Bathroom with Decorative Tile

Great article from houzz.com providing design tips on how to use tile accents to create an impact in your bathroom on a budget!  It does not have to cost a fortune to incorporate some great decorative tiles,  accessories or to create accent walls using paint or paneling.  Next time you are out shopping pick up a new frame for your vanity mirror and a gallon of paint...you will be amazed at what a difference it can make!

  1. Add a decorative border.  Start with a less expensive white tile and add a border of a more expensive colored tile to provide a "wow" factor.
  2. Create a feature wall.  Install tile on the wall behind the mirror or on one wall of the shower to create a focal point.  An accent wall will cost less than using an expensive tile for the entire shower.
  3. Create a feature floor.  Go to basic on the walls but splurge on the floor!  A graphic black and white mosaic or a hexagon marble tile can add that "pop" to a bathroom without breaking the bank!
  4. Add beadboard or paneling.  Mixed with mosaic borders or floors and a beautiful decorative mirror will make the bathroom look like it's fit for a queen (but not on a royal budget!)
  5. Make a decorative statement.  Incorporate a unique design element...install tile vertically or use a special color or patterned glass for the shower enclosure.
  6. Add a bold wall color.  Paint is cheap so use it to provide dramatic appeal.  Don't be scared to use dark wall colors in a small space...it can create huge design impact!
  7. Go monochrome.  All white or all black is so unexpected it makes a real design statement on it's own!
