The ways we can decorate our homes are endless. It’s an exciting prospect but can at times feel like a daunting one. If you’re itching to do something a bit differently with your bathroom, whether that’s a bijou downstairs loo, a spacious wet room or a family bathroom in need of a pick-me-up, feast your eyes on the following – eight of our all-time most creative bathrooms that go above and beyond out-of-the-box thinking. 

1. Tickled Pink: one way to showcase a pink palette – throw it everywhere. This pink bathroom is proof that La Vie en Rose is worth living, but there are ways to do it that’s playful, smart and a chip off the old block. Mixing up our ceramic tiles Carter Rose and Carter White on the walls for a broader pinstripe look and then changing up the scale with our striped Deck Chair tiles on the floor nails the look – throw Carter’s Rose Pink paint on the walls and it’s pink for the win. 

2. Rule of Thirds: now for a more neutral twist. Like wainscoting where the lowermost part of a wall is finished differently to the rest (more classically with wooden cladding and then paint, paper or tiles on top), this neutral bathroom shows that you can still section up your bathroom walls with the very same tile design in a contrasting colour. Sticking to the aesthetically on-point rule of thirds, the top two-thirds of wall are tiled in our Earthenware tiles in Soft White with the bottom third in the warm and nutty Plaster colourway. A neutral vision as you’ve never dreamt it before.

3. Fez Up: some tiles transport you places and this showcase of our porcelain Fez tile collection is going to send you straight to the mesmerising riads of Morocco every single time. Showing you how to tessellate tiles like a total pro, we’ve got a mosaic of the star and cross designs on both floors and walls in both finishes too – the pure and simple white and the Cotton-coloured terracotta effect. It’s giving outdoor, poolside shower vibes and we’re all for that.

4. Curve-balling: back to pink again but we’re not talking colour this time around, we’re chatting angles. This curved shower scene is crying out: take hold of sheet mosaic tiles and run wild. If you’ve fallen hard for a micro tile design like matchsticks but have a complex wall to deal with, finding those laid out on sheets like our porcelain Bamboo tiles means the sky’s the limit. Curved walls come at us.

5. Sink Into This: one of our favourite bath tub designs to sink into – this bathroom says loud and clear that it’s not all about rolltops you know. A marble surround with a smartly designed bath panel in layers of our glazed Petite porcelain tiles in both Blue and Sky makes for a majestic soak but the back wall being tiled artfully too makes it even more of a beacon to walk towards. Creative tile mastery – take note.

6. Don’t be a Square: be a rectangle. Starting off with our Marlborough terracotta-effect parquet flooring (oh so practical for a wet room environment like this one) and then running those rectangles up the shower walls in a modern take on monochrome pinstripes – the Forest Green and Cotton gives a jazzy look that’s anything but jarring. By keeping the same shape of tile throughout the space and simply switching up the tone and orientation the room design feels cohesive and mega, mega creative.

7. Paradise, Found: at the aptly named Paradise Farm on the Suffolk-Norfolk border lies a bathroom so divine we were tempted to claim squatters’ rights. Within the 16th-century farmhouse is a series of rooms decorated with 10/10 style like this buttermilk coloured bathroom, kitted out with three of our tiles in total. Marlborough Terracotta on the floor combines with Maroc square tiles on the shower walls in two tones – Beige and Bianco. Insert chef’s kiss. They loved the look so much they carried on that very vibe into more than one space, switching up the tile shape on the flooring and the colour combo in the immensely generous shower enclosure. Big. Old. Swoon.

8. Fiesta, Fiesta: and finally to a bathroom that shows how the unlikeliest of tiles can get along like a house on fire. Staring down low with a more muted and weathered tile chequerboard of our square Reform tiles in Mint with Bianco, we’ve pulled out Mint’s green colouring with Sutton’s Sage paintwork on the walls and then thrown in a more surprising tile contender: our Tunstall tiles in energising Coral. From the fluted finish to the flat, together they create a space that’s the life and soul of the whole casa.
