Hexagon and subway patterns
Hexagon floors and subway walls give a classic look, and black hexagons pair well with white subway tiles. Smaller patterns follow shower slopes well, though more grout needs careful sealing.
Floors and safety
Choose matt, textured or small-format floor tiles with good slip resistance, since polished black becomes very slippery when wet. Slope the floor properly towards the drain.
Grout and lighting
Grey grout is the safest choice, since pure white stains and pure black shows soap. Use bright, even lighting and avoid heavy black on all walls in small bathrooms.
Waterproofing and care
Waterproof walls and floor before tiling, then clean regularly to avoid soap scum. Black surfaces show water marks, so squeegee shower walls. Fitting should be done by a trained fixer, and the wall or floor checked for level, dryness and strength first.
What to check before buying
- Floor slip rating. Suitable for wet areas
- Grout colour. Sampled
- Waterproofing. Done before tiling
- Lighting. Bright and even
Before you decide
Use black as an accent or floor, keep walls light in small rooms and sample grout colours. Add a small ventilation fan and a squeegee habit, since both colours show water spots and soap film more than mid-tones. Choose black fittings or chrome consistently so the finish looks planned. Keep spare tiles from the same batch and note the shade code, since matching a tile later from a different batch is difficult. Ask the seller for written size, grade and return terms, view samples in the room's own light and compare total cost per square foot including fixing, not tile price alone.
