Creative Striped Bathroom Tile Inspiration
Stripes are a timeless design element to incorporate into a tile scheme and can offer a bit of visual interest without complicating the tile layout. Playing with tiles with a striped design or using two tile colors to create stripes can add a lot of design impact with this simple pattern. From wide stripes to thin lines and borders, there are many variations to the classic stripe and options for every style of bathroom. Find some of my favorite striped bathroom tile ideas below.
Whether you're renovating a powder room or designing a full ensuite, striped bathroom tiles offer a clever way to add style and structure. Vertical stripes can elongate walls and enhance ceiling height, while horizontal stripes help widen narrow rooms—making them ideal for compact or oddly shaped layouts. From classic black and white lines to soft tonal stripes in zellige or porcelain, there are endless ways to interpret this motif for both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Stripes are a great visual tool for emphasizing height or width, so they can be especially helpful in smaller bathrooms to expand the space. I love the variety of looks these bathroom ideas provide, from high-contrast marble stripes to more tonal looks with zellige tiles.
