From timeless classics to contemporary marvels, discover fresh inspiration for your bathroom floor with these 10 top tile ideas.
Hi. I’m Ruth, the resident Interior Designer here at Victoria Plum. Today, I’m inviting you to step into a world of elegance and functionality, as I explore some of my favourite bathroom floor tiles.
Bathroom floor tiles play a pivotal role in shaping the overall look and feel of your bathroom for several reasons. Beyond their obvious practicality, these tiles serve as a foundational design element, setting the tone for the entire space.
But it’s not all about style. By choosing the right bathroom floor tiles, you’ll contribute to a sense of cleanliness, durability and personal flair, making them a critical component in crafting a harmonious and inviting bathroom environment.
Of course, you already knew all that! So, with this in mind, it's time for me to do less chatting and get on with the job of inspiring you…
1. Hex tiles for a bewitching bathroom
If I’ve learnt one thing over the years, it’s that you don’t need witchcraft to conjure up a magical bathroom floor. Hex tiles, like these from our Calcolo Moonbeam range—inspired by the latest bathroom trends—will surely cast a spell over friends and house guests alike.

With the Barbie movie being a somewhat surprising hit at the box office in 2023, pink interiors have undergone a renaissance in the past year. Why not discover more pink bathroom ideas in our latest blog post?
2. Make it marble-ous
For sheer opulence and luxury, you really can’t beat marble for your bathroom. However, if the genuine article is a little beyond your price range, you can always “rock the look” with these Storm white marble-effect bathroom floor tiles from Calcolo.

3. Pretty patterns for feature floors
Featuring unique and eye-catching designs, I simply can’t get enough of feature floors, especially in bathrooms! Patterned bathroom floor tiles, like the Faulkner vitrified ceramic tiles below, are crafted for just this purpose, making a great impact in traditional and contemporary settings alike.

The black and white design is perfect if you’re looking to achieve a monochrome style bathroom, while the vitrified ceramic offers a precision tile that is highly durable and water-resistant.
4. Be “flecks”-ible with your floors
Terrazzo tiles have proved a big hit with UK homeowners (as predicted in our latest bathroom trends) and, if you’re all for jumping aboard the odd bandwagon, this is certainly one I’d join you on! Featuring the signature speckled stone appearance that Terrazzo is famed for, these Flecked bathroom floor tiles from Calcolo are simply magnificent.

Made from hardwearing porcelain and featuring a gorgeous matt finish, why not complement the look with our Turin Terazzo accessories range?
5. Elevate your bathroom
Looking to take your bathroom to the next level? Split-level bathrooms are a recent trend, elevating certain elements, like a freestanding bath or walk in shower, and providing distinct zones for your daily routine.
If you’re looking to hit the heights with your design, you’ll certainly need a suitably stunning floor. With the Cosmic copper effect lappato textured bathroom floor tiles from Calcolo, I’ve found the perfect solution.

Featuring a distinctive copper-coloured sheen, which replicates the appearance of aged metal, these textured tiles are ideal for industrial style interiors, among others.
6. Refresh with mint
While trends may come and go, green bathrooms never seem to go out of fashion. If you’re thinking of introducing this popular colour to your bathroom, look no further than our mint green hexagonal bathroom floor tiles from the Moonbeam range.

And, if green doesn’t signal go for you, it shouldn’t mean stopping your search for the perfect bathroom floor tiles. You’ll be pleased to know that, along with rose pink and mint green, our Moonbeam tiles are also available in sea blue and grey.
7. Rock your world with stone-effect tiles
An exceptional choice for any bathroom, the Fuji glazed porcelain bathroom floor tiles from Calcolo are ideal for organic interiors.
Combining the stylistic appeal of natural raw stone with the practical benefits of durable and low-maintenance porcelain, these stunning tiles are guaranteed to produce a sophisticated and timeless appearance.

With the elegant look of natural stone, these low-maintenance and hardwearing tiles offer a practical, long-lasting solution for your bathroom floor. They’re perfect if, like me, you appreciate the beauty of natural stone, but prefer the convenience of modern materials.
8. Bring the outdoors indoors
If you’re pining for genuine wood floors but can’t face the maintenance issues which come with them, maybe it’s time to turn over a new leaf. With these Pine oak bathroom floor tiles from Calcolo, you can bring the outdoors indoors with a touch of natural beauty.

Wood-effect tiles are a great choice for bathroom floors, not least due to their low maintenance nature. At 300mm x 1200mm, these tiles can be laid like floor boards, creating a modern, spacious feel. And, if you have any left over, these particular porcelain tiles can also be used outdoors as part of your next gardening project.
9. Geometric, grey and gorgeous
If it feels like your eyes are going hexagonal, don’t worry… It just goes to prove how much I adore these hex tiles from Calcolo!
With a natural stone effect design and durable porcelain construction, these bathroom floor tiles are both hardwearing and beautiful. Hexagonal tiles are great for creating visually interesting patterns that really stand out, which is just another reason why I can’t get enough of them!

But, if grey really isn’t your thing, our hexagon tiles come in a wide variety of different colours.
10. Sophisticated stone
Last but certainly no means least, I have picked out the Meridien white stone effect bathroom floor tiles from Calcolo for their sheer beauty and elegance. Made from glazed porcelain, they are incredibly tough and versatile, fitting seamlessly with both modern and vintage interiors.

Choosing your bathroom floor tiles
Feeling inspired? Great! However, before you hit “buy”, here are some important factors to consider when choosing your bathroom floor tiles:
- The size of your bathroom: The size of your bathroom will determine the number of tiles you need. Use our handy tile calculator which you’ll find on all tile product pages.
- The style of your bathroom: Choose tiles that complement your chosen style, whether it’s timeless and traditional or chic and contemporary.
- Anti-slip rating. If your bathroom is used by young children or elderly people, you may want to keep an eye out for the “R rating” of your tiles. You can find out more about this in our guide to anti-slip tiles.
- Your budget: You’ll find a variety of bathroom floor tiles available at a wide range of price points.
