Install a feature tile wall to your bathroom (or ANY room in your home) to add a modern touch or just a pop of color. Marble, slate, ceramic, porcelain, glass mosaics… the possibilities are endless. Tile walls are durable, easy to clean and attractive. However, what works on the wall might not necessarily work on the floor. Wall-only tiles cannot bear much weight, so they cannot be used on floors. On the contrary, there is no reason why you cannot use floor tiles on your walls.

Best Tiles for Walls 

ceramic tile

Ceramic: 

Ceramic tiles have been used in shower stalls for decades, and they are a popular choice for flooring. Mosaic tiles are an excellent choice for bathrooms, and they come in a wide array of colors and designs. You can use these tiles for flooring or walls, but make sure to keep slip resistance in mind with flooring.

Porcelain tile

Porcelain:

Porcelain tile is a lot like ceramic, however, it is fired at a greater temperature. Both are made from a clay mixture; however, porcelain is considerably stronger. Another advantage of porcelain is that it has through-body construction, which means you will not see color changes from a chip. It is another popular material for shower stalls.

natural stone tile

Stone:

A great choice if you want something different in your bathroom, stone tiles should be towards the top of your list. While there are over a dozen stone styles found in bathrooms today, marble, travertine, slate, granite, and limestone are the most common. There are not as many colors offered as ceramic tiles, but the available textures and patterns make up for that. Stone will give your bathroom a distinct style.

It all depends on the tile and pattern you choose. A feature wall is a good and straightforward way to add visual appeal to your bathroom or any room in your home. With so many tile possibilities, designing a feature wall with tile can be extremely fun.
