14 Midcentury Modern Bathroom Tile Ideas

Midcentury modern had its heyday in the 1950s and early 1960s. And now, the recent rise in retro fascination has cast this iconic aesthetic back into the spotlight, making it all the rage...yet again! Ready to embrace this on-trend look? Well, your bathroom is a great place to get started. Statement-making geometric tile — on the wall or the floor — adds dimension and instantly changes the vibe of your space. Ahead are 14 midcentury modern bathrooms that aren't afraid to let their beautiful tile shine.

Black and white done right! The interplay of the crisp subway tile walls and the darker, more masculine hexagonal flooring in this sun-drenched Australian oasis is simply striking — not to mention, totally timeless.
