Bathroom wall tiles

Bathroom wall tiles were traditionally a 6x6inch ceramic gloss tiles. Still available today the 6x6inch (15x15cm) now come in many colours and three finishes gloss, matt and satin. 6x6inch bathroom wall tiles were commonly used only as a splashback around the bath and above the basin, with maybe a dado rail to finish the half tiled wall.

Border tiles later became a design feature within many bathrooms. Often two contrasting colours of bathroom wall tiles were used above and below the border running horizontally around the room. Décor tiles were then dotted to break up the solid colour. This design layout is still popular today, Grespania tiles have many ranges that still use this design format.

New modern bathroom wall tile ranges have discarded the horizontal border layout as a decorative feature and have now use vertical stripes of colours, continuous patterned decors or a mosaic tile as a decorative feature instead.
