When designing a bathroom space, one of the key considerations involves your tile selection.

Tiles are an ideal choice for bathrooms primarily due to their practicality and aesthetic versatility. They offer an excellent combination of durability and waterproof qualities, making them resistant to the damp and humid conditions typically found in bathrooms.

Our Ca' Pietra Amethyst Marble Honed Tiles, £114.37 per sq m, features deep striking purple veins for the wow factor feature wall tiles which work wonderfully on floors too.

Furthermore, tiles are available in an array of materials, sizes, colours and finishes, allowing them to complement any bathroom design, from the most contemporary to the traditionally elegant. Indeed, your choice of bathroom tiles can dramatically influence the overall look and feel of the space, making this an important decision in your design process.

Stain resistant tiles, such as our Bert & May Cherry red Porcelain Tiles, £79 per sq m and showcased here with Brighton Stone, can create a statement wall and floor in an instant.


Durability is paramount when selecting which tiles are best for bathrooms. Bathrooms often face consistent exposure to moisture, heat and heavy foot traffic. All these factors necessitate the use of resilient materials that can withstand such conditions on bathroom walls and floors over a long period without exhibiting signs of wear and tear.

Highly durable wall tiles and floor tiles, like ceramic, porcelain or natural stone provide longevity, requiring less frequent replacements that could otherwise disrupt the bathroom's functionality and aesthetic appeal. In addition, durable tiles typically offer better resistance to stains and are easier to maintain, making them a practical choice for a space where hygiene is vital.

Our new Striped collection by Bert & May, £150 per sq m, would look super-stylish in a wet room, walk-in shower or bathroom and features a beautiful matt finish. This showcases the Rhubarb Wide Stripe, Midi Stripe and Skinny Stripe in a clever combination.

Safety is a crucial aspect to consider when choosing bathroom tiles, so slip-resistance is an essential feature. Bathrooms are prone to water spills and condensation, which can create slippery surfaces and increase the risk of accidents.

Bathroom floor tiles

Slip-resistant bathroom floor tiles provide added traction underfoot, reducing the likelihood of accidents and contributing to a safer environment. They are available in various materials, including textured ceramic and stone, providing an ideal combination of safety and style. Therefore, when selecting the best bathroom tiles, considering their slip-resistance is not just about aesthetics or durability but is also a matter of safety and wellbeing.

Why materials matter

Materials significantly influence the performance and longevity of bathroom tiles, particularly in a wet, humid environment. Ceramic tiles, for example, are a highly favoured choice for bathrooms, due to their durability, water resistance and easy maintenance. These features make ceramic tiles particularly suited to withstand the rigours of typical bathroom conditions.
