In many rooms, the tilework may simply provide a necessary background, but in this bathroom the ceramic tiles add quite a bit to the mood. Sitting below the crisp, white freestanding bathtub, the wavy gray and black ceramic tiles make the tub seem as if it is floating in a sea of metallic waves.
An inlaid tile rug helps break up the narrowness of this master bathroom retreat. With surrounding neutral floor tiles and deep gray walls, the tile rug is clearly the bathroom's focal point.
Having a soft, neutral ceramic tile in your bathroom is an excellent way to visually expand the space. Plus, this standard tile design can go with any style.
