There is a reason small tiles keep turning up in bathroom design: they let grout become part of the pattern rather than something to hide. A contrasting grout can turn a plain hexagon or metro shape into a graphic feature, while a closely matched tone lets a soft green or pink tile do the talking on its own.
This scale comes into its own on a splashback behind the basin, across a full feature wall, or tucked inside a shower niche, where a bit of extra detail is especially welcome. Green, blue, and pink are the shades our customers reach for most in bathrooms, and all of them suit this smaller format beautifully. Tiled surfaces resist moisture far better than paint, which makes small tiles a practical choice as well as a decorative one, provided the floor itself uses a textured or naturally finished tile rather than anything high gloss, since polish turns slippery underfoot the moment it gets wet.
