How To Choose Tiles For Different Areas Of Your Bathroom?
Because bathrooms work hard, different areas often need different tiles:
Main bathroom floor
Choose bathroom floor tiles with a suitable slip rating for wet areas and a finish that’s easy to mop. Larger formats can minimise grout lines and make the room feel more open.
Showers and wet zones
Smaller tiles or mosaics give better grip and help the water fall to the waste more easily. Many people keep the same colour as the main floor and change to a smaller size in the shower for a seamless look.
Bathroom wall tiles
Wall tiles protect plaster from moisture and make cleaning much quicker around vanities, baths and toilets. Gloss and satin finishes work well on walls as they reflect light and are easy to wipe down.
Feature walls and niches
Subway tiles, kit‑kat mosaics or patterned bathroom wall tiles are often used behind the vanity or in the shower niche to add interest without overcomplicating the space.
Bathroom Tile Materials Explained
Understanding the different tile materials helps you choose the right option for each area of your bathroom.
Porcelain tiles
Porcelain is a strong, dense material with low water absorption, making it ideal for bathroom floors and showers. It handles daily wear well and comes in a wide range of colours and finishes. Many people consider porcelain the best choice for the main bathroom floor because it offers long-lasting performance with minimal upkeep.
Ceramic tiles
Ceramic tiles are a popular choice for bathroom walls. They are lighter than porcelain, easy to install and available in a variety of shapes, patterns and gloss levels. Ceramic tiles are also simple to clean, which makes them perfect for vanities, splashbacks and feature walls.
Natural stone tiles
Natural stone provides an organic, premium and luxurious look that adds warmth and texture to a bathroom. It does require sealing and a little more care than porcelain or ceramic, but the natural variation is a major drawcard for many homes. Natural stone works well in feature areas or as a statement floor when maintained correctly.
Mosaics and small format tiles
Mosaics and small format tiles are often used on shower floors, niches or feature walls. Their smaller size helps water flow towards the waste and provides extra grip underfoot. They also add detail and interest without overpowering the room.
What to consider before buying bathroom tiles?
Slip rating
Bathroom floors need tiles with an appropriate slip resistance rating for wet areas. Most residential bathrooms suit a tile with enough grip to feel safe underfoot while still being easy to clean. Your tiler can confirm the right rating for your layout.
Maintenance and cleaning
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are low maintenance and can be cleaned with a mild detergent. Natural stone needs a little more care and should be sealed to help protect it from water damage, moisture and soap residue. Gloss finishes brighten the room and wipe down easily, while matte finishes hide water marks.
Grout choice
Grout colour can influence the overall look of your tiles. Matching grout creates a seamless, modern feel, while contrast grout highlights patterns like subway tiles. Epoxy grout is a durable option that stands up well to moisture and is easier to clean than standard grout.
Sealing requirements
Porcelain and ceramic tiles do not need sealing, but natural stone does. Sealing helps protect the surface from water and stains and keeps the tile looking its best over time. Your tiler can advise on how often re-sealing may be needed.
Underfloor heating compatibility
Most porcelain and ceramic tiles work well with underfloor heating. If your bathroom includes a heating system, check tile thickness and material to ensure even heat distribution and proper installation.
Bathroom Tiles FAQs
Bathroom floor tiles should be rated for wet areas, have enough grip when wet and be easy to clean. Many people choose matte or low‑sheen porcelain tiles for the main bathroom, then switch to a smaller size or mosaic in the shower to improve grip and water run‑off.
Only if the product is clearly marked as suitable for floors. Some tiles can be used on both floors and walls, but many bathroom wall tiles are too smooth or not strong enough for floor traffic. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidance and your tiler’s advice.
Matte or low‑sheen finishes are usually better for bathroom floor tiles because they provide more grip underfoot. Gloss tiles work well on walls, splashbacks and feature areas where you want extra light reflection but don’t stand directly on the surface.
Often, yes. The shower floor usually benefits from a smaller tile or mosaic to help the water fall properly and add extra grip. Many people keep the same tile on the main floor and switch to a different size or shape only within the shower zone.
Most tilers suggest ordering a little extra to allow for cuts and breakages. The percentage can vary depending on the room layout and tile size, so it’s best to confirm with your tiler before you place the order.
