Patchwork tiles

There are soooooo many choices when it comes to tiles... and the one Im posting about today isn't anything new, infact it has been quite popular in Eurpoe for eons... patchwork tiles!

Patchwork tiles are a collection of tiles of any theme, colours, shapes, florals, neutrals, monochrome or anything you like, that are mixed and matched to enliven the wall.   They create a very happy, relaxed, carefree look, great for floors, walls,  splashbacks, feature walls or feature floors!

Check out some of these fabulous patchwork tiles for some inspiration.

The Block Glasshouse - Bathroom Reveal

I was super excited about the bathroom reveals last night on The Block Glasshouse! The week of bathroom renovation showed some really clever design choices and styles by the five couples and the final result didn't disappoint. I couldn't believe how classy and luxurious each of the bathrooms were, there are elements in each that I love.... and I cant even pick a favourite they were all so good!

What do you think?

Starting with the winning bathroom, Chris & Jenna...

I love the grey concrete tiles of the wall and floor with the feature wall of matt black hexagonal tiles. This goes so elegantly with the black tapware . I loooove black tapware for a bathroom.

 If youre interested in this bathrooms product list have a look here.

Darren & Dee chose a simple yet very classy provincial style bathroom.  I think those floor tiles are beautiful, and the granite vanity adds glamour and sophistication. If you want to check out their product list go here.

The biggest bathroom belonged to Max and Karsten.  They designed a very high gloss fit out, my favourite item being the Salta pendant lights, which when on (photos don't show it) they look fabulous!  I also love that they used a different tile in wall niches, it's a great effect.

You can find the products they used here.

My favourite part of the boys, Shannon and Simons bathroom, was the stunning wall and floor tiles. Hexagonal tiles are certainly on trend at the moment but these elongated ones add some difference to this popular style... Im also a fan of the Issy vanity, its Scandinavian style timber warms the room and the beautiful curved crisp white basins flush with the front of the vanity show clever design.

Looking to find their products? GO here.

 Michael and Carlene had some aspects of their bathroom I LOVED but some I didn't like so much.  Their feature wall of black and white herringbone tiles was my favourite! so elegant and intricate, it looked stunning (although the photos don't do it justice). I also loved their black fittings for the tape are.

What I didnt like so much was the shower up the stairs on the platform. It does look interesting but practically I wouldn't like this in my bathroom.

Geometric Tiles

Geometric patterned tiles are really popular at the moment, if you watch the renovation reality TV shows you would have seen them used on The Block and House Rules...
 I'm a huge fan of them, I think they are a great look for contemporary bathrooms as they add drama and style.

 There are a tonne of prints, patterns, sizes and colours available, my personal opinion is that the bigger sizes work best for a feature wall only, not for all walls as you don't want the pattern overtaking the bathroom....but the smaller mosaic geometric tiles can look great for all walls or just a feature wall, depending on the size of your bathroom.

These pictures below show how fabulously geometric tiles can work! I love them! They are on my wish list for my bathroom! would you try something like this in your bathroom?

The Blocks 2014 contestants Kyle & Kara used large honeycomb or hexagonal tiles in their first bathroom. I love this modern look together with the concrete colour floor tiles that is softened with the timber vanity.

Smaller hexagonal tiles can look fantastic too, in the bathrooms below they have been used throughout the bathroom, which works well because of their size and light colour.

Loving this fantastic bright bathroom with modern black and white tile pattern.  It goes so well with the gold accents of the mirror and vanity handles, very chic.

The beautiful soft tones of these herringbone tiles add real glam and sophistication.

There are so so many other geometric tile choices available, these are just the tip of the iceberg... go have a look at your local tile shop and see if there's something that you love , maybe you can use it in your bathroom or ensuite?
