Anti-Slip Tile

Before getting into timeless bathroom tile ideas, it’s important to note that R11 Anti-Slip Finish tile is a great option for shower floors as it provides safety, without compromising style.

To receive the R11 Anti-Slip Finish certification, the tile first must pass internationally-recognized testing. A person must be able to maintain balance while standing on the tile at a 27-degree angle, even when the floor is wet. This finish is ideal for wet areas, providing safety so you can enjoy peace of mind while you and your family use your bathroom.

Porcelain tile is an excellent choice for timeless bathroom options for floors in and outside of the shower and for the tub surround area. It is resilient and available in various colors and designs, making it easy to find the perfect match for your décor and style preferences. Some of our most popular options include Cemento Cassero porcelain tile, Paloma ceramic tile (pictured above) and Digitalart rectified glazed porcelain tile (also pictured above).

Another timeless bathroom tile idea for flooring is to go with large-format tile. Whether the tile is porcelain or natural stone, large-format tile generates interest because each tile is larger, so there is less grout to clean and maintain. It is also eye-catching and distinct, as it creates a more unified look in your design. Our Citylife and Terrazzo porcelain tile are excellent large tile options that will create a bathroom space unique to you!
