In bathroom remodels, subway tile and glass mosaics continue to be popular choices among homeowners. But there are many new options now available – specifically, those that include texture and unusual shapes. The Barbara Barry Collection from Ann Sacks has a modern flair but with universal appeal.

Hand crafted materials, like Heath ceramic tiles, are also becoming popular. These pieces show subtle variation from tile to tile, giving your project a warm, personal look. Tiles can even be made to order, meaning you can choose the exact color, shape and finish.

Finally, there are new natural stone options available. Travertine tiles from Walker Zanger provide a solution for homeowners looking for natural beauty with a modern, contemporary feel.
