Start with the Style
When looking to reinvent the traditional tub surround, the first step is to choose the right style. For instance, are you looking to create a bold design that dramatically differentiates the space from the rest of your home? If the bathroom is in your master suite, are you attempting to create a seamless design flow from the bedroom to the bathroom?
Setting your design strategy in place is crucial to making the tile selection process an easy one.

Natural Stone Beauty
Many homeowners opt for the traditional, unique look of marble tile for their bathroom design. With the aesthetic flair produced by its natural veining patterns, marble stands apart from other options.
Marble has stepped beyond its traditional design with the introduction of our stunning Lavaliere™ collection. Antique mirror accents adorn luxurious marble for an unrivaled marriage of the past and present.
You can also achieve the appearance of multiple textures by utilizing slightly different marble colors and a mix of smaller and larger tiles. This will generate a layering effect that's sure to make your design pop.
Follow Your Dreams
Regardless of which tile you choose to design your tub surround, the possibilities are limitless. Think big with oversized tiles to form the majority of your surround, or think small and create a stunning accent wall that's made up of only mosaics.
Mix colors and styles to make your tub surround the unique focal point of your bathroom. This beautiful combination, featured on Bargain Mansions, is Raine™ & Fonté™, two natural stone collections that offer mosaic tile as well as traditional tile sizes. Choose a style and run with it, allowing your design preferences and goals to guide you along the way.
