Whether you’ve been reimagining your bathroom’s look for a while now or it hasn’t crossed your mind at all, you’ve found the article that’s going to get your renovation wheels turning. Natural stone is a widely-loved material used for kitchens, patios, pathways, and even bathrooms. It can be cut and arranged in many ways, but it’s generally fashioned into tiles when it comes to bathrooms. The color and texture of the stones are what make them so attractive, providing a luxurious atmosphere that often emphasizes a closeness to nature. 

Despite stone-tiled showers’ incredible look and durable makeup, some are quick to discount natural stone tiles thinking they are too difficult to maintain. However, good quality tiles installed properly shouldn’t require much more effort than your bathroom does now. Giving your bathroom a natural stone facelift is sure to add that priceless personal touch and a unique aesthetic that stays on-trend for many years to come.

Wet rooms like this one sometimes use stone tiles to accentuate the luxury space. Here, a homeowner opted for large, horizontally positioned moody slate tiles that darken the room for a spa-like experience. They have even matched the sink to the walls, which helps tie the look together.

The gray home aesthetic has faced some backlash over the years, but this stone-tiled bathroom does it right. The look is minimalistic throughout, and the cohesive tones create a sense of luxury. The marbled tiles, in particular, add understated drama using a variety of gray shades that give each large section even more dimension.

Who said tiles have to be a particular shape? This shower’s irregularly cut black stones certainly do not conform to normal standards. Instead, they crack and spider away from one another as the light gray grout outlines their shape. A darkly hued stone-tiled bathroom like this is surely a welcome sight. 

Accent walls and textured walls can be a great addition to a bathroom. Here the homeowners used both of these styles to create an eye-catching design. The dark gray-black stones arranged here contrast the white walls and countertops while matching the black cabinets positioned below.

Here is another outdoor shower option that keeps things uniform yet unkempt. The bare stone separated by light gray grout work is weirdly picturesque. Consider keeping things quaint for a rustic and peaceful feel when showering off after hours at the beach.

Our eyes love symmetry and distinguishable patterns. The square-shaped slate tiles perfectly aligned in this shower create a pleasing atmosphere that meshes well with the glass block partition. The glass blurs the light cast on the stone tiles. With the rainfall shower head, we can only imagine showering here feels like washing up in a waterfall.

Limestone is not the only lighter natural stone option. Granite comes in many interesting shades and cuts that are perfect for a shower. Typically, granite is used for countertops because it is durable and resistant to many cleaning products. It only makes sense to use it in your bathroom, where it is continually subjected to similar substances.

We love limestone tiles in the bathroom because they are durable and resistant to mold growth and bacteria. In this bathroom, the homeowners chose to marry their bathtub and shower together with limestone tile walls that brighten and warm up the space in shades of beige.

We love this cabin-inspired bathroom that covers its enclosed shower in slate tiles. The wood paneling on the walls and ceiling brings out the warm brown tones of the natural stone. It’s reminiscent of using a sauna cabin in the cold forests of the PNW.

The contrast between the shape, color, and texture of these two stone tile applications brings out the best qualities of each of them. The larger gray stone tiles brighten the lighter mosaic wall, and the gray shades complement one another nicely. Trying to imagine one without the other just feels wrong.

The sandy color and texture of the limestone used on the walls of this bathroom pair perfectly with the blue hues of the pebble tiles and vanity. Giving beach-house chic, we can imagine the smell of sea salt and sunscreen just looking at it.

Made from an ancient fossilized natural stone, this stone tile shows off a soil-like color palette with shades of brown, gray, white, and beige. The differences in its color lend itself to a variety of design schemes. These tiles would look great in an earthy, boho, or beachy bathroom aesthetic.
