Statement Tiles & Patterened Backsplashes

Create an impressive bathroom with statement tiles in striking patterns. We love the beauty of a patterned splashback or statement shower showcasing beautiful workmanship and superior tiles. Keep things monochromatic with patterned tiles in black, grey and white. Or add a touch of colour with an oceanic inspiration of blue hues. Take a look at this setting from Tile Africa. They have therefore gone out of their way to show us how a simple backsplash can elevate even the smallest space. Renovating your bathroom?
