So – read to the end of the blog for some elegant tile inspiration that will help you create your dream shower space …

Modernise your shower enclosure

For a contemporary aesthetic, one of the latest trends is the piano tile, a thin rectangular tile with the look of piano keys, hence the name. This slimline tile is incredibly stylish and has a chic, elegant look that will add instant modern appeal to your shower.

The Piano Grey Mosaic Sheet has a modern elegance and a versatile grey tone.

The Piano Grey Mosaic Sheet is a designer mosaic tile with a gloss finish and attractive grey tone with speckled detailed for added texture and visual interest. As a colour which looks great paired with various other shades, grey is very versatile and therefore a great choice for your bathroom. It also has ongoing appeal and doesn’t date easily, so these tiles will retain that subtle elegance going into the future.

Suitable for walls, the Piano Grey Mosaic Sheet can be laid with the tiles in vertical format, as pictured, to get that classic piano key look, or you could lay them horizontally if you preferred.

Another graceful grey tile which will give your shower space an air of elegance is the Oxford Grey Rectified Polished Porcelain Tile. This large-format tile has a rectangular shape and a smooth gloss finish which is easy to wipe clean.

With a marble-effect design, the light-grey tone is shot through with white veining detail which gives it that all-important refined appearance. These are tiles which will add instant luxury to your shower and the neutral colour palette will once again retain its classic elegance going forward, while also being incredibly easy to pair with other colours and bathroom-ware.

With rectified edges, these also give the tiles a more precise finish and means they can be laid more closely together, with minimal grout lines. This creates a more seamless, flowing aesthetic which, again, creates an elegant effect. Made from hard-wearing porcelain – which is also a less porous material, so ideal for showers – the Oxford Grey Tiles are a great choice overall.

If you prefer a brighter colour palette for your shower, then the Onyx Turquoise Polished Rectified Tile is another large-format tile with a marble-inspired look which will certainly add elegant style. Again, these tiles have rectified edges, so can be laid closely together to create that cohesive look, while the polished gloss finish gives a smooth surface which enhances the luxury aesthetic.

With a turquoise base featuring bronze and white veining detail to give that authentic marble appearance, these tiles will transform your shower into an opulent space and are ideal for creating a feature area.

If you’d like a warming gold tone in your shower which exudes an opulent charm, then the Penny Stoneglass Gold Mosaic Sheet is ideal. With a smooth, circular style these tiles convey effortless elegance and have a subtle sheen, with varying light and darker gold tones running across the sheet. This gives a classic appearance and is ideal for creating a feature wall or alcove/recess within your shower to give a contrasting effect or to add further character.

Made from strong glass, the Penny Stoneglass Gold Mosaic Sheet is also very robust, so is a long-lasting choice of tiling which will last you for years to come. The rich gold tone will also complement a variety of décor and make your shower into a more welcoming, inviting and, of course, elegant space.

Chic floor tiles for your shower

A classic tone which evokes timeless elegance, black is very versatile and can be used alongside various other shades. It also won’t easily date and will add an instant chic aesthetic to any space. It’s therefore an ideal choice if you want to achieve a timeless elegance in your shower area.

The Penta Nero Calatorao Matte Square Non-slip Mosaic Sheet is perfect if you want a stylish floor tile for your shower. With a non-slip surface, the matt finish of this tile means it’s suitable for standing on in the shower without the risk of slipping.

Meanwhile, the dark noir tone with subtle white veining detail for added depth and texture gives it a refined edge. Made from strong glass, this is another robust tile which will stand the test of time, so is ideal for showers which are used regularly. The square shape of these tiles also gives them a modern look which is further enhanced by the contemporary matt finish.

The Brasilia Emerald Polished Rectified Porcelain Tile is another great option for your shower, if you want something more colourful than black. This large-format tile is actually suitable for use as both a wall and floor tile, so you could create an impressive feature shower space by tiling the entire area, as in the photograph, or simply use it in one location.

With an eye-catching emerald-green tone and a cream-coloured base showing through in subtle veining detail, these tiles exude elegant charm, with the polished finish further enhancing their classic appeal. The large-format size and rectified edges also help to create a more seamless aesthetic, while the porcelain material means they’re very robust and hard-wearing.
