Bathroom tiles: the different options
The choice of bathroom tiles not only dresses the walls but also creates a true atmosphere in your room. From classic subway tiles to zelliges or cement tiles, each option offers its own aesthetic and functional characteristics.
Good to know!
Do not mix porcelain stoneware tiles with bathroom ceramics! Indeed, this type of glazed tile is only surface-glazed and is more porous, thus more often used to dress the walls.
Graphic tiles
Nothing beats a graphic bathroom tile to add texture to neutral tones. Here, the gray tiles and the black fixtures are highlighted by the patterns of the tiles. An interesting idea when you want to give style without overdoing it!
A geometric tile floor
Do you want to add a graphic touch to your white bathroom? Adopt a geometric tile floor. Many brands now offer bathroom tiles with easy-to-live-with patterns, like here where the floor adds just the necessary decorative touch.
Marble effect tiles
For a modern bathroom decor, nothing beats a decor based on black, white, and gray. We love the marble effect tiles, the built-in fixtures, and the two wall sconces that highlight the beauty of the veining.
Adopt zelliges in the bathroom
Straight from Morocco, zelliges are handmade tiles. Their irregular edges and shine immediately add character to the room. Bathroom zelliges come in various colors and formats to adapt to different decor styles.
A bathroom with mirror tiles
Perfect for dressing a small space, mirror tiles can quickly become your best ally in arranging your bathroom.

We love: the rounded edge mirror, which modernizes the room.

A colorful vanity is a bold way to add personality and vibrancy to the bathroom. Whether you choose a vibrant shade like navy blue or emerald green; or a soft color like powder pink, this vanity infuses a dose of energy and character into the room. It works particularly well in a small bathroom.
Bathroom mirror: an essential accessory
There are also many choices when it comes to bathroom mirrors. Whether you opt for a lighted bathroom mirror or a classic model, each option can transform the look and functionality of your bathroom.
At what height should you install your bathroom mirror?
The answer is simple: it should be about 170 cm from the floor, or between 10 and 25 cm from your vanity. The highest point of the mirror should exceed the tallest person in the household by about 20 cm for comfortable use.
Choosing your bathroom sink
The bathroom sink adds a touch of style and true personality to your space. From minimalist built-in sinks to elegant pedestal sinks, each option can influence the overall aesthetic of your bathroom.

Bathroom lighting: the different possibilities
To refine the decoration of your bathroom down to the smallest details, we recommend playing with different types of lighting. On the ceiling, spotlights will provide the necessary brightness to the room. However, you can add a pendant light to add style to the room. Also, wall sconces can provide more diffused lighting around the mirror.
What IP rating for bathroom lights?
To ensure the protection of your lights against water splashes in areas up to 60 cm around the bathtub or shower, as well as on walls up to 2.25 m high, it is essential to choose lights with an IP44 rating.
Bathroom sconces
