Union Tiles: mosaics to marble

From mosaics to marble, you can’t go wrong with a feature backsplash when it comes to making a design statement in your bathroom. Read on for style inspiration from the team at Union Tiles, SA’s premier supplier of luxury tiles for the home.

Go matchy-matchy with your floor and backsplash choices

If you’re remodelling your bathroom and adding new tiles, think about extending your wall tiles all the way to the ceiling to create a statement wall and backsplash or extending it downwards to the floor for a seamless look. The key to pulling this look off is mixing and matching decorative tiles in the same colour palette. For an ultra-sleek look, opt for large-format tiles in a single design for both your floors and walls.

Think about introducing wallpaper to your decor scheme

A tile-wallpaper combo can make for a distinct style statement in a bathroom. Tile the lower half of your walls and top it off with a complimentary wallpaper with a fun design for maximum impact. Slim subway tiles, such as Blue Cuscino, are a great option for this look.

Try terrazzo

Terrazzo tiles have gained popularity over the last year or so for their vibrant colours and patterns that can instantly elevate your space. Even a simple black-and-white design can create a striking effect. The best part? There are numerous colour options available to match any decor style. Union Tiles offers a range of authentic hand-crafted terrazzo tiles, including Trevisano Authentic Handcrafted Terrazzo in Mixed.

Or go the classic route with porcelain tiles

Durable, easy to maintain and available in a plethora of colours, porcelain tiles are a great choice for bathroom splashbacks. For a timeless look, opt for a black-and-white chequerboard design or go mono with navy blue or forest green.

Max out on marble

Nothing beats a beautiful marble countertop and splashback. It screams luxury and is ideal for making a statement in your bathroom. What’s more, you don’t have to go over budget – Union Tiles stocks a gorgeous selection of marble-look tiles, including mosaic and large-format options.
