"Your Eye Doesn't Know Where to Land" — Yes, You Can Have Too Much Tile in Your Bathroom, Here's the Rule to Get the Balance Right

Bathroom with zellige tiles.

Listen, I love a good tile moment as much as the next design writer, so I understand if this statement may come as a shock, but it has to be said... There is such a thing as too much tile.

I know what you're thinking, 'what about tile drenching?', and I hear you. I'm not saying head-to-toe tiling is always wrong, or joining the graveyard of other outdated bathroom tile styles, I'm just saying there's a way to do it right, and a way to do it... less right. Unfortunately, there is a fine line between these two, and while some bathrooms can look strikingly elegant when drenched in tiles, others can easily end up looking suffocating and overwhelming.
