Brown ochre is a color trend that's here to stay. A warm brown with hints of gold, this color is perfect for bathroom tiles. This room by designer Sarah Magness is covered in small, square tiles in a variety of hues.

Note the distinct veined marble
Hector M. Sanchez
When designer Andrew Brown wanted the bathroom in his Birmingham, Alabama, home to feel like a jewelry box, he used bold striped floor tiles and a matching slab of marble to give the shower a strong, cohesive look. A deep yellow patterned wallpaper and gold accents add a touch of luxury.

Combining different shapes
Eric Piasecki
Designer Cleck Jones knows how to have fun, especially when it comes to tile. This bathroom's bubblegum pink subway tile on the walls and diamond-like, leaf-like motif on the floor are full of energy. Brass industrial-style fixtures and lighting add just the right amount of contrast, and the pale purple paint is a nice accent.
