How to Use Tiles to Create a Feature Wall in Your Bathroom

Even though it's a room with a functional purpose, your bathroom can also benefit from the same design features used in other rooms of the home. One great example is the feature wall. After all, why should your bathroom walls be boring? The teams at Dream Home have been incorporating this design trend into their newly completed bathrooms. Here are some ideas on how to use tiles to create a focal point that consistently draws attention.

Although you might not think of your shower as a good place for an accent wall, it can easily be turned into an eye-catching feature with vibrant tile. You won't regret choosing a tile that you adore and that will make a statement because the shower is already the bathroom's natural center point.

Handmade-looking tile, such as this painted polka dot tile, can give the impression that your entire bathroom has been tastefully decorated. To truly bring attention to it, the secret is to choose a fully see-through glass shower panel.

Accent walls don't always have to be striking or colourful. Choose a neutral accent wall made of a natural material, like stone, for a more understated look. Because of the texture, the final effect will be a calm setting with a little of extra intrigue.

If you don't have a shower, don't worry! You can still create a fantastic feature wall with a bathtub alcove. The alcove's three sides can each have a statement tile that you chose, making if look as a single accent wall. Mosaic tiles are perfect for designs that involve curves, like alcoves, because they are small enough to wrap around the surfaces with ease.

When used creatively, patterned tiles may make a stunning feature in any bathroom. Hexagon tiles are one excellent idea. Use them only for the shape, or mix and match two different colours for a strikingly eye-catching effect.

You can also lay metro tiles in out-of-the-box patterns to create a unique wall. They are the ideal splashback surrounding the sink and vanity, and we promise that they will become the bathroom's eye-catching focal point.

Why not pair your tiled feature wall with a rendered one to add additional visual interest? For help, tips and ideas you can visit your local Highgrove Bathrooms store - we have 50+ locations Nationwide.
