Marazzi Recommends
Why Choose Porcelain Stoneware for the Shower?
Porcelain stoneware for the shower is the ideal choice for those looking for durable, resistant flooring and cladding that is easy to maintain.
This material is known for its moisture resistance, which prevents water absorption and resists mold and mildew formation. In spaces like the shower, this characteristic is essential to ensure a quality and long-lasting cladding. Additionally, porcelain stoneware is waterproof and non-deformable, resistant to temperature changes and wear, without compromises.
Shower tiles in porcelain stoneware are also extremely easy to clean, perfect for those who want a hygienic and easy-to-maintain room.

How to Choose Tiles for the Shower Enclosure?
|
Thanks to the wide variety of finishes and textures, you can choose between glossy tiles, which amplify the brightness of the room, or matte and satin surfaces for a more elegant and natural look, adaptable to any style.
When choosing a shower cladding, it is important to consider not only the aesthetic aspect but also the functionality of the tiles. If you want a modern and continuous effect, large format tiles are the ideal choice for the shower enclosure, as they reduce the number of joints and create a uniform and clean look. If instead, you prefer a decorative touch, mosaic shower tiles can add movement and personality to the floor and walls. Finally, the choice between light and dark colors depends on the type of atmosphere you want to create: white, beige, and light grays expand the space, while dark and bright colors like blue and green give an elegant and intimate effect, perfect for those seeking a sophisticated and enveloping design. |
Inspirations and Ideas for a Shower with Design Tiles
Color plays a fundamental role in the design of the cladding, but the choice also involves considerations about the size of the shower.
In small showers, it is advisable to use light-colored tiles to visually enlarge the space, while in larger showers you can dare with darker shades and larger formats.
Relax and Well-being with a Spa Effect
Stone effect tiles in porcelain stoneware are perfect for creating a natural and relaxing atmosphere in your shower. By combining these claddings with wood elements and plants, it is possible to recreate an environment reminiscent of spas, where comfort and well-being are the protagonists.
This solution is ideal for those who want a calm and welcoming atmosphere, where every moment becomes an opportunity for pure relaxation.
Minimalist and Modern Shower
For those who prefer an essential and contemporary style, large format tiles with reduced joints are the perfect choice. The final effect will give a clean and linear appearance, which can be amplified by choosing matte surfaces and neutral colors.
The right combination can enhance the shower room by highlighting its simplicity and elegance: an excellent choice for those seeking a modern and minimalist design, without sacrificing functionality and practicality.

Floor-Level and Walk-In Showers: Elegance and Functionality
Floor-level and walk-in showers are a modern choice that gives a clean and harmonious design to the bathroom. These types of showers allow for a visual continuity effect, where the flooring extends seamlessly between the shower area and the rest of the bathroom.
This type of shower also ensures greater accessibility, creating a barrier-free and comfortable environment for those with specific needs or reduced mobility.
The choice of R10B non-slip porcelain stoneware tiles ensures safety, while the application of large format tiles, which reduce the number of joints, keeps the shower enclosure hygienic and easy to clean.
Shower Flooring: Which Tiles to Choose?
For the shower floor, it is essential to choose tiles that not only reflect the style of the bathroom but are also practical and safe.
Tiles in stone effect porcelain, wood, or cement are excellent solutions for creating a welcoming and functional environment, depending on whether you prefer a more rustic or classic style.
Another aspect to consider when choosing tiles is the format. Small tiles are perfect especially if you opt for a mosaic-decorated shower or if you are looking for a particular effect through textured reliefs. On the other hand, large tiles offer a more contemporary look, minimizing joints and creating a greater sense of continuity in the room.
Perfect Grip for a Safe Shower Floor
To ensure the safety of the shower floor, it is essential to choose tiles with an R10B coefficient or higher, which ensure good slip resistance.
The innovative technology StepWise by Marazzi, applied to collections like Mystone Limestone and D_Segni Blend, allows for obtaining non-slip surfaces without roughening the tile design or altering their softness to the touch.
How to Match Shower Cladding with the Rest of the Bathroom?
To achieve a harmonious result, it is essential to match the shower cladding with the rest of the bathroom.
For lovers of minimal style, choosing the same porcelain stoneware for the shower, floor, and wall claddings helps create a fluid and coherent space. In these cases, marble effect porcelain tiles never go out of style, giving spaces brightness and elegance.
If instead you want to diversify the areas of the bathroom, you can opt for different color accents and textures, playing with similar shades and tones to create a harmonious and delicate transition between one surface and another.
