Bold Bathroom Tile Pattern

February 14, 2014 by Jane F 2 Comments

cement tile pattern - large-scale cement tiles used on a bathroom wall and floor - thedesignfiles.net via AtticmagA large-scale cement tile pattern can add the illusion of space in a small bath.

One distinguishing aspect of mid-20th century bathroom design is the use of the same tile on the walls and floor. This may be for the sake of economy, or for looks. Small scale tile, such as the 1-inch mosaic dots used in a white bathroom in my Contemporary Bathroom Fireplaces post, can be very effective. And using a variety to sizes to create a gorgeous monochrome tile pattern like the one in my Gray Marble Bathroom post is something of an art form for traditional baths.

Then there are large-scale cement tile patterns which are appearing more often in bathrooms. Cement tiles are especially durable and long have been used for flooring throughout the world. They can be solid color but they are mainly used for the wide variety of  patterns they provide in a various colorways. In the narrow loft bathroom of an apartment in Sydney, Australia, architect Jodi York chose a Jatana Interiors antique reproduction cement tile Gray Royal pattern with traditional quatrefoils and rosettes. Keeping to gray and white yields a neutral palette and but the visual boldness of the tile helps widen the appearance of the bathroom’s accent wall. The pattern continuing onto the floor creates a carpet-like effect. And the cement tile pattern marries nicely with budget-wise white subways on the adjacent wall.

Finding just the right cement tile pattern also supports the concept of bathroom-as-spa and offers opportunities for a design statement as memorable as the one in this bathroom.

    I’m not normally a fan of big patterns like that, but this one is lovely. It really does make the space seem larger.

    It may be worth noting for the readers that the tiles shown are about 1/4 the size they appear (most likely 8″ x 8″). As with most traditional cement tile patterns, this pattern is tessellated, requiring four tiles to complete the larger pattern. If you look hard, you can see the very fine grout lines through the pattern.

    The most important thing for anyone considering cement tile for bathrooms is quality installation and a good sealant. Splashes can discolor the cement where moisture is allowed to penetrate. With proper installation, clients have been really happy with our tiles, even in the wettest areas.

    This is a stunning bathroom!
