The Tile House: Metro Tiled Bathroom Inspiration

Modern bathrooms call for sleek, contemporary finishes with a sophisticated edge. No better way to achieve a streamlined bathroom than with metro tiles – from the floors to the walls and more. Here we share some of our favourite metro tiled bathroom inspirations to help you achieve the look for yourself…

Decked out in white subway tiles

White subway tiles create a bold yet beautiful backdrop in the bathroom. We love the subtle pattern as these tiles work together to add a modern geometric look to your bathroom walls. You can choose to tile just a section of your wall or a backsplash, or you can make a real statement with an entire wall decked out in these beauties.

Let your fixtures inspire

When choosing sleek sanitaryware for your bathroom, it is important to select tiling to complement the look. A modern metro tiled shower or wall will effortlessly offset beautiful fixtures. Take for instance this striking bathroom (featured below) with a quirky black stripe as an urban and edgy addition to the space. Paired with beautiful bold mosaic flooring and you have a wonderfully fresh and inspired bathroom for family or guests to enjoy!

This bathroom is evidence that metro tiles can work in both modern and traditional bathroom settings. In fact we love the versatility of white subway tiles and they blend in with industrial schemes, as well as the more rustic, minimal and elegant styles.

Spice it up

White metro tiles are timeless and have been used for decades. The reemergence in modern bathrooms means this continues to be a worthy bathroom investment. You don’t have to settle for a uniform look, however. Check out this funky bathroom (below) featuring individual black tiles for added contrast and a quirky modern look. It’s a great way to spice up an otherwise plain bathroom with a little elegant touch.
