Highly durable with modern aesthetic value, slate tile is an optimal choice for your bathroom tile. With an uneven rocky surface, slate tile pieces are unique as they create an original design for your floor, bathtub/shower surround or backsplash. Combine textures to build a slate design suitable to your bathroom decor.

Total Slate
Fully transform your bathroom using slate from wall to floor. Slate works well for your bathtub surround, floor, sink backsplash and walls. Choose different colors and patterns of slate for the walls and floor, but select matching slate patterns for the backsplash and bathtub areas. Copper slate is a great option for the walls as it can be accented with multicolored pieces of slate to create a backsplash. The floors should be transformed using dark gray slate.

Contrasts
Combine charcoal-colored slate with iridescent mosaic tiles for a modern-looking backsplash around your vanity. The small mosaic tiles and large slate tiles should be arranged with the mosaic tiles forming a border around each slate tile. Choose a light-colored iridescent mosaic with tan or silver accents to create a dynamic contrast on the wall. In the shower surround, add the slate and tile design in a checkerboard pattern. Instead of placing the mosaic tile pieces around each tile of slate as a border, assemble the mosaic tiles in a square identical in size to the slate tiles and alternate each square for a creative checkerboard effect.

Southwestern Decor
Surround turquoise slate tile pieces with mahogany wood accents on your bathroom floor. The mahogany wood accents may be in the shape of a diamond or cross so that the tile pieces fit easily around each accent. Add the wood accents in a random pattern around the bathroom. The result is an eccentric floor design suitable for southwestern-style bathroom decor.
