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.

Stone effect tiles
The stone effect bathroom tiles bring an organic dimension to the room, whether on the floor or the wall. With its rich texture and beautiful earthy tones, this tile evokes the authenticity of natural materials. Stone effect tiles can vary from porcelain stoneware to travertine, thus offering a variety of patterns and colors to suit all decor styles.
Bathroom furniture: which model and color to choose?
A wooden bathroom cabinet
Dark colors are very elegant for decorating a bathroom. Here, the black marble is highlighted by the light wood bathroom cabinet and the two white sinks. The wood also brings a warm touch to the space.
We love: the rounded edge mirror, which modernizes the room.

A colorful vanity
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.
A marble sink
The pinnacle of luxury, the marble sink immediately imposes a certain presence. Here, it contrasts with a very minimalist faucet design for even more elegance.
A terrazzo sink
The terrazzo sink is a remarkable piece that brings a unique and textured aesthetic to the bathroom. Made from a mixture of marble, granite, quartz, or glass fragments bound by cement or resin, the terrazzo sink offers a surface rich in patterns and varied shades.
A black sink
The modern black sink embodies a certain elegance. Often made of ceramic or natural stone, it offers an interesting contrast with the neutral or vibrant tones found on the walls, furniture, or floors. Its clean and minimalist design fits perfectly into modern bathrooms.
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
This wood and white bathroom reveals classic and timeless choices, highlighted by pretty details. For example, this pair of bathroom sconces, the only touch of black in this very soft decor. The marble countertop also adds texture to the whole.
Bathroom color: the most beautiful decor inspirations
The color of the bathroom plays an essential role in creating a harmonious and functional atmosphere. Neutral tones like white, beige, and gray offer a classic and timeless palette, visually enlarging the space and providing a sense of cleanliness and freshness.
In a completely different style, more vibrant colors like blue, green, or pink add a touch of dynamism and personality to the bathroom while creating a stimulating atmosphere.
A white bathroom
Classic and timeless, the white bathroom can reveal a beautiful personality if you play with certain details. Like here, with the herringbone pattern on the floor, and the large custom mirror on the wall.
