They say bathrooms and kitchens are what sell homes. So how can you take your bathroom from ordinary to extraordinary? Try adding some unique tile designs.

First of all, it’s important to understand the types of tiles you can use to create a unique look in your bathroom.

* Field tiles are the largest and used to cover the most space, like on the floor or wall for example. As they are the most common type of tile, they are generally the least expensive. They come in a variety of sizes and colors, and are ideal for accenting with other types of colors.
* Accent tiles help add dimension and drama to any bathroom when used sparingly. They can be used in flooring or on the wall to create interest in the overall look of the room.
* Trim tiles can be used like a wallpaper border. They add style to the area around the tub, or can break up the tiles in the shower.

All these tiles can be used in conjunction with each other to create a look that’s uniquely yours. Here are some ideas for execution:

1. Some bathrooms are little. Try laying tiles diagonally ...
... to create the illusion of space, and make the room feel larger.

2. Contrasting grout can add dimension to your tile. For example, try a light colored grout with a darker tile, or vice versa for an added element of design to your bathroom.

3. Tile is generally used for flooring and shower walls in the bathroom, so try using it in an atypical way, like for a shower bench or soap holder.

4. Try adding a mosaic look to your shower. You can do the whole wall, or just an accent trim depending on the look you want to achieve.

5. Explore the different mediums. Glass tiles provide a totally different look than natural stone. Both are durable, and both can be eco-friendly, if you use recycled glass. A combination of the two can also create a unique and stylish look. For example, big natural stones on the floor combined with a small glass tile mosaic backsplash for the sink can easily create a spa-like look that makes you just want to relax. Natural stone is durable and easy to clean, and can make an ideal flooring solution for any bathroom. It’s less slippery than ceramic tile, making it perfect in a high traffic area where water is involved. When sealed properly, natural stone can provide a lifetime of beauty.

6. Adding a colorful backsplash can provide just the right amount of pizzazz to your bathroom.
