You’ve seen them—the OG pastel tile bathrooms from the ‘50s and ‘60s. Mint green, baby pink, powder blue everywhere. Walls, floors, even the sink to match. And while they have their charm (hello, retro lovers), most people want an updated version that still plays with color without feeling like a time capsule.

The modern take? Colored tile is back, but with contrast! Instead of one solid color from floor to ceiling, designers are mixing it up—think deep green or terracotta shower tiles paired with a patterned or textured floor tile for balance. The result? A fresh, intentional look that feels bold but not overwhelming.
