Tile is a popular choice for bathroom flooring because it is very versatile. Tile comes in every color, shape, and material imaginable. Tile flooring is also an excellent choice for bathrooms because most materials used are water-resistant, making them perfect for the high humidity environment of a bathroom.

Here are a few tile materials worth noting:

  • Natural stone tile such as marble, granite, slate, and soapstone is used across a range of styles. Their natural colors and organic textures make for interesting patterns. Their downside tends to be price and maintenance: natural stone costs more than most other materials, and it tends to require more frequent and specialized maintenance.
  • Porcelain and ceramic tile are the most popular and budget-friendly choices. They come in a dizzying array of sizes, patterns, and colors. They're also generally easy to install, clean, and maintain over the years. They are also moisture-, stain-, and scratch-resistant.

Ahead, get some inspiration for making a tile floor work for your budget and style preferences.

    Traditional Bathroom With Marble Tile

    Denise Maloney Interior Design​

    This classic traditional primary bathroom by Denise Maloney Interior Design shows you the possibilities of marble tile. An inset with an interlocking curve pattern is surrounded by a large subway tile. The floor marble has very little veining compared to the countertop or tub; this gives a little contrast to the whole and avoids an "everything is white" effect.

    About This Term: Primary Bathroom

    Many real estate associations, including the National Association of Home Builders, have classified the term "Master Bedroom" (or "Master Bathroom") as discriminatory. "Primary Bedroom" is the name now widely used among the real estate community and better reflects the purpose of the room.
