Designers are going bananas over cement tiles — and for good reason. These vintage tiles, which have been popular in Europe for eons, give your bathroom an authentic, handmade feel. Because of their large size and heft, concrete tile provides a bigger background for large-scale patterns, allowing you to play with color and geometry in a way smaller tiles cannot. Yes, they can be trickier to install — but done right, they'll turn even the tiniest bathroom into an unforgettable masterpiece.
