Tiles are a standard of bathroom design, and the possibilities for how to utilize them are unlimited. This year is seeing loads of different tile trends appear that provide just about each design style, from minimalist to maximalist. Discover here some designs to inspire your next bathroom improvement.
Patterned Tile 
Gone are the days of tile floors mixing into the background of a room. In 2019, you’ll see the reemergence of patterned tiles, perhaps reflective of this year’s renewed focus on artisanship and craftsmanship.
Honeycomb Tiles
If 2019 could have a shape, it might just be honeycomb. Designers are getting geometric with their tiles, with honeycomb (aka hexagon) shapes appearing in tiled flooring and walls. This bathroom from Laurel & Wolf features gray floor tiles with navy borders, which echo the navy blue wall.

Color Patterns
Espresso Tones
Though color will certainly be trending this year, so will earthier tones such as chocolate brown — a sound option for those who prefer a more neutral palette. In this home, the floor tiles are a deep brown that adds dimension to the neutral space. You can also expect matte finishes to compete with glossy this year.

Colorful Tile
Naturally, 2019 is all about green. But just about every color is appearing in tiles this year as a bright, happy bathroom trend for color-lovers. In this bathroom, vivid green is paired with more subdued natural elements (like the wood sink and window) for a balance of colorful and carefree style.
