Finding the right small bathroom tile is all about making a small space feel larger than it is. Subway tile is common for small bathrooms because the horizontal lines give the illusion of wider walls. Herringbone pattern tile is also popular for showers, flooring, or half walls because the diagonal pattern helps visually lengthen the room.
You can also play with scale by using small penny tiles along the floor or shower pan. Alternatively, you can go big with large tiles in a single color laid along all the bathroom walls. Simple shades like white, gray, tan, or black are the most frequently used colors for a small bathroom. No matter what type of tile you decide on, check out these small bathroom tile ideas to make even the smallest bathroom feel larger than life.
