Blue Tile Ideas for the Bath:
Below are examples of how to use blue tile in the master bathroom, secondary bath, and powder room.
1. Blue Tile Floor
Hints of blue, grey, and white blend throughout the contemporary pebble style master bathroom floor - with deeper blue tiles integrated around the tub and shower.
Ceiling-height tile in the shower is a custom home touch.
2. Blue Tile Surround on a Curved Tub
This master bath tub rests inside the open concept shower. Mixed tile sizes create contrast throughout the bathroom: long faux wood floor and wall tiles blend with mini mosaic wall and tub patterns.
This contemporary show includes his and hers shower heads and block window glass.
3. Blue Tile Around a Mirror
This kids bathroom feautres blue tile in the vanity and shower room. A thin listello accent frames the mirror and window. Linear patterns run through the floor and across the shower walls.
Blue and grey tile combinations are popular inside master, guest, and kids bathrooms.
4. Blue Accents in a Tub Surround
This master bathroom features a more subtle shade of blue in the tile - to accent the bright, baby blue walls. The neutral tile tub surround softens the room.
The built-in tile shelf below the window offers a place to decorate or store bath time essentials.
Although light blue can be a more traditional bathroom shade, the no-door archway opening between the master bedroom and bath keeps this space feeling contemporary.
5. Blue Shower Tile
A guest or secondary bathroom is a great place to add floor-to-ceiling tile - in bold color choices.
Many homebuyers opt to integrate tile upgrades in the most visible bathrooms, such as a guest suite bath or shared downstairs bath.
6. Blue Mini Mosaic Tile Patterns
This bathroom - a dual entry, kids' Jack and Jill layout - uses a mini mosaic tile pattern in the shower.
This bathroom is custom designed as a specially adapted shower room - with tub inside - for ease of use. 8 x 10 white field tile runs across the ceiling, in addition to the walls and foor.
7. Subtle Blue Tile Accents
Using slate blue tile -- mixed with grays, browns, and other earth tones -- is a great way to create a neutral bathroom without the popular integration of high contrasts of white, black, and gray patterns. This blend of colors feels more traditional than a bright blue design.
8. Slate Blue Tile Tub Surround
A vertical tile pattern with slate blue tones emphasizes the curved front of this tile tub surround.

It is no wonder that trends for today’s bathrooms are of great interest to those building a new home or even remodeling.
In review of the strongest trends for bathrooms, keep in mind the words “soothing” and “tranquil”.
Even though they are a little pricier than their water jetted cousins, air jetted tubs are very popular due to the fact that you can use soothing aromatherapy oils and bath salts in these tubs. 
Along those lines, showers are becoming larger and the addition of body sprayers, hand sprayers, and rain-shower heads, previously most commonly seen only in luxury homes, are growing in popularity for use by everyday folks as manufacturers are coming out with more and more affordable models.
