One step inside these 13 bathrooms and it’s hard not to think of waves and cool, splashing water. If that’s a scene you’d love to enjoy every day, maybe consider sea glass blue tile for your next bath renovation. Take a break, reminisce on your last beach day and wade through these images. Then let us know in the Comments which one is your favourite.
1. Wooden beauty in a sea of blue
The wood-sided tub floats along a sea of light blue tile in this London bathroom. The slight colour variation on each tile gives the illusion of gently flowing water.

2. Turquoise surrounds
Two shower heads emerge from a wall of long, glass tiles. The relaxation doesn’t stop there in this serene wet room in San Francisco. The wooden door on the right leads to a sauna, and a wooden tub sits across from the shower heads.

3. Easy, breezy backsplash
Four rows of blue-grey tiles create a dreamy backsplash in this California bathroom. The design team especially loved the reflective quality of the glossy tile, which gives the room a little sparkle.
And if you look closely at the reflection in the mirror, you can see that the design team continued the watery tile trend in the shower. These cheerful blue shades counterbalanced the dark cabinets and made the kids’ bathroom a little less serious.

4. Retro Hollywood
The square blue-green tiles instantly grab your attention, but it’s the details that really make this Los Angles home a retro, beachy gem. A thin trim of vines and florals flows between the top rows of square tiles and combines the colourful and black tile in one small space. The rest of the room sticks to a white-and-silver palette, letting the tile be the focal point.

5. Masterful mix
Small and large tiles cover the walled surfaces of this London bathroom, and each tile gives off a vibrant turquoise glow. The small tiles, in a mix of greenish hues, cover the vanity that houses the toilet’s plumbing, sink and shelves for extra towels. To the right, large-format tiles create a colourful showering space. Look into the vanity mirror and you can see that another, more textured, tile fills the wall across the room.

6. Basket of blues
At least four colours of blue subway tile are scattered across the main surfaces in this London bath. The mix of tiles, all with a bright white grout, gives this room a calm, clean feel.

7. Glossy-tile goals
These statement-making tiles have even more of an impact when they cover an entire room. This is the type of space that will have you reminiscing about a great vacation and wanting to turn on a beachy tune while you bathe under a rain shower head.

8. Mermaid masterpiece
Arched tiles create a scaly pattern up the side of this tub that calls to mind a fish or the tail of a mermaid. The design team took that watery look to the next level by covering the walls in a pale blue tile and finishing it off with a thin line of bright blue near the top of the shower wall.

9. Ocean swim
When you walk from the beach out into the water, the water beneath you gets cooler and darker in appearance. The design of this Italian bathroom mimics that look, with dark blue tiles on the floor and starting up the wall, followed by a swath of light blue tiles. The design team finished off the tiled spaces with a textured trim.

10. Peaceful reflections
Large, reflective tiles help bring the sun and views into this Miami bathroom. The tiles cover every inch of wall space, including inside the shower. The room is anchored by a reflective tub that’s perfect for soaking and taking in ocean views.

11. Under the sea
This room almost feels like it’s under water. Its wall of deep blue tile glimmers in the natural light. The antiqued faucets and rack of plants reinforce the underwater look.

12. Shimmering stream
A strip of tiny blue tiles creates a stream across this Vancouver sanctuary. The flowing water look is amplified by the fact that the tub water literally flows from the blue tiled wall.
