The gallery includes examples of each approach, making it easier to compare how tile color, material, scale, and layout change the overall atmosphere.

White is not the only option for a small bathroom. Light marble, warm wood, soft gray, sea green, teal, and blue can all work successfully when the palette remains controlled.
