4 Clever Visual Tricks With Bathroom Tile

In this episode of Houzz TV Live, editor Mitchell Parker shares tips from design and building professionals for using bathroom tile to make a space appear larger or smaller than it is. Install rectangular tile in a vertical pattern to make a bathroom look taller. Try tiling the bottom half of the walls in a darker color than the top to bring a spacious bathroom down to a smaller scale. Create a destination shower with bold tile at the end of a narrow bathroom to help emphasize the length of the room rather than the width. And consider installing elongated rectangular tiles in a horizontal pattern to visually expand a tight space.
