Wall tiles can be a way to upgrade your basic shower surround. You might just want to encase your entire bathroom in these this kind of material or just match a bathroom rug that you love. On the other hand you might already have a few of these tiles from previous homeowners from previous decades that you just don’t know what to do with now. This is really the chance to bring in a high end material and look no matter your budget.

White is always a classic choice for this kind of purpose. It will relate back to the toilet, sink and bathtub. However, you might be a little bit concerned about cleaning or you just want something a little bit different. In this case, you could go with more of a natural stone look that would include different kinds of gold or gray depending on the kind of material that you chose. Plus, this will have a lot of different color variations as well and veins just by its nature. This will really get a sense of character into your space and ensure that you get a custom look. It will be a little more expensive than just a plain ceramic tile. You also need to talk to the people at the tile store to make sure that you’re getting the right material for your project.

You might want to use a traditional white tile in your shower surround and then just carry the same feeling throughout the space. An interesting ways to do this would be to use tile in the place of wainscoting. You can really just use it on half of the wall and then top it off with the trim tile. This is a way to use basic materials in unexpected ways. Then you can still get a lasting look that has a very unique presence to it.
