Dramatic to Serene: 10 of Our Favorite Uses of White Tiles

There’s a reason white tile is eternally in style. It creates a blank slate against which you can create anything from a colorful maximalist escape to the bright, all-white monochrome look that works so well in modern bathrooms and kitchens.

White tile—whether it’s cement tile, Zellige tile, Casablanca Carrara or handmade tile—is also highly versatile. It looks great anywhere from kitchen backsplashes to shower walls.

Here are our 10 favorite uses of some of our best-selling white tiles: Snow 4 “x4” Zellige, Snow 2″x6″ Zellige, Natural White 2″x6″ Zellige and Casablanca Carrara.

A Serene Walk-In Shower Encased in White Zellige

We love this peaceful walk-in shower created by Lyrd Interiors using our 4″x4″ Zellige tile in Snow. Our handmade Zellige is among the best and most popular white tiles for bathrooms we sell, thanks to its cool-toned snowy white shade and uniquely irregular texture.

The built-in bench—also tiled in Zellige—and roomy wall nooks for storing shower products are both beautiful and functional.

A Fully Outfitted Wet Room With Gold Fixtures

If you’re more of a bath than a shower person, why not create your own wet room featuring a luxurious freestanding bathtub and shower fixtures? Using our 4″x4″ Zellige in Snow, the team at Light and Dwell outfitted this quietly opulent wet room with shiny gold fixtures and a stunning tiled entry arch.

A Snow-White Kitchen Flooded With Natural Light

Our Snow 4″x4″ Zellige also happens to work just as well in the kitchen as it does in the bathroom. @mif_design used them to encase entire walls of this bright and sunny kitchen. The texture of the handmade tiles provides the perfect surface for the abundant natural light to bounce off, enchanting the eye.

A White Kitchen Backsplash With Dove Grey Cabinets

Our 4″x4″ Zellige in Snow also looks great against painted cabinets, like these in soft grey from Making Highview Home. It provides the perfect blank canvas for monochromatic looks as well as more colorful rooms.

A Snowy Kitchen Backsplash With Dark Wood Beams

Our Snow White Zellige also comes in a 2″x6″ rectangle shape, making a perfect backsplash material, as seen in this stunning minimalist kitchen from Vivir Designs. The crisp, bright white handmade tiles contrast beautifully with the rich dark wood beams on the ceiling.

A Natural White Kitchen Backsplash With Light Wood Accents

In contrast to our Zellige tile in clean white Snow, our Natural White Zellige has more beige and gray tones for a slightly more rustic look. For example, our 2″x6″ Zellige in Natural White pairs perfectly with the light wood tones of this kitchen by @buildtxsolutions, creating a classic and timeless Scandi-chic vibe.

A Dramatic Walk-In Shower With Freestanding Tub

Our Natural White 2″x6″ Zellige also makes an ideal bathroom or shower tile—as this absolutely breathtaking walk-in wet room oasis by Bean Co Homes proves. Imagine stepping into this spa-like oasis for a steamy shower first thing in the morning or slipping into the freestanding tub for a long, relaxing evening bath.

A Classic Marble Subway Tile Backsplash

Prefer the look of marble tile to handmade Zellige? Our Casablanca Carrara is a favorite of designers and homeowners alike due to its crisp white base and subtle gray veining, as seen in this stunning kitchen by The Lived In Look. And just like our Zellige tile, no two slabs of Casablanca Carrara are the same, so you’re guaranteed a distinctive look in your space.

A Powder Bathroom in White Penny Round Marble

Our Casablanca Carrara marble tile also comes in a charming 1″ penny round style often used on bathroom floors, although it also looks stunning on bathroom walls, too! Check out this take by Kathryn Lilly Interiors, which pairs the tiny tiles against a wall mirror with a sleek matte black frame.

A Crisp White Marble Backsplash Against Navy Blue Cabinets

We’ll top off our top 10 list of the best white tile looks with this show-stopping kitchen created by Lake and Lumber. Melissa paired our beautiful Fishscale Casablanca Carrarra against striking navy blue cabinetry with brushed brass fixtures, proving how well marble tile works against bold colors and other shades of white.
