Latest Bathroom Tile Design Trends

Design trends in 2026 are not just about aesthetics but also practicality. Here is a list of top tile designs that you can consider for your luxury bathroom:

1. Anti-Skid Floor Tiles (Safety First)

Safety always remains the primary concern in spaces like bathrooms that are prone to slipping accidents. Standard glossy or polished-finish tiles can be very slippery when wet. Therefore, it is advisable to strictly avoid glossy tiles for the bathroom floors. You can install them on the walls, but for floors, these tiles are a big ‘No.’ You should go for matte or rustic finish floor tiles.

For maximum safety, the anti-skid floor tiles from the Maxgrip collection o Endura by Johnson would be perfect. These tiles are available in two sizes, including 30x30 cm and 60x60 cm, and a wide variety of designs and colours. You can choose any one that goes well with your bathroom’s layout and interior design.

2. Wood-Look Tiles

A wooden floor always looks classy. However, it is not at all practical to install actual wood tiles in the bathrooms. If you want that wooden floor aesthetic without installing natural wood planks, you can go for wood-look tiles from H&R Johnson. This design is suitable for the floors as well as the walls and backsplash of the bathroom.

For the floor, either choose matte finish wood-look tiles or go for a relevant design from Maxgrip anti-skid tiles collection. If you are looking for wood-look tiles for the bathroom backsplash or accent wall, you can consider the 20x100 cm and 20x120 cm wood-look tile planks from Porselano by Johnson For wall dado, explore the 30x60 cm and 30x45 cm ceramic tiles collection of H&R Johnson, which also has some wood-inspired designs for the bathroom walls.

3. Plain Subway Tiles

The legacy of plain ceramic tiles never goes out of style. If you want that classic minimal look with a wall dado covered with plain solid-coloured ceramic tiles, you must check out H&R Johnson’s Heritage collection. This collection has small plain ceramic tiles available in two sizes, including 10.8x10.8 cm and 10x30.2 cm, and a variety of colours. These tiles can be installed in a variety of ways. You can create colour-block patterns using 2-3 different coloured tiles or keep it monotonous yet creative with brick pattern, herringbone pattern, or chevron pattern. It will give your bathroom a minimal yet elegant look.

4. Digitally Printed Wall Tiles

The digital printing technology has brought endless design possibilities in the tile industry. H&R Johnson makes the best use of this technology by creating hundreds of different tile designs to suit every space, style, and design preference. Whether you want floral designs, marble-look tiles, geometric tiles, or anything else, you can find it under H&R Johnson’s 30x60 cm and 30x45 cm ceramic tiles collection. This collection even has some tiles with 3D patterns that can add a fun vibe to your bathroom and make it uniquely amazing.

Additional Tip:

To achieve a luxurious look, you should focus on minimalism or a balanced look. Do not overdo the design with too many bold colours and patterns of tiles. If your floor tiles have a bold design, keep the walls minimal, and vice versa. Another thing that you can do is to keep the entire bathroom minimal and choose unique tiles for the backsplash wall or the wall dado.

Selecting The Right Wash Basins and Bathroom Fittings

Among all the sanitary fittings of a bathroom, the wash basin plays the most important role in its aesthetics as well as functionality. The commode should be chosen primarily on the basis of comfort and functionality. But while choosing the wash basin, you also need to be careful about the aesthetics. Here is a list of wash basin designs that go well with luxury-themed bathrooms along with some relevant options from Johnson Bathware:

  1. Countertop/Tabletop wash basins: They are installed over a countertop and give a modern look to your bathroom.

  2. Vanity wash basins (if you are installing it over a storage vanity): These are similar to the countertop basins, but are installed over a storage vanity rather than a simple countertop.

  3. Wall-hung wash basins: These are installed on the wall and do not require any additional support. These are suitable for small bathrooms.

  4. Half-Pedestal Wash Basins: These wash basins come with a half-length pedestal that hides the ugly pipework and gives a clean look to your bathroom.

  5. Coloured Wash Basins: These are suitable for bathrooms that have a bold luxury theme. If you want something beyond basic white ceramics, you should go for coloured wash basins from Johnson Elite.

Pair With the Right Fittings

The tiles and sanitary items are the major elements of a bathroom, but its look is incomplete without the right fittings and accessories. Choose modern faucets, showers, and bath accessories that are of high-quality and offer a great aesthetic appeal. For the wash basin, you should choose a single or double-lever basin mixer. For the shower area, choose a high-quality wall-mounted double-lever mixer tap and a premium rain shower from Johnson Bathware.
