What tiles are used in luxury bathroom designs?

Luxury bathrooms typically feature marble-look porcelain slabs, natural stone tiles, and book-matched vein patterns that flow across walls and floors. Sizes of 1200x2400mm or full slab formats create dramatic, uninterrupted surfaces.

How do I achieve a book-matched tile effect in my bathroom?

Book-matching involves mirroring adjacent tiles so their veining creates a symmetrical, butterfly-wing pattern. This works best with large-format marble-look porcelain tiles that have consistent vein direction.

What grout and finish suit a luxury bathroom?

Use epoxy grout in a tone close to the tile for near-invisible joints - this keeps the focus on the tile surface. Polished or lappato finishes enhance the natural veining and amplify the premium aesthetic.

How do I incorporate accent tiles in a luxury bathroom without overdoing it?

Use decorative or mosaic tiles as a single feature band, niche liner, or shower floor detail rather than covering entire walls. A narrow strip of gold-toned or handcrafted zellige tiles adds richness while keeping the look refined.
