The trends in bathroom design are extreme. At one of these extremes is the trend that mixes porcelain tiles and finishes without shyness.
To continue with this maximalist trend it is not enough to choose only two finishes; one for the floor and one for the walls, but you can choose a third coating different for eg shower walls or for mixing tiles on one wall.
This trend is the opposite of the one that designs calm and serene bathrooms (spa type) and that opts for invisible cladding (without tiling) and natural as microcements or washable paints.
This tile mix is compatible even with small bathrooms.
One of the advantages of this trend is that the change of colors and design in walls and ceilings enriches the space and brings rhythm and color to the room.
It is also a good way to zoning spaces, such as bathtubs, showers, niches and basin walls or designing skirting boards, skirting boards …
And although you may think that it is a trend only suitable for the bravest, the combination can be between the same tiles but in different shades (even if they are of the same color range), or also the same colors in different tile formats. Something that works very well and that will bring design and functionality to the bathroom.
The mixture does not have to be evident if you choose the same color range as in these bathrooms.
In this bathroom there are three types of tile, one imitates wood and the others in beige tones.

The range of whites and blues is very popular.

In this the blue of the shower serves as a finish on the top of the wall, which avoids the cutting of the tile on the wall of the sink.

Blacks and whites are also a range of colors that allow combinations of different tiles.

Other combinations such as this one from Slow & Chic in which, in addition to the beige of the shower, and the gray of the floor, the herringbone wall mixes gray with black to enhance the movement of the herringbone wall.
