Who says you can’t have a cool bathroom? People spend a heck of a lot of time in their bathrooms, so why not make the most of it and create a bathroom that’s as warm as inviting as the other rooms in your house. The first place you’ll want to start is choosing some colors, and a design theme, such as modern contemporary or ornate Victorian.

Once you’ve decided on a design aesthetic, then you can start the fun part! Picking out the right fixtures and lighting, and of course – the bathroom tiles. Bathroom tiling has become very trendy in the last few decades, with all kinds of tiles being created, from marble to glass. There are an abundance of colors and motifs you can choose from, and more people are choosing moody dark colors to compliment white fixtures, which is a great look. Or you can brighten things up with splashes of color or wild patterns in your tiles.

I’ve perused the world wide web in order to find bathroom tile ideas that I found unique, gorgeous, and flat-out cool, so take a look and see if you find anything here that you could imagine working for you in your bathroom space!

I love the color blue. It’s one of the colors that can always brighten my day, even the darker shades like navy. I love the idea of making blue the theme color in the bathroom. The color reminds people of outdoors, since two of the most abundant things in nature are blue: the oceans, rivers and lakes and the sky of course!

There are lots of ways to bring blue into your bathroom. You can go all out and paint the walls blue, or use lots of blue tiling on the floor, the walls or inside the bath or shower. Or, you can be more subtle and introduce bright blue elements into the space. Blue towels, with a blue bathmat can bring a splash of vibrancy to a white bathroom.

You can also find cute things like vintage blue containers to hold things like toothbrushes and cotton swabs. Blue glass jars look great against the white porcelain of sinks. I’ve hunted down some great images of bathrooms that celebrate this gorgeous, fresh color, so take a look and get inspired!

If you’re lucky enough to live in a warm climate, where the potential to take a shower outside year-round exists, then I don’t know why you aren’t out there right now, basking in the sun and in the warm water of your amazing shower. I have experienced these kinds showers only at a few beautiful tropical resorts, and it was one of the most luxurious feelings in the world. Because I live in a climate that would laugh in the face of an outside shower, I’ve resigned myself to the fact that my own personal outdoor bathtub or shower experience will have to exist only in my dream home.

I’ve collected a whole bunch of images of some incredible outdoor bath and shower designs that will transport you away from your desk and make you wish you were soaking in a claw-foot tub with the sounds of nature all around you. Enjoy!
