The infinite combinations of bathroom tiles allow you to design a personal and attractive space
When you create or renovate a bathroom space, the first thing you think of are the materials to cover walls and floors. And ceramics are usually the big winners. In this article, from PORCELANOSA we discover everything you need to know about bathroom tile combinations.
Bathroom tile combinations on floors and walls
One of the first decisions to make when combining bathroom tiles is their location. Ceramic can be used on the floor, walls, or both. This choice can make a big difference to the overall appearance of the room.
• Tiles for bathroom floors. Ceramic has great advantages for floor paving: durability, easy cleaning and resistance to water and stains. In addition, its versatility in terms of design allows you to choose a neutral model or play with different patterns. A successful combination of colours and textures on floors and walls creates a relaxing and harmonious atmosphere.
• Tiles for bathroom walls. Covering walls with tiles is an aesthetic and functional choice. Ceramic protects the walls from moisture and water. On the other hand, it adds a touch of elegance and texture to the bathroom. To do this, you can opt for a complete wall covering or a specific area, such as the shower.
Colours in bathroom tile combinations
The choice of colours in bathroom tile combinations is a key key. Colors have a significant impact on the perception of space and the creation of an atmosphere. Here are some of the most common colour combinations in bathroom tiles:

Neutral tones. The use of grey in bathroom tile combinations is very popular. Its combination with other neutral colors, such as beige or brown, is ideal for creating a relaxing and timeless space. If you want to get it 100% right, the gray and white bathroom is a safe option. Try combining tiles of different shades on the walls and floor to create a serene atmosphere.
Black and white. The combination of black and white tiles creates an elegant and timeless contrast. White tiles can be used on walls. Meanwhile, black ones are usually used on the floor or to create a decorative wall, for example, in the sink area. In addition, adding details in gold or copper tones further enhances the two-tone aesthetic.

Bathroom Style to Choose Tiles
The style of a bathroom also influences the choice of tiles, both floor and wall tiles. These are some of Porcelanosa's proposals for tile combinations:
– Classic. In a traditional bathroom, you may find ceramics inspired by neutral-toned marbles. These can be combined with cement-effect ceramics.
– Modern. In the combinations of tiles for modern bathrooms, large-format porcelain tiles is a clear winner. Achieving a modern and minimalist bathroom, these rectangular pieces give a feeling of cleanliness and visual spaciousness of the space, thanks to the XLIGHT format (120 cm x 270 cm). Their designs, printed with the highest technology, give sophistication to spaces.
– Rustic. Ceramics with the aesthetics of stone and wood are the most suitable for a rustic style bathroom. These materials can be combined with earth-toned textiles and wrought iron details to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
– Mediterranean. As we have said before, blue, green and white tones are perfect for a Mediterranean bath. You can make a composition of white and blue tiles to achieve a sailor-style bathroom. To complete the room, it includes textured pieces and decorative elements typical of the sea: anchors, stars or shells, among others.
– Vintage: Retro-looking subway tiles are ideal for a bathroom with a vintage aesthetic. They can be combined with vintage tap accessories and antique bathroom furniture to recreate that authentic style.

Large tiles. Large-format tiles, such as those from XTONE -160 cm x 320 cm-, can make a bathroom appear more spacious and clean. In addition, in modern bathrooms, combinations of large bathroom tiles offer a fresh and minimalist look, creating a spacious and contemporary atmosphere.

With a proper distribution, we can achieve a bathroom that reflects a very personal style and adapts to the needs of the users.
