3. Timeless Tradition: Stonehouse Studio Porto Teal Encaustic Effect Tiles

For a light and airy farmhouse styled bathroom, try our Stonehouse Studio Porto Teal Encaustic Effect Tiles.

4. Show-Stopping Shape: Asheville Grey Fish Scale Wall Tiles

Fish scale tiles present a great way to add some pizazz and personality to your bathroom walls. Tiling half way up or half way down is a great way to add this style subtly. Or go for a fully creative feature wall tile from tip to bottom.

Pro tip: Why stop at the shower? These panels look amazing across the whole bathroom, creating a sleek, industrial chic vibe with almost zero effort.

7. Luxury Look, Less Work: Orion Calacatta Waterproof Wall Tile Shower Panels

Love the look of marble but not the faff? These are the panels for you. It's the DIY version of turning up to a fancy dress party in a costume that looks like you tried really hard but actually took ten minutes to pull together. Get the look without the grout (and yes, this is the 21st century).

8. Natural Vibes: Orion Rustic Oak Shower Wall Panels

Want a Scandinavian spa feel without flying to Stockholm? These rustic oak panels give you that woodsy, nature-inspired aesthetic without the risk of turning your bathroom into a soggy log cabin. Basically, you get the sauna vibes without the sauna issues.

Pro tip: Throw in a potted plant or two, and you’re practically halfway to a zen retreat (minus the odd rubber duck, but who’s judging?).

9. Go Big or Go Bold: Showerwall Bromelia Bathroom Acrylic Waterproof Decorative Wall Panel

If your bathroom isn't making a statement, what’s it even doing?

Want to bring a bit of Gatsby into your life? This art deco-inspired wallpaper will have your bathroom feeling like a scene from a 1920s cocktail party — all class and just the right amount of drama. Pair it with some gold fixtures, because when it comes to art deco, more is definitely more.
