Japanese people are known to have a different approach to home design than most Westerners. Contrast this with American bathrooms, which are often larger than Japanese ones, and have bright white or pastel-colored walls and lots of chrome fixtures. Japanese bathrooms are also often tiled in the traditional Japanese style, which can look pretty luxurious when done well. Trends are cyclical, meaning colors and styles that were in vogue in the twentieth century are making a resurgence. Vintage hexagon tiles are starting to appear in modern designs like this chic white and gold bathroom designed by Alison Victoria.

Neutral tones are the backbone of a modern, minimalist bathroom, but keep the space interesting by layering tiles of varied shapes and materials. Rectangular marble tile is cut with a stripe of thin ceramic tile in a deeper but analogous hue. Put a twist on tile by making the grout part of the color scheme of the room. Black grout matches the door and tub in this bathroom and calls attention to the herringbone tile on the floor. Plank-style tiles laid in a herringbone-pattern create V-shaped rows that add depth and motion to a bathroom floor.
