The 2022 Bathroom Tile Trends That Will Make Any Powder Room Pop

If bathroom tile trends for 2022 show us anything, it's that simple white subway blocks aren't going to cut it (sorry). Interior designers are switching it up this year, forsaking the bland and conventional for bathroom tiles that burst with individuality, which have long been the usual for modern restorations.

1] TRIANGULAR GREEN TILES

Consider a traditional shape when it comes to bathroom wall tile ideas. Is the image in the shape of a white rectangle or a white square? Reconsider your position. Designers are redefining the modern standard by experimenting with new shapes and colour palettes. Green is one of the hottest interior design trends right now, and it's making its way into the bathroom. Green is now trendy in practically every part of the house, including kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms, and it's making its way into the bathroom as well. Don't be shocked if you see more green bathrooms and powder rooms all over your feeds, especially ones with fun forms and patterns to break up the trend.

2] GRID-LIKE TILES WITH CONTRASTING GROUT

Classic square tiles, of course, continue to be popular—albeit with a modern twist. Retro-inspired 4x4 tiles in a grid pattern are popular right now because they feel nostalgic and timeless without being too traditional. Leaned into nostalgia with ceramic square tiles tightly gridlocked along the shower's walls in the bathroom above; it doesn't break the rulebook for bathroom floor tiles, but it adds a twist if you look between the lines.

3] ARCHITECTURALLY TEXTURAL TILES

Classic tiles—flat, right-angled, and glossy—are popular for a variety of reasons, including their ease of installation, ease of cleaning, and compatibility with modern fixtures. However, in a culture that is more drawn to comfort, they can feel sterile. Some designers opt for relaxing textures and surfaces, emphasising three-dimensional surfaces with subtle bumps and grooves that provide relaxation, in accordance with the contemporary trend towards cocooning furniture. It also helps that textured tiles are up to the task.
