Striped Tiles Make a Splash in Bathroom Design

Stripes, a major trend in home interiors, are now making waves in an unexpected space: the bathroom. According to experts at The Baked Tile Company, an independent tile specialist, striped tiles are poised to become the next big thing in bathroom design.

“Striped tiles are brilliant for adding visual interest and versatility to spaces throughout the home, and we are starting to see this move into more functional spaces, including the bathroom, where trends take a little while longer to catch up,” said Lesley Taylor, Interior Designer and Founder of The Baked Tile Company.

The versatility of stripes lies in their ability to manipulate spatial perception. “Vertical and horizontal stripes can make rooms feel taller or wider depending on the layout,” Lesley explained. “It’s the perfect trend for the bathroom, which can be one of the tightest spaces of the home.”

For those preferring a more understated approach, subtle stripes using different shades from the same colour range can create a distinctive yet subdued look. “Metro tiles are brilliant for achieving a striped interior scheme, and because of their evergreen popularity, there is plenty of choice on the market,” Lesley said. “Homeowners can choose two different shades from the same palette to achieve a distinctive stripe that doesn’t overpower the space.”

However, for those with a bolder aesthetic, Lesley encourages embracing the trend wholeheartedly. “Trends come and go, but your bathroom is a sanctuary you’ll enjoy for years to come. Create a bathroom that will bring daily joy, and if that means going all out, go all out.”

Striking colour combinations can amplify the impact of striped tiles. “Teaming a striking colour with a neutral white will immediately make an impact and amplify the stripes,” Lesley said. “As will unexpected colour combinations.”

The Baked Tile Company’s Lava range offers a myriad of colours for homeowners seeking to inject a bold dose of colour into their striped bathroom scheme. “Homeowners looking to inject a bold dose of colour can mix and match to create a scheme that meets their personality,” Lesley added.

With The Baked Tile Company’s extensive range of tiles, homeowners can explore the striped tile trend and create a bathroom that reflects their personal style, whether subtle or bold.
