Long days spent lounging by the pool, exploring the woods or lying with your feet buried in the sand followed by warm nights catching lightening bugs, watching fireworks and staring up at the stars–no other time is at once so exuberant and relaxed as summer!

Updating or adding a bathroom will add value, convenience and pleasure to your home. Whether you’re designing a powder room or your dream primary bath, we’ve put together a list of our favorite floor tile ideas to inspire your next project.

Go Bold With a Geometric Pattern

Want to make your floor the focal point? A bold geometric pattern is sure to be a show-stopper. Tie it into other design elements in the room through color or pattern, or use white tile or paint on the walls to keep the floor the main feature. Whether you choose bold colors like the encaustic-look Artisan Tiare tile or a black-and-white design, the clean lines of a geometric tile will make your bathroom feel neat and orderly.

Embrace Ultimate Luxury With Marble

Nothing is more luxurious or unique than natural stone, and no stone exudes elegance quite like marble. Most of our marble collections include tile in a variety of sizes and shapes so you can match a square or rectangular tile with a mosaic to create distinction on the floors while still maintaining cohesion in your space. Designer Nikki Chu has done just that in this bathroom covered in floor to ceiling Ashford Cararra. We love how the smaller format hexagon floor tiles provide some relief from the large-format wall tiles. Read A Step Inside: Nikki Chu’s Neutral-Luxe Total Home Reno for more of her design philosophy and inspiring spaces.

Create a Coastal Chic Vibe

Want a bathroom that radiates beach vibes year-round? Our Summeland by Jeffery Alan Marks tiles, inspired by the California Shoreline, will infuse your bathroom with warm and inviting coastal charm.

Extend the Floor

Tile doesn’t need to stop where the floor ends. If you’re loving your floor tile, take it up the tub or shower wall. The Laura Ashley Sunflower tile on this tub wall is an unexpected detail that adds charm and character to this bathroom. View more spaces featuring tile inspired by the iconic British brand here.

Play With Scale Using Large-Format Tiles

Want to make a small bathroom appear bigger? Large-format tiles require fewer grout lines, making your floor feel more cohesive and your space more expansive. The 24 x 47 in. Aqua Blu tile used in this bathroom designed by Rashida Banks makes this bathroom feel luxuriously spacious.

Add Elegance With Marble-Look Tiles

If you like the look of marble but not the price point, porcelain marble-look tiles, like the Tresana Blanco used in this gorgeous bathroom designed by Brooke Pavel, are a durable and cost-effective alternative that’s sure to dazzle. We have a wide variety of marble-look tiles ranging from crisp white to black. Choose soft, subtle veining or go dramatic with thick, bold hues. Whatever style, marble-look tiles will add a touch of class and elegance to your floor.

Create Vintage Charm With Penny Rounds

Small and neat penny rounds are as classic as they are chic. We have a wide selection of penny rounds, mounted on a mesh backing for easy installation. Choose a pre-made pattern or create your own using the wealth of colors available. The delightful pattern below designed by Timber Trails was created using the Penny Round White Gloss and the Penny Round Cloudy tiles.

Keep it Simple With Black and White Patterns

If you want to infuse color in your walls, mirrors or fixtures, a simple black and white tile floor pattern will complement rather than detract from the rest of your room. The Cloth Black and White tile used in this bathroom designed by Zig & Co. adds to the whimsical character of the room, while allowing the bright colors and fun butterfly patterned wallpaper to shine.

Marvel With a Beautiful Mosaic

Mosaics don’t just make for gorgeously intricate floors, the small tile pieces also require more grout lines, which provides more traction on floors prone to wetness. Mosaic tile comes in a wide variety of shapes–from hexagon to basketweave to petal and more–and come on a mesh backing for easy installation. Choose a mosaic in a mix of colors, like the Modena tile in this shower designed by Nikki Chu, to add exciting detail to your floor.

Create a Classic & Classy Checkerboard

If you want to add character to your floors, a checkerboard pattern is a style that is simultaneously sophisticated and fun. The alternating tiles create a dynamic movement that will enliven your floors with energy and playfulness. Whether you use traditional black and white, a muted white and cream or a bold color paired with a pattern, checkerboard tile is a versatile classic that’s always in style.

Mix Colors and Patterns

Have a wallpaper you love for your bathroom? Pair it with a patterned floor tile. When you keep to the same color palette, you can play with patterns and not clash. There’s a lot going on this bathroom designed by Zig and Co., but keeping everything in blue, green and white maintains an intentional design scheme.

Keep it Neutral

If bright and bold isn’t your style, don’t be afraid to embrace a neutral color palette. Beige doesn’t have to be boring–a fun shape and subtle pattern can add interest to a floor without becoming overwhelming. We love how the Blot Noon Hexagon tile creates a pattern that’s as appealing as it is calming.

Create a Natural Look With Luxury Vinyl Flooring

Want the natural look of wood in your bathroom, but are afraid it will be difficult to maintain in a room prone to wetness? Luxury vinyl flooring is an easy-to-maintain, 100% waterproof flooring option that will mimic the look of natural wood and stone. It is also easy to install, making it a great option for a DIY project. We have luxury vinyl flooring in a wide variety of wood and stone styles, so you can get exactly the look you want.

Kelli Fontana, lead designer and creative director of West Bay Homes, created a delightful oasis in this Naples, FL home, dubbed the Sun Coast Estate. The captivating opulence of this 13,000-sq.-ft. estate incorporates the coastal essence of The Sunshine State while still maintaining the comfort of home.

We invite you to take a tour through this charming and stately home brimming with inspiring design choices that showcase some of our favorite tile.

Mudroom

Comfort and elegance combine to create this charming mudroom. Contemporary, yet timeless the Laura Ashley Wicker Dove Grey tile provides balance to the bold reddish-brown walls and intricately patterned window coverings.

Powder Room

A wealth of beautiful textures and patterns meld to create intrigue and allure in this bold, yet pleasing powder room. The sculptural Harmony Silverleaf tile adds visual interest to the ceiling and complements the hanging crystals. While the soft white Meram Blanc Carra tile center the lower-half of the room in sleek comfort that contrasts the large floral wallpaper.

The elegant and classic Meram Blanc Carrara polished tile, rustic mirror, light-wood cabinetry and organic accents combine complex textures for a look that is both captivating and inviting.

Living Area

For the indoor/outdoor living area, Kelli takes a more minimalist approach. The bright white walls and Siberian Pearl Brushed marble floors create an airy open space filled with natural light. A simple color palette keeps focus on the seating area, where family and friends can gather.

Kitchen

The kitchen is the heart of any home, and a place to find nourishment and build memories. The white counters and cabinetry work with the Retro Lino backsplash to make the space feel clean and vivid. The glass doors display the dishware for a lived-in feel.

The clear coat glaze on the Retro Lino subway tile reflects the light, providing extra illumination to the cooking area. Check out our post on Kitchen Backsplash Ideas for more inspiration.

Primary Bathroom

Soak in the lush neutral tones that create an opulent space, at once soft and bright. The brown veining in the Tresana Blanco Matte porcelain tile bring out the room’s color palette with subtle appeal that doesn’t detract from the bathroom’s clean luxuriousness. Browse our wide-assortment of bathroom tile for the perfect look for your next home project.

Boys’ Bathroom

This blue-plaid room invokes a classic boyhood feel. Straight lines and a monochromatic color scheme maintain a sense of order while still being youthful. The white grout line crossing through the Splendours Blue Night shower tile is an inverse to the white and blue wallpaper (find more shower tile on our website). While the more uniform Glass Nautical Blue backsplash creates a block of color that is strong without detracting from the rest of the room.

The subtle sheen of the Ionic White floor tile provides a sturdy, unassuming base to the patterns that play throughout the room.

Guest Bathroom

What guest wouldn’t feel at home stepping into this gorgeous shower? The Bulevar White ceramic tile has a subtle wavy texture that soothes the senses. The clean white tile also provides a gentle buffer between the bold patterned wallpaper and the marvelous McQueen Grey stone mosaic tile accent.

Guest Bathroom

The Legno limestone tile mimics the look of woodgrain to create an organic texture that is also durable. A warm grey palette and linear veining complement the textured accents in the cabinets and wall sconces. Read our post for even more luxurious bathroom design ideas.

Bar

The focal point of the home is this stunning bar. At once contemporary and reminiscent of retro glamor, the Antique Mirror Bevel tile and gorgeous gold and glass hanging lights are captivating without being obtrusive, making this the perfect place to enjoy a cocktail with friends.

The Antique Mirror Bevel tile reflects the fireplace and billiards room beyond, creating depth while still maintaining the intimacy of the space.

Laundry Room

Laundry is less of a chore in this beautifully designed room with its fresh, clean aesthetic. The soft blue and white color palette lend a calmness to this space. The solid, simple coloring of the walls and cabinetry bring a balance that allow for more interest in the floor tile, Decora Ornament Blue, which brings a sophisticated charm to the room.

Pool Bathroom

The Art Nouveau-inspired design on the Decora Redondo cement-look wall tile lend a classic elegance to this pool bathroom. The grey shapes perfectly balance the blue coral and candle used to accent the sink area, giving the room a subtle aquatic feel.

From warm sunshine and refreshing ocean waves to rich, vibrant hues and flowers in full bloom, there are few things that compare to the dreamy hallmarks of summer. We’ve rounded up a few of our favorite patterned tiles that capture the season’s invigorating essence, making it easier than ever to keep a summery atmosphere alive year-round in the home.

Laura Ashley Sunflower

The latest addition to our exclusive Laura Ashley designer collection, the Laura Ashley Sunflower tiles offer the poppy energy of endless sunflower fields, complemented by boho-style details and a lightly weathered finish.

Explore more gorgeous patterns from the Laura Ashley tile collection with this roundup of 15 Laura Ashley Spaces We Love.

Amazonia

Transport yourself to a tropical rainforest with the sun-drenched botanicals in the Amazonia collection. Featuring three stunning colorways with lush leafy prints, watercolor lines and a sun-faded appearance, these tiles are perfect for creating a relaxed and refreshing ambiance.

Featuring: Amazonia in Grey Tropic, Cotta Tropic and Emerald Tropic.

Annie Selke Flora

With sprawling fern leaves in a faded white hue, the fresh Flora tiles from our exclusive Annie Selke collection embody organic beauty at its finest.

With a pattern of colorful fragments that resemble broken bits of sea glass, the Terrazzo Bianco tiles can make every day feel like a laid-back beach day.

Featuring: Terrazzo Bianco Macro, Track Stack White Two Tone and Assorted Tiles.

Maiolica Series

Reminiscent of the iconic whitewashed and cobalt blue buildings scattered across the islands of Greece, the tiles in our Maiolica series will instantly transport you to the Mediterranean coast. Embrace the look even more by mixing and matching the small porcelain squares to create a whimsical patchwork effect.

Featuring: Maiolica in Blu, Bianco, Armonia, Astro and Adagio.

Star Olive & Grey

While the Star Olive & Grey is designed for use on both walls and floors, this cement tile is the furthest thing from an ordinary wallflower. The punchy geometric pattern displays vivid olive green flower petals, perfect for breathing fresh energy into a space.

Featuring: Star Olive & Grey. Design by @total360interiors.

Annie Selke Speckle Goldleaf

Radiating summery vibes with a glamorous twist, the Annie Selke Speckle Goldleaf showcases the golden warmth of the sun complete with a glitzy metallic finish.

Featuring: Annie Selke Goldleaf Speckle. Design by Annie Selke.

Seen above in the kitchen of Annie Selke’s Palm Springs Desert Oasis, the tile’s mirrored gold splatters reflect sunny natural light for a true show-stopping moment.

Villandry Azure

Pressed and painted by hand, the Villandry Azure cement tile boasts a charming artisanal style complete with a color palette reminiscent of a stony shoreline. Pair it with warm wood and soft textures for a relaxed boho look, or make it an eye-catching focal point by incorporating it into a design that leans more contemporary.

Alato Beachwalk Chevron

Designed to mimic the contrasting appearance of seashells, the Alato Beachwalk Chevron mosaic showcases the imperfect beauty that can be found along a seashore. With a neutral color palette of blacks, greys and beiges, this mosaic is fabulous for creating a captivating element of dimension.

Get ready to take a step inside Varsity Blues – one of the recent projects completed by Timber Trails Development Company. Join Julie Howard, Timber Trails’ lead designer, as she walks through the beautiful home while sharing her inspiration and design choices behind each space. Featuring charming pops of pattern and lovely blue hues throughout, it’s truly one-of-a-kind.

To get a closer look at some of our favorite spaces in Varsity Blues, keep scrolling!

Family Room

As Julie explained, our Laura Ashley Wicker Sea Spray tile was the inspiration for the home’s entire color palette. We love the way it ties this family room together as a timeless focal point.

Kitchen

Offering the atmosphere of a whimsical English cottage, this kitchen is both classic and cozy. The rich blue cabinetry makes an eye-catching statement, while the handmade-look Retro Lino backsplash creates balance and adds soft, artisanal character.

Laundry Room

It’s all in the details! Using the Urban Pearl Pav and Urban White Pav tiles, Julie created a custom floor pattern in the laundry room. By placing the tiles in a traditional checkerboard layout, she brought understated elegance to this sweet and simple space.

Mudroom

Laura Ashely Wicker Sea Spray makes its second appearance in Varsity Blues as the home’s mudroom flooring. It offers gorgeous contrast against the warm brown details and crisp white walls.

Primary Bathroom

Featuring our Siberian Pearl marble, the primary bathroom is a true show-stopper. With refined wall paneling, gold hardware, and a boldly painted ceiling, we are swooning over every inch of Julie’s design.

Laid in an elegant herringbone pattern, the Siberian Pearl brushed marble brings an elevated, timeless feel to this space while creating incredible interest and dimension.

We love the Siberian Pearl marble because it has so many natural tones running through it.

-Julie Howard

We can’t forget about this breathtaking shower! Complete with coordinating trim pieces and a striking hex mosaic from the Siberian Pearl collection, its opulence is unmatched.

Jack & Jill Bathroom

As charming as it is functional, the Jack & Jill bathroom maintains a cool-toned palette with the Bulevar Grey tiled shower surround and Meram Blanc Carrara Polished Hex flooring. Soft veining throughout each marble hex plays effortlessly with the gentle waves of texture in the Bulevar Grey, creating just the right amount of movement.

Guest Bathrooms

The perfect place to play with pattern, Julie brought the home’s guest bathrooms to life with two unique, yet complementary designs. The first bathroom features a more sophisticated style with our cement-look Villandry Azure tile on the floor. Pulling out the rich blue tones from the Villandry Azure‘s Victorian-inspired pattern, the Imperial Slate Blue makes for an excellent shower surround.

The second guest bathroom showcases a slightly playful aesthetic with the Blot Noon Hexagon, which imitates the appearance of an inkblot. Similar to the Jack and Jill bathroom, Julie used the Bulevar Grey tile for the shower surround, while adding a luxurious final touch with the Arctic White Brushed Marble Hex on the shower’s floor.

Featuring: Blot Noon Hexagon, Bulevar Grey, Bulevar Grey REL Trim, Arctic White Brushed Hex and Arctic White Brushed. Design by Timber Trails. Photography by Stoffer Photography Interiors.

That’s a wrap on the Timber Trails‘ Varsity Blues home tour! We hope you enjoyed your step inside and gathered fresh inspiration to create something beautiful of your own.
