Tile Style: Gorgeous Bathroom Designs Featuring Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tile is nothing new — but we’ve put a new twist on an old favorite that is as fresh as a summer breeze. Today’s designs include marvelous mosaics, classic subway tiles, large-format tiles and even planks. They emulate wood grain, natural stone, and other materials that are costlier and less durable, so you can install them just about anywhere you please.

The durability and water-resistance of ceramic tile have long made it a favorite for use in bathrooms. Today’s ceramics are tougher than ever, and you can feel confident using them both as wall tile and as flooring. The glazed look, ranging from soft matte to glossy polished surfaces, gives a luxurious, natural look wherever it’s applied. Here are a few that we’ve chosen as an introduction to MSI’s collection of gorgeous ceramic tiles.

Dove Gray Diamond

One of the hottest bathroom tile makeover ideas is a mosaic backsplash, which may be continued as a horizontal stripe across the rest of the wall for maximum dramatic impact.

Dove Gray Diamond Ceramic Tile features a mid-tone gray with paler accent mosaic tiles and a classic, crackled glaze finish. It’s available in pre-assembled sheets for easy installation. 

Napa Beige

One of the best reasons to install ceramics in your bathroom is its resistance to moisture, mildew and other nasty stuff.

White Glossy Subway

Subway tiles, glossy and rectangular, are deceptively simple — but oh, so versatile. White Glossy Subway Tile creates a clean, airy aesthetic, popular for bathrooms and kitchens. This tile fits in so many styles of décor, from retro and traditional, to cottage, to modern and contemporary, and beyond. Subway tile shines in a traditional “brick” installation, but you can also get creative installing them vertically, in a herringbone pattern, or in combo with other tiles.
