Best Bathroom Tiles for Small Bathrooms

Make Your Small Bathroom Feel Larger with the Right Tiles

A small bathroom doesn't have to feel cramped. The right tile choice can transform a compact space into something that feels open, airy, and luxurious. Here's our guide to the best tile options for small bathrooms.

1. Large-Format Tiles

Counterintuitively, large-format tiles think 60x60cm or 60x120cm can make a small bathroom feel bigger. Fewer grout lines mean less visual interruption, creating a seamless, expansive look. Our porcelain large-format tiles are ideal for this effect.

2. Light-Coloured Tiles

Pale tones whites, soft greys, warm creams reflect light and open up a space. A light-coloured wall tile paired with a slightly contrasting floor tile adds depth without closing the room in.

3. Vertical Tile Layouts

Running tiles vertically draws the eye upward, making ceilings feel higher. This works especially well with rectangular formats like a classic brick or metro tile laid in a vertical stack bond pattern. Browse our wall tiles for inspiration.

4. Continuous Floor-to-Wall Tiling

Using the same tile on both the floor and walls creates a cohesive, uninterrupted look that visually expands the space. This wet-room style approach is both practical and design-forward. Explore our bathroom tile collection for coordinating options.

5. Glossy Finishes

Glossy tiles bounce light around the room, enhancing the sense of space. They work particularly well on bathroom walls in rooms with limited natural light.

6. Subtle Patterns and Textures

A gentle texture or tonal pattern adds visual interest without overwhelming a small space. Avoid bold, busy patterns which can make a room feel smaller. Our feature wall tiles offer tasteful options that work beautifully in compact bathrooms.

Tips for Laying Tiles in Small Bathrooms

• Minimise grout line width to reduce visual clutter
• Use a consistent grout colour that closely matches your tile for a seamless finish
• Consider diagonal laying patterns to add dynamism and perceived space
• Extend tiles into the shower enclosure for a unified look
