If you’re thinking about sprucing up your bathroom and tiling has caught your attention, you may find yourself faced with a difficult choice: do you go for a half tiled bathroom or a fully tiled bathroom? This conundrum can pose a challenging one and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Although we can’t tell you whether tiling half your bathroom is the right answer, we are here to give you some visually pleasing half tiled bathroom ideas to guide your decision. So, as we delve into the wonderful world of bathroom tiles, we may or may not sway you to the half tiled bathroom side….

Contemporary aesthetic

From the wild to the wonderful, bathroom tiles can come in various shapes, sizes, and designs. If you want to add a unique flare to your bathroom, tiling can make all the difference in creating a contemporary feel.

If you're looking to draw attention to one part of your bathroom, half tiling is a must. By placing tiles in a certain spot, for example in or around your shower or even your sink, you can create a true 'statement piece' that draws attention.

Our stunning Amiata Richmond Cream Flat Cut Large Pebble Mosaic Wall & Floor Tiles are the perfect choice if you want to make a statement. The beautiful pebbled mosaic design will whisk you away to the great outdoors, giving a creative visual effect. So, as you indulge in a soothing bath, let your imagination take control as you look down at your tiled floor. You could even imagine you're admiring a beautiful pebbled beach, all from the comfort of your bathroom!

Traditional comfort

Half tiled bathrooms can be great for adding a traditional touch with a modern twist. If you're looking to keep the essence of a classic bathroom suite but don't want to miss out on some contemporary elements, half tiled bathrooms could be the perfect choice for you.

For a truly timeless feel, we recommend choosing neutral colours to make your bathroom light and airy. Ceramic tiles are a particularly popular choice for adding a classic touch, keeping the heart of a traditional bathroom alive while still retaining charm and style.

Marble tiles are also a great way of adding a modern touch to your bathroom. With a beautiful, sleek feel, these luxurious tiles offer the perfect way of adding a classic touch to any bathroom suite.

Bold statement

If you're looking to liven up your bathroom, colour is key. From vibrant blues to a classic white, the colour of your tiles can be the star of the show, leading the way to your interior décor and the overriding theme in your bathroom.

Feeling brave? Why not choose a stand-out pink to create a visually pleasing aesthetic. Here at Plumbworld, we offer beautiful pink glossy that will truly make your bathroom sing with colour. A delightful green will also add a pop of brightness to your bathroom, making it an exquisitely unique room in your home.

If a traditional style is more up your street, a neutral cream can really provide an elegant touch and will boast a sophisticated feel in any bathroom.
