Not only is the bathroom one of the most likely rooms for our guests to visit, but it’s also a space where we relax and unwind in the tub at the end of a long day. So it’s important to get the decor just right. Here are our top 10 bathroom wall tile ideas…
1) Cappella Marble Effect Tiles
Ask any interior designer what the most sought-after stone is, and chances are they’ll say marble. With its elegant, swirling veinings and timeless charm, it brings instant luxury and character to any wall space. But while natural marble is stunning, it can also come with a hefty price tag and high maintenance requirements – think sealing, polishing, and careful cleaning.
That’s where marble-effect tiles come in. These clever alternatives capture all the beauty of real marble, minus the fuss and cost. Our Capella marble effect tile range is a perfect example. Designed to emulate the iconic Catacalla stone with its bold veining and crisp white background, these tiles offer a luxurious look at a much more affordable price point.
Whether you’re styling a sleek modern bathroom or creating a classic feature wall, marble wall tiles from the Calacatta range add elegance and sophistication without breaking the bank. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to maintain, making them a smart, stylish choice for everyday living.

3) Raku Tiles
Bring depth, texture, and artisanal charm into your home with our stunning Raku tiles. Inspired by the traditional Japanese firing technique, these unique tiles blend all four of nature’s elements – earth, fire, air, and water – to create a reactive glaze effect that’s truly one of a kind. No two tiles are ever the same, with each colour offering up to 35 unique variations that deliver a handcrafted, organic look.
These blue tiles are especially striking in a bathroom setting, as shown above, where their moody tonal shifts and glossy surface bounce light beautifully and add a calming, aquatic feel. Whether used on walls, in shower enclosures, or as a standout splashback, Raku bathroom tiles bring a rich, textural quality that instantly elevates the space.
Perfect for those looking to move beyond plain tiles, the Raku range offers an expensive, artistic option for bathrooms that crave colour, character, and a touch of tradition reimagined for modern interiors.

Reclaimed wood is essentially wood that has been salvaged from one setting, and has been re-purposed to create furniture or flooring; giving it a new life. This results in a real cocktail of different colours, finishes and textures; and that’s what gives reclaimed wood its character, and makes it so appealing. Our Wood Effect Split Face Tiles capture all the charm of reclaimed wood, without the massive expense, so we just had to include them in our bathroom wall ideas!
