Bathroom Tile Idea - Use The Same Tile On The Floors And The Walls

We’ve been over the benefit of using tiles in your bathroom many times – they’re resilient, they bring in color, they’re easy to clean, and they add a sophisticated look to your space.

One of the more distinct ways you can include tiles in your bathroom design is to use the same tiles on the floors and the walls. It creates a cohesive look and can make a bold statement if you choose to use a bright color. Here are 14 examples of bathrooms that have used the same tiles on both the floors and the ceilings.
