Whether you want it to blend in with your space or make a statement all its own, your tub surround can set the tone for the entire bathroom. Durable, easy-to-clean and waterproof bathroom tile<\/a> protects your walls in style. Read on for 10 chic and unique tub surround ideas to suit your aesthetic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The blue, grey and white tones in the Blue Twilight Brick tile<\/a> create a waterfall effect on the inside wall of this stunning tub surround. Shiny and reflective, the glass tile shimmers as the light hits it, brightening the space and stimulating the senses. The glossy white tile<\/a> on the outside walls provides another reflective surface, adding depth to the space. Shop glass tile<\/a> to find styles as sparkling as your personality. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fashionably homey, modern farmhouse design celebrates elevated simplicity and a connection to rural roots. This bathroom, designed by I SPY DIY<\/a>, embodies those ideals with a sleek surround featuring the Metro Bianco Gloss subway tile<\/a>. The right-angled herringbone pattern adds dynamic movement to the space, enhanced by contrasting black grout. Blush-painted walls and a gossamer shower curtain infuse the space with a romantic sensibility, but the versatile tile design makes it easy to update by swapping out accessories. If this cozy-chic style is your (homemade) jam, check out 11 Charming Modern Farmhouse Bathroom Tile Ideas<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n Ultra-luxe slab design is often created using a single block of stone, which can be both expensive and difficult to install. Achieve this high-end aesthetic on a more modest budget with our new selection of porcelain panel tub kits. Each kit includes two 30\u2033 x 64\u2033 panels and two 32\u2033 x 64\u2033 panels that mimic the size and appearance of large pieces of real marble at a more accessible price point. The Calacatta White tub kit<\/a>, shown here, replicates luxurious white marble with bold, realistic veining\u2014delivering refined Mediterranean style for under $1,000 per kit.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n A bathtub surround offers a wide canvas–make the most of it with beautiful and intentional details, like the marble corner shelves and tiled picture frame featured in this elegant bathroom designed by LoPiccolo Contracting<\/a>. The focal point is created by “framing” the Hampton Niles marble mosaic tile<\/a> with a single layer of Hampton Carrara Somerset<\/a>. This exquisite design detail highlights a favorite patterned or mosaic tile that might be overwhelming if used throughout the entire space. The Hampton Carrara corner shelves<\/a> provide stylish storage, eliminating the need for a bulky shower caddy. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is another example of our new porcelain tile tub kits, available in four distinct marble looks: Calacatta White<\/a>, Mastersone White<\/a>, Statuario Nuovo<\/a> and Max Rapolano<\/a> (shown here). The creamy ivory tones infuse the space with warmth and contemporary style. The coordinating 12″ x 24″ Max Rapolano Ivory floor tile<\/a> completes the look, creating a sense of quiet luxury<\/a> and filling the space with rich serenity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Everything is stacked in this sleek bathroom’s favor. The Villa White Gloss tile<\/a> is installed in a vertical straight stack, adding height to the walls and offering a chic, contemporary look. Slightly contrasting grey grout<\/a> highlights the clean lines of this simple layout and provides a visual throughline to the Bronx Acero tile<\/a> in the checkerboard-patterned floor. If subway tile<\/a> is your style of choice, discover the myriad of installation options in our guide to subway tile layouts<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Extending your tub surround to the tub apron creates a unified space that displays your style–even when the shower curtain is drawn. This lovely space, designed by Steph Cotherman Creative<\/a>, features the Argile White Matte wall tile<\/a>. The perfectly imperfect details of the handmade-look tile lend visual texture through purposeful variations in color and edge from piece to piece. The result is an understated grandeur that both soothes and invigorates the senses. Shop our wide selection of handmade-look tile<\/a> to achieve this artisanal aesthetic. <\/p>\n\n\n An expressive patterned tile<\/a> infuses your space with personality in the form of durable and waterproof porcelain or ceramic. Here, the Nikki Chu Zulu Pumice tile<\/a> (inspired by the celebrity designer’s popular wallpaper) brings bold, graphic design to this fashion-forward bathroom. Paired with the Nikki Chu Luxor Pumice subway tile<\/a> on the far wall, the soft beige background and bold hand-drawn-look pattern add decoration while maintaining a neutral space. If you love this eclectic, global style, shop our exclusive Nikki Chu designer collection<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cool and modern, dark grey or black tile exudes sleek sophistication–as evident in this sharply styled bathroom designed by Timber Trails<\/a>. The Imperial Pewter Frame Gloss subway tile<\/a> features a slightly reflective, glossy finish that catches the light and highlights its chic raised “frame” edge. The black tub surround contrasts beautifully with the white walls and white-with-black-polka-dot hex tile<\/a> floor. This simple color scheme allows for styling versatility–a few well-placed colorful accessories would really stand out in this space.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If your shower space is on the short side, you can create the illusion of height by extending your tub surround tile to the ceiling. This elegant shower, designed by Yellow Brick Home<\/a>, takes the Firenze Carrara tile<\/a> up the angled ceiling to draw the eye upward and create a continuous space within the tub and shower area. We love how the marble tile is also used as wainscoting in the main bathroom area.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Updating your space is easier than you think!
