A well-placed feature tile can completely transform your bathroom, adding personality and style while highlighting the room's best elements. Choosing the right wall for this design statement is essential to creating a balanced and visually stunning space. Whether you're looking to make a bold statement behind the vanity or create a serene focal point in the shower, the placement of your feature tile can set the tone for the entire room. In this blog post, we'll explore the best walls to highlight with feature tiles and how to integrate them into your design for maximum impact.
1 | The wall you see when you first walk in
This is a great option as you get the full impact of the feature tile as soon as you walk in. However, I wouldn't put a feature tile there if the majority of the wall is taken up by a window or large/tall joinery like a linen cupboard. This will distract and take away from the feature tile.
2 | The vanity wall
The vanity wall is one of the most popular places to do a feature tile. It's likely that you will go to the vanity every time you're in the bathroom, so the tile can be enjoyed often. Due to the vanity and mirror/shaving cabinet taking up large areas of the wall, you need to consider the scale of the tile, particularly if you don't have much wall space on either side to continue the feature tile onto. If you are after a larger tile or a large pattern like a herringbone, doing this just at the vanity is not going to give you the full impact.
3 | The shower
The shower wall is another popular option as it is likely a large unbroken wall that can work well with all tiles and patterns. There are a few options for a feature tile in your shower, depending on your layout. You may want to wrap the tile around all 3 shower walls, or just the back wall, or you can add a ledge and tile only below or above the ledge.
4 | The bath
The bath is often a place of relaxation, which makes it a great spot for a feature tile. If you have a bath in a hob, you can choose to do the feature tile on the hob or just behind it. With a freestanding or back-to-wall freestanding bath, you can take the feature tile to the whole wall behind or you can add a ledge and tile only below or above the ledge. However, please note that if there is a large window behind the bath, this will distract and take away from the feature tile.
5 | All walls
You don't have to just choose one wall for the feature tile. If you want to go bold, you can always tile all walls. Another option is to divide the walls horizontally (1200mm and 1500mm are popular heights for this) and do the feature tile only to the bottom or top part of all walls only.
