Gone are the days of plain and boring bathroom walls. In 2024, we can expect to see an explosion of patterned wall tiles in bathrooms all over the country. From geometric shapes to intricate designs, patterned bathroom wall tiles are set to become a major trend in the coming months.
We’ve rounded up 6 patterned bathroom wall tile trends you can expect to see in 2024.

6 Patterned Tiles Trends to Look Out For
There are countless patterns and designs to choose from when it comes to bathroom wall tiles. Whether you want to jump straight into the deep end and cover your bathroom in patterns from wall to ceiling, or you’re just looking for some accented decorative tiles, we’ve got you covered.
1) Geometric Patterns
Geometric patterns will stay popular in 2024, which we couldn’t be happier about!
But the tiles you use for your bathroom wall don’t have to be patterned themselves. Tiles with interesting shapes can also create beautiful geometric patterns and bring your bathroom walls to life.
Tiles with a strong shape, such as the Hexa Element tiles, can be used to create a geometric interior style without going crazy on the colour. We love these tiles because they boast a striking hexagonal shape, which is quite minimalistic and very modern – making them perfect for any contemporary and minimal bathroom.
The Rhomboid tile collection is another that we expect to be popular in 2024. The rhomboid shape tiles create a 3D effect, which adds real visual interest to your bathroom walls. We love the look of using two different tile colours here, like the pink and steel shades, but a monotonal scheme can look just as stunning.

2) Bright & Bold Feature Walls
For something that really catches the eye, a bright and bold feature wall is a great way to breathe new life into your bathroom for 2024. Because you’re limiting yourself to a single wall, you can go all out with the patterns on the tiles, and it won’t be too overwhelming.
We particularly love this trend because it gives you so much freedom to experiment with different patterned bathroom wall tiles. The Blakeney and Canterbury tiles are ideal for making a creative, loud feature wall with a stunning vintage twist.
The Parks tile collection is ideal for creating a more modern feature wall. This collection comes in 5 colourways: Central, Hyde, Retiro, Stanley and Tiergarden. We think Tiergarden will be one of the most popular options out of these 5 – the monochromatic patterns and shades are very fitting for a modern bathroom but still add a huge amount of character to the room.
There are plenty of tiles to choose from that complement the Parks range, too. We recommend using a plain tile throughout the rest of your bathroom, like the Sirocco tile.

3) Focal Points in Plain Tiles
If you’re not sure about adding colour and patterned tiles to your clinically white bathroom, sticking to a focal point can be a great way to add some character without going over the top. It’s slightly less commitment than a complete feature wall and still looks fantastic.
Some examples of beautiful focal points for 2024 include:
- Floor-to-ceiling colour block
- Tiled wall border
- Bath surrounds
- Splashback
To produce a focal point in your bathroom that doesn’t jump out at you, you can’t go wrong with the Racine or Patine Frio tiles. Both of these tiles offer soft blue patterns that stand out against plain white tiles for a gentle focal point.
For something a little more eye-catching, the Rustic Clay tiles can be incredibly effective. These rustic, handmade-effect tiles can be used to create a colour block focal point or a pattern using different colours.

4) Classic Monochromatic Features
Monochrome pattern tiles aren’t ever not going to look good in your bathroom. Although this style is often used for patterned floor tiles, there’s no reason why it can’t extend to your bathroom walls as well.
For a more luxurious monochrome pattern, the Hexa Terni tiles are excellent – and one we think is going to be really popular for 2024. These hexagonal-shaped tiles feature a subtle marble effect and are available in both black and white to create a truly modern and expensive-looking bathroom.
The Svenska tiles are a great choice for a more classic patterned bathroom wall tiles option. Some of the tiles in this range feature intricate patterns, but we think the Tre-Anthracitca, Tre-Hube, Tre-Humo, and Tre-Jade tiles will be the shades of 2024. These half-and-half tiles give you a surprising amount of options to create different monochromatic looks in your bathroom.

5) Intricate Tiling with Patterned Tiles
Adding patterns to your bathroom wall doesn’t have to mean going over the top with decorative tiles. Intricately patterned tiles can add depth to your bathroom and make a big impact. After all, bathroom tile trends for 2024 are all about making an impression – even if it’s only on a small scale.
The Impression tile (which is quite fitting) makes creating an intricate wall pattern easy, with various shades of grey creating a natural-looking effect on your wall. They also feature a textured finish, which we think is a brilliant way to make your bathroom stand out.

6) Timless Terrazzo Tiles
A patterned bathroom tile design that doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere in 2024 is the classic terrazzo tile. These tiles are the perfect way to add a fun and unique pattern to your bathroom without being overwhelming, making it the perfect choice for a smaller or darker space.
Our Stacciatella Nacre tile is the perfect way to bring a bit of terrazzo pizzaz to your bathroom for 2024. In fact, this is such a versatile tile that you can get away with using it for your floor tiles as well as your wall tiles.
Which Patterned Bathroom Wall Tile Should I Choose for My Bathroom?
Deciding on the tiles you want to use for your new bathroom can be difficult with all the beautiful choices. But to help narrow down your options and make your decision easier, consider these points:
- Determine your budget – Knowing how much you want to spend on tiles can really narrow down your options, and it’s probably the first step you would and should take. Once you’ve got a budget in mind, you can search for tiles within your range.
- Consider the size of your bathroom – Smaller bathrooms look great with smaller, intricately patterned tiles, while larger bathrooms can handle bigger and bolder patterns. On top of that, lighter colours can help to visually expand a small bathroom, whereas darker tiles tend to add more definition.
- Think about the overall theme or style of your bathroom – You don’t want the patterned tiles to clash with the rest of your bathroom, so consider the overall look you want to achieve. If you’re completely stripping out or renovating the room – great! You’ve got a lot more design freedom. But if you’re working with existing flooring and fixtures, make sure your tiles tie everything together.
The best thing you can do to make this part of the process easier is order some tile samples to see how different styles and finishes look in your bathroom in natural and artificial lighting.
