Choose a honed or tumbled natural stone or a matte or textured porcelain, which give grip underfoot when the floor is wet. Keep high-polish finishes for walls, where slip is not a concern.
What tile should I use on a shower floor?+
Small mosaics are the standard choice because they follow the slope to the drain and their many grout lines add traction. Pick a honed or matte finish for the best grip on a wet pan.
Can I use the same tile throughout a bathroom?+
You can use a coordinated look, but different spots have different needs. Floors want slip resistance, showers want small mosaics, and walls can go bolder. Mixing formats within one palette usually looks best.
Bathroom Tiles for Every Surface
The bathroom asks a lot of its tile. Floors need grip when wet, showers need small formats that follow the slope and wrap a niche, and walls can go bolder since they stay dry. This collection covers all of it, from natural stone and porcelain to ceramic and glass mosaics, so you can outfit a whole bathroom from one place.
Matching tile to the job
On the floor, honed or tumbled stone and matte porcelain give the best footing. In the shower, small mosaics grip the pan and bend around curbs and benches, while a larger field tile keeps the surround calm. On walls and vanities, polished marble and glossy ceramic are fair game since slip is not a concern. Mixing formats like this is what makes a bathroom feel designed rather than just covered.
