchase all the tools and\nmaterials that they need to complete a successful project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
