The right tile can completely transform a bathroom. From the floors beneath your feet to shower walls, niches, and backsplashes, tile brings color, texture, and character into one of the most-used spaces in your home.
At Bella Tile & Stone in Lake Geneva, WI, we help homeowners, designers, and builders select bathroom tile that balances beautiful design with the practical needs of everyday life.
Whether you're remodeling an existing bathroom or selecting materials for a new home, here are some of the most important things to consider.
Porcelain is one of the most versatile choices for bathroom tile.
Its durability and low water absorption make it particularly well suited for bathroom floors and showers. It's also available in an enormous range of styles—from understated neutrals to porcelain that captures the character of natural stone.
Large-format porcelain can create a clean, seamless appearance, while smaller formats can add texture and detail.
For homeowners looking for something with natural character, marble, limestone and other natural stones can create beautiful bathroom spaces.
Every piece of natural stone has its own variation in color, veining and texture, giving the finished room a character that's difficult to replicate.
Natural stone does require more consideration around sealing and maintenance, which is why understanding where and how the material will be used is important before making a selection.
Bathrooms are one of our favorite places to incorporate mosaics.
A mosaic can become a focal point on a shower floor, inside a niche, behind a vanity, or as an accent alongside a larger-format tile.
The key is restraint. A thoughtfully selected mosaic can add dimension without making the overall bathroom feel overly busy.
Looks matter, but bathroom flooring also needs to work for the space.
Consider durability, maintenance, grout lines, finish and slip resistance when comparing options. The size of the room also matters—a tile that looks beautiful on a sample board can feel very different once installed across an entire floor.
Visiting a tile showroom in Lake Geneva allows you to compare materials, finishes and sizes together before making that decision.
Your bathroom tile should work with the entire room.
Consider your vanity, countertops, plumbing fixtures, paint, lighting and cabinetry alongside your tile selections. Even subtle differences in undertones can change how materials look once they're placed next to one another.
For bathrooms using multiple tiles, we recommend viewing all of the materials together whenever possible.
A bathroom can have its own personality without feeling disconnected from the rest of your home.
Repeating subtle elements—such as material, tone, texture or finish—can create continuity between bathrooms, kitchens and other tiled spaces.
This is especially helpful when selecting tile for a new build or larger renovation where several rooms are being designed at once.
At Bella Tile & Stone, we offer a carefully curated selection of bathroom tile for Lake Geneva homes, including porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, mosaics and specialty tile.
