\u201cI noticed every time I spent a lot of time in the bathtub, I would just get fantastic realizations about myself, and they were so valuable and liberating.\u201d<\/em>– Leonard Orr<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say goodbye to that boring builder-grade drop-in bathtub. It\u2019s small and ugly in that basic white. You can\u2019t really do much with these tubs other than take them out and replace them with something better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could have a freestanding tub or another built-in that has tile surrounding it. Even if you add a freestanding tub, you need tile on the walls around it. Once you decide on your dream tub, your next step is to choose just the right tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These bathtub tile ideas will help you plan a bathroom remodel that features an upgraded tub.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Color Coordination in Bathtub Tiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t go wrong with white tiles in your bathroom. White looks clean and bright. It\u2019s also easy to tell if you got your bathroom clean or not. However, white can also look boring and sterile. Instead, consider another neutral color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beige<\/a> or brown can look gross and inspired thoughts you don\u2019t want to have associated with your bathroom. Try a shade of grey instead. This gives you a nice neutral backdrop that you can pair with a range of colors in your decor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Contemporary Bathtub Tile Trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Contemporary bathrooms embrace tiles that don\u2019t look like tile. Tile the area around your bathtub with a tile that looks like wood. This gives you the visual warmth of wood but the durability of tile. It costs more than wood but will also last significantly longer in the wet environment of your bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another popular contemporary tile is glass tile. It has a soothing blue-green color that will give your bathtub a spa-like feel. Choose a tile that has a modern shape and size to keep your bathroom feeling contemporary and not outdated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Embracing Dark Tiles for Bathtubs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dark tiles make a bold and sophisticated statement. They are perfect for surrounding a bathtub in a master bathroom. You could use black subway tile for a unique take on the vintage tile. Or you can use black marble or granite for a luxury take<\/a> on dark tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a small bathroom<\/a>, the dark tile can actually make your bathroom feel bigger. Pair your dark tile with a metal tub for a beautiful and elegant balance between light and dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Marble Tile Elegance in Bathrooms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using marble tile as a part of your bathroom tile ideas will elevate the look of your bathtub. This tile is typically used as shower tile<\/a> or floor tile. However, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t also use it for your bathtub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large marble sheets look beautiful as they can feature the graining that\u2019s prized in this type of stone. However, if your budget can\u2019t support this, you can opt for smaller tiles. These are less likely to break or crack, making it easier to install them around your tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Modern Bathtub Tile Inspirations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modern bathrooms<\/a> feature large-scale tiles. You can do this in your bathroom when adding tile to the walls around your bathtub. Opt for thin grout lines that minimize their look, so they don’t break up the look of the tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose a tile that has a subtle pattern but nothing too bold. It should also be in a soothing white, grey, or beige. If you want a stronger statement, you could use a tile that\u2019s charcoal grey. Then it\u2019s dark and moody like black but not as harsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Neutral Tile Shades for Serenity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A popular small bathroom tile idea is to use neutral natural tiles. This brings an earthy feel to your bathroom tile designs. Instead of using crisp and pristine porcelain tile with a uniform color and shiny finish, neutral tile design features slight variations in color and finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These wall tiles are good to use when you want another area in your bathroom to be the focal point. Use these tiles around the bathtub to create a backdrop that doesn\u2019t draw attention. They are subtle shades of white that will blend with a white tub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
