Bathroom Tile Design in 5 Easy Steps

Bathroom Tile Design - Tip #1: Add Medallions or Focal Points

Tile Focal Point

American Olean

This bathroom tile designer did something quite easy here (and easy for any DIY tile installer to do). The designer laid out a floor field of one color and size (12" x 12").

Then, the designer punched out a focal point just in front of the shower. The focal point is constructed of 4" tiles of a darker color, with a border of 4" tiles of an even darker color.

It's a simple bathroom tile design tactic that accomplishes two things:

1. Breaks up the monotony of the otherwise all-light-color floor field; and
2. Focuses interest on a key aspect of the bathroom--the shower.
