What types of silver bathroom tiles are available?

From vintage-style, bevelled edge, mirror tiles to larger format silver leaf tiles and delicate silver glass mosaics fused with metal, there’s a surprisingly large choice of metallic tiles to choose from.

As well as metallic options, you can explore the huge range of silver-grey tiles available. From sleek porcelain to sparkling natural stone tiles, you can add a touch of silver in subtle ways too.

If you want to create a luxurious-looking bathroom, adding statement silver tiles is an inspired choice. Depending on the size of the area that you want to tile, you may wish to opt for smaller mosaic tiles or go bolder with dramatic large-scale mirror tiles.

What colours go with silver tiles?

Silver is one of the hottest interior colours and it sits incredibly well next to black, white and grey.

If you want to add some colour to a silver colour scheme, shades of blue, green purple and pink will all work well.

Silver Bathroom Tile Ideas

If you’re keen to transform a bland bathroom into a luxurious haven, have a look at these imaginative argentate bathroom tile ideas:

Tile a shimmering, silver mosaic splashback

It’s hard to think of a more beautiful way to add interest to a neutral bathroom than adding a wall of silver mosaic tiles.

Reflective mirror mosaics will bounce light around, making a small space appear larger and brightening up a larger room. Silver will work well with any colour scheme but the contrast between stark white walls and warm wood is especially striking.

Open up a small bathroom with mirror tiles

If you have a bathroom nestled under the stairs, or an en-suite that’s lacking in natural light, adding a wall of mirror tiles can be a savvy move. As well as looking elegant, silver mirror tiles will reflect light around the room and make the space appear much bigger and brighter.

Metro tiles are always a good choice, and there are so many attractive layout options to choose from. You can also go for mirror mosaic tiles or larger format tiles depending on your preference.

Fit a statement mirror tile wall

Add a hotel-style vibe to your bathroom with a statement mirror tile wall. A wall of mirror mosaic tiles laid in a herringbone pattern not only looks beautiful but will effectively open up a small space.

You might not want a fully reflective wall facing your toilet, but you can get creative with tile placement and layout and combine it with other materials to create the best outcome in your bathroom.

 

Add a simple mirror tile splashback

A clever way to add interest to a bathroom is by changing up the splashback. Inexpensive and quick to do, using silver mirror tiles is practical and stylish.

Mirror tiles can be left ungrouted in areas that don’t get wet, but if they are going to be exposed to water, it’s best to choose a neutral, silver-grey coloured grout.

Do something different with textured silver tiles

Liven up your bathroom and go for a more unusual look with decorative silver glass tiles. Whether embossed or combined with real silver leaf, textured tiles will add a completely different dimension to your bathroom.

Textured tiles are perfect for creating feature areas in a bathroom and make particularly pleasing splashbacks.

Mix and match antique mirror tiles and modern glass mosaics

Can’t decide on which silver tiles to use in your bathroom? You can combine two different styles to incredible effect. Try mixing ornate, antique silver mirror tiles with bright silver mosaics for an eye-catching feature wall in your bathroom.

Add silver shine with natural stone tiles

If you love the idea of silver tiles but full-on shiny silver is a bit much for you, try adding interest with subtler natural stone tiles. The crystals in natural slate splitface tiles will shimmer and sparkle in the light, creating a magical feel in a bathroom.

Splitface tiles are an effective way to create a more rustic look and you can combine them with a wide range of smoother tiles to create different looks.

 

Keep it simple with silver-grey tiles

Neutral, silver-hued tiles are a great alternative to bright, shiny silver. Always elegant, you can choose a wider range of tile styles and sizes if you stick to plainer tiles, you can always combine silver-grey with mirror tiles to create more of an impact.

Larger-format tiles are perfect for creating a streamlined look in a bathroom as they have fewer grout lines. They work equally well in large or small spaces and are a good choice if you want to tile the entire room.

Silver bathroom tile tips

● Remember that silver doesn’t have to mean metallic or shiny, you can choose silver-grey ceramic tiles or opt for natural stone or stone-effect porcelain tiles instead.
● As silver is closest to grey in hue, it’s quite a neutral colour that will go with most colours and materials, including wood.
● If you’ve chosen silver mirror tiles for your walls, make sure you keep them looking their brilliant best by giving them a regular wipe-down with a glass cloth.
● If you just want to add a hint of silver to your bathroom, try tiling a small splashback or creating a silver mosaic wall panel between plainer tiles. You can also tile shower or bath wall indents with glittering silver tiles.
