Marazzi Recommends

The variety of bathroom tiles allows you to create different styles and settings as desired, also depending on the area to be covered.

Porcelain stoneware and ceramic are a practical and hygienic solution for a space used every day: they are moisture-resistant and easy to clean, with surfaces and effects that enable you to express a wide range of styles.

Some collections also feature technology Puro Marazzi Antibacterial, which adds a specific antibacterial protection to the ceramic surface’s characteristics.

Choosing the surface, size, and finish of bathroom tiles

In bathroom design, floors and walls serve different purposes, but together contribute to the perception of the space. The choice of surface, size, and finish allows you to define both practicality and the aesthetic character of the room.

Floors, walls, washbasin areas, and showers have different requirements and can be designed in continuity or by combining various surfaces, colors, and sizes. Before considering the aesthetic effect, it is useful to evaluate the room’s dimensions, presence of water, intended use, and desired final result.

For the floor it is important to choose products that are expressly suitable for installation on the floor and to carefully assess the surface’s features, especially in areas most exposed to water.

The Marazzi collections dedicated to wall coverings also include solutions with reduced thickness and surfaces featuring the artisanal aesthetics of the Crogiolo line. Collections like Crea allow you to create textured and three-dimensional walls, Boiserie interprets the wood effect with vertical installation, while Lume introduces color and brightness to surfaces.

Both size and finish affect the perception of the space. Large slabs can create surfaces with a more continuous look and a less visible presence of grout lines, while small sizes and mosaic can be used as functional and decorative elements to highlight niches, accent walls, or details in the shower area.

The choice between glossy and matte surfaces for the bathroom depends on the desired effect: the former reflect more light, while the latter offer a softer and more textured appearance.

Floors and walls can be coordinated with the same collection or through a mix & match of different effects, colors, and textures. Combinations like Grande Stone Look, Boiserie, and Mystone Limestone or Resin and Luz show how different materials can create a cohesive design; for the floor, collections like Nobilis and Mystone Pietra di Sicilia respectively mimic the appearance of wood and stone.

All the styles and effects of porcelain stoneware for bathroom floors

The chosen effect for the floor helps define the atmosphere of the bathroom and its harmony with walls, sanitaryware, furniture, and adjacent spaces.

For a space exposed to water, it is always important to identify, within the chosen collection, the most suitable surface for its specific intended use.

A classic and elegant bathroom with marble-effect surfaces

The marble-effect porcelain stoneware brings to the bathroom veining, graphic depth, and luminosity inspired by natural marble, creating surfaces with a refined character.

Allmarble, for example, interprets different varieties of marble in porcelain stoneware and allows the design of coordinated floors and wall coverings.

Stone-effect porcelain stoneware for a natural, textured bathroom

The stone-effect porcelain stoneware allows the creation of spaces characterized by natural textures, balanced shades, and a strong material presence.

Mystone Pietra di Sicilia and Mystone Tivoli offer different interpretations of stone and can be used to create a uniform floor or coordinated surfaces between floor and wall.

The warmth of wood effect, for a bathroom floor in continuity with the living area

The wood-effect porcelain stoneware brings the visual warmth of wood essences into the bathroom through a ceramic surface suitable for everyday use.

This is a particularly interesting solution when the bathroom is connected to the bedroom or living area and you want to maintain visual continuity between spaces without necessarily using natural wood in an area exposed to humidity and water.

Collections like Nobilis and Vero interpret different woods, tones, and graphics and can be combined with stone-effect, marble-effect, resin-effect coverings or with colored surfaces.

Resin-effect and solid color surfaces for a modern, minimal bathroom

The resin-effect surfaces allow you to create visually uniform spaces, characterized by soft colors and an essential material quality.

A collection like Resin can be used for a contemporary bathroom and coordinated with coverings in the same tone or with more decorative surfaces.

Color can also take center stage: color collections like Lume allow you to introduce luminous surfaces and bolder shades on walls, niches, and specific areas of the bathroom, creating a contrast with more uniform floors.

Bathroom floors and wall coverings with large slabs: full-surface porcelain stoneware and visual continuity

The large-format porcelain stoneware slabs make it possible to design floors and walls with extended surfaces and a reduced presence of grout lines, enhancing the continuity of material effects.

The same collection can be used, when available for both applications, to coordinate floor and wall coverings and achieve a bathroom with a uniform appearance. 

  • Grande Marble Look interprets different marbles with large slabs that highlight veining and graphic depth, with solutions also enhanced by 3D Ink technology;
  • Grande Stone Look brings the aesthetics of stone to large surfaces, enabling the creation of floors and walls with a material and continuous character;
  • Grande Resin Look, on the other hand, develops the resin effect with large slabs to achieve uniform and contemporary surfaces.

The size and layout of the slabs should always be evaluated considering the geometry of the space, the position of sanitaryware and systems, necessary cuts, and the installation pattern, together with designers and qualified installers.

Hygiene and practicality of ceramic surfaces in the bathroom

Hygiene and ease of maintenance are central aspects in designing bathroom surfaces, both in domestic settings and public spaces.

For projects where an additional hygiene feature is desired, discover Marazzi surfaces with Puro Marazzi Antibacterial technology. Among these, the first was Carácter, which offers solutions for floors and wall coverings

Coordinating bathroom and shower in continuity

The shower is an integral part of bathroom design and can be covered in continuity with the rest of the space or become an area with more distinct character.

Using the same collection on multiple surfaces allows for a coordinated effect between floor, walls, and shower. Alternatively, mix & match between porcelain stoneware, Thin Wall Coverings, Wall Coverings, and Crogiolo collections makes it possible to highlight the shower area through color, texture, small format, or decorative reliefs.

In the case of a walk-in shower, special attention should be paid to the surface chosen for the walkable area: it is necessary to check that both the product and the specific finish are suitable for that particular use.

For more complex projects, large slabs from The Top can also be considered for custom washbasin tops and furniture elements, helping to create a material language coordinated with the other bathroom surfaces.
