Botanical patterns

Delicate floral designs are a big hit for modern bathrooms. Be inspired by this splashback by Annie Sloan, which features plain white tiles that have been painted using her botanical stencil set. Whether you’re feeling creative enough to tackle your own design or want to buy floral tiles, make sure the pattern is more bold botanical than kitsch floral.
Glossy

Matt finishes have become the firm favourite with interior lovers. However, for 2020 homeowners are becoming more adventurous and are mixing textures, especially in the bathroom. Play with different textures and finishes with your choice of splashback and opt for a raw ceramic tile with a glossy finish for a cool and contemporary contrast.
Brick-effect

Whether you want to cover an entire wall with brick slips or alternatively a smaller area just to act as a splashback for your sink, brick is definitely on trend and isn’t going to go out of fashion anytime soon.
