Pink tile has spent decades cycling in and out of favor, and right now it is firmly back. What was once dismissed as dated has quietly reestablished itself as one of the more confident choices a homeowner can make in a bathroom. The shade ranges from barely-there blush to deep, saturated rose, and the tile formats have kept pace, covering everything from small penny rounds to large-format slabs. This collection was originally built around ultra-luxe bathroom designs, and what it reveals is how far pink tile has traveled from its midcentury roots. The 29 designs gathered here make a specific case worth paying attention to: pink tile does not require a maximalist commitment to read as refined. Some rooms here use it as a single accent wall. Others build an entire palette around it. Each example was chosen because it answers a real design question, not just because it photographs well.

Pink Onyx From Floor to Ceiling: One Bathroom Goes All In
Vivid pink onyx covers every surface here, from the large-format floor tiles to the wall cladding, and the material’s natural veining shifts between deep magenta and pale blush depending on where light hits it. The vanity unit is carved from the same stone, forming a rounded, sculptural pedestal base topped with an integrated basin. Brass wall-mount faucets add a warm metallic contrast.
A curved onyx archway rises from the vanity wall and sweeps upward in a fluid, organic shape, its high-gloss finish catching light differently than the flat wall tiles behind it. A freestanding soaking tub in matte taupe sits further back, providing visual relief. Geometric skylights cut into the concrete ceiling pull in natural light and cast sharp shadows across the reflective floor.
Pink Onyx Walls, Brass Fixtures, and Zero Apologies
Rose-veined onyx slabs run continuously from floor to wall to vanity shelf, creating a monolithic effect broken only by two round frameless mirrors and a pair of vessel sinks. Brushed brass faucets and a ceiling-mounted shower head add warm metal contrast. A freestanding soaking tub sits near a glass partition at the far right, while a small blonde wood stool holds amber-bottled toiletries beside it.
Warm Pink Onyx Gets an Arched Niche and Brass Hardware to Match
Terracotta-veined pink onyx covers every surface here, floor to ceiling, with large-format tiles laid in a staggered pattern that keeps the eye moving. Brass wall sconces with ribbed glass panels flank an oval mirror above two vessel sinks seated on a floating concrete ledge.
A wall-mounted toilet sits flush with the stone surround, and a frameless glass shower panel divides the wet zone with minimal interruption. On the right, an arched alcove houses recessed shelves stacked with folded linen towels, with a built-in bench below catching the warm glow of recessed ceiling lights.
Pink Tile, Arched Shower, Marble Floor: One Bathroom Commits Fully
Glossy rose-toned tiles coat every wall surface from baseboard to ceiling beam, leaving no surface untouched.
The freestanding oval soaking tub in matte white anchors the center of the room, flanked by brass floor-mount tub fillers. Behind it, a full-height glass shower panel sits beneath a plastered arch. Wall tiles shift between blush and deep terracotta depending on where natural light hits, creating texture without pattern variation.
A concrete shelf holds a vessel sink in white ceramic, with a bronze wall-mount faucet and a narrow rounded mirror overhead. Folded white towels rest on a wire side table in an antique brass finish. Exposed wood ceiling beams run across the upper portion of the room, grounding the scheme before it tips too far into softness.
Crimson Onyx Takes Over Every Surface, and the Room Earns It
Pink and deep crimson onyx tiles cover the floor, the curved accent wall, and the full-height flat wall on the right in large-format slabs, their veining running bold and uninterrupted. Pendant lights with open wire cages hang at staggered heights, casting warm amber light that plays off the polished stone surfaces below. A round wall mirror reflects the glow back into the space.
The vanity floats on what appears to be walnut-toned wood with visible grain, supporting a cylindrical vessel sink in light natural wood or bamboo. Black matte faucet hardware anchors the fixture without competing with the stone. A freestanding white soaking tub sits beneath an arched window at the far end, grounded by plaster-finished walls and barrel-vaulted ceilings that pull the architectural register toward old-world European bathhouses.
Fun Fact: Pink onyx is one of the few natural stones that transmits light rather than simply reflecting it, a property called translucency that makes backlit onyx installations glow from within. That quality is part of why designers often pair it with warm pendant lighting rather than cool overhead fixtures. The effect amplifies the stone’s natural depth without any additional surface treatment.
Copper-Toned Zellige Walls, a Skylight, and Brass That Knows Its Role
Oxidized copper-finish tiles cover every wall surface, their irregular glazing shifting between rust, amber, and bronze depending on where afternoon light enters through the overhead skylight. A floating concrete sink shelf runs the full vanity width, with wall-mount brass faucets and a frameless mirror flanked by two cylindrical brass sconces. Built-in shower niches hold amber glass vessels and product bottles, lit from beneath by recessed strip lighting.
- Zellige-style tiles with uneven glaze surfaces scatter light differently than polished stone, adding depth without pattern work
- A skylight positioned directly above a wet room reduces humidity buildup while doubling as a natural light source
- Floating concrete shelving eliminates vanity cabinet bulk, making small bathrooms read as larger
Ruby-Veined Stone Steps, a Skylight Shower, and Candles Doing Real Work
Crimson-stained stone covers every tread of a three-step platform that leads directly into a rainfall shower fed through an open skylight. The stone reads closer to ruby than pink, with cloudy white veining and patches of deep burgundy that shift depending on where the light lands. Candles in wire lanterns sit at floor level, and a ceramic bowl rests on the upper platform near the water.
On the far wall, an arched mirror reflects two pendant lights with open geometric frames. Folded towels stack on a dark wood vanity shelf below. A tropical plant anchors the right corner, its broad leaves cutting against all that mineral surface.
The Psychology Behind This: Spaces designed around natural stone and candlelight tend to lower perceived stress more quickly than those relying on artificial overhead lighting alone, because the combination triggers associations with warmth and safety rooted in early human experience. The ruby tones here push that further, since warm reds and deep pinks are consistently linked in color psychology research with feelings of physical comfort rather than stimulation when used at low saturation levels.
Backlit Rose Onyx, a Rain Shower Arch, and Warm Stone Doing the Heavy Lifting
Slabs of rose and coral onyx tile the arched shower enclosure from bench to keystone, and the rain head mounted at the arch’s peak catches the light as water falls through it. Underfoot, polished pink marble flooring carries the warmth outward into the broader space, where built-in stone shelving holds folded white towels and amber glass vessels.
Common Mistake: Designers often place rain shower heads too close to the arch or ceiling curve, which causes water to splash directly onto the stonework instead of falling freely. In a vaulted shower like this one, the head needs to be positioned at true center with enough clearance beneath it to let the stream develop before it reaches body height. Getting that measurement wrong is one of the most common and most expensive mistakes in custom shower construction.
Where the previous design leaned on backlit stone, this one pulls warmth from an entirely different source.
Coral Plaster Walls, a Rain Column, and Stone Basins Doing the Work
Warm coral venetian plaster wraps the walls and ceiling in unbroken continuity, giving the room a cave-like enclosure that reads as intentional rather than claustrophobic. Two travertine vessel sinks sit on a mosaic-faced vanity platform, their rough-hewn edges contrasting with brushed brass wall-mount faucets. An arched mirror with a gold frame anchors the left wall.
The shower occupies the right third of the room, clad floor-to-ceiling in deep rose glass mosaic tile. A ceiling-mounted ring fixture releases a full column of water rather than a standard spray pattern. Below it, a built-in niche holds folded towels and product bottles. A freestanding travertine soaking tub sits in the mid-ground, catching light from what appears to be a recessed opening behind it.
Rose Quartz Walls, a Skylight Rain Shower, and Walnut Floating Shelves Holding Their Own
Slab-format rose quartz tile covers every wall surface, its veining shifting between dusty pink and muted burgundy depending on where the light lands. A frameless glass enclosure separates the walk-in shower from the dry zone without interrupting the sightline. Brass hardware anchors the controls, the rain head, and the mirror frame on the far wall, keeping the metal palette consistent throughout.
The walnut floating shelves add grain and warmth against all that stone. One holds folded towels; the other, a vessel sink in pale travertine. A recessed niche inside the shower, lit from within, displays product bottles in amber glass. Natural light enters through a skylight centered directly above the rain head, casting water droplets in sharp relief as they fall.
Budget Tip: Frameless glass shower enclosures cost significantly more than framed alternatives, but in a room with patterned stone walls, the frame would visually interrupt the tile layout at eye level. If budget is tight, a single fixed glass panel without a door track achieves a similar open effect for considerably less. Spending elsewhere on the stone itself often delivers more visual return than the hardware holding it in place.
Fuchsia Zellige, a Rain Shower Column, and Adobe Plaster Holding the Line
Saturated fuchsia zellige tiles cover every surface inside the shower zone, from floor to ceiling, with large-format slabs laid in a grid that catches light unevenly across the handmade glaze. Black matte hardware handles the contrast work: a ceiling-mount rain head, a wall-mount spout, and a hand shower on a fixed bar, all consistent in finish and deliberately minimal in profile. A built-in bench runs the full width of the shower floor, tiled to match the walls, with rolled linen towels resting at one end.
Outside the shower, adobe plaster in a deep sienna tone grounds the vanity wall. Two arched mirrors reflect light back from globe sconces mounted between them. Stone vessel sinks sit on a dark floating shelf, with tall black gooseneck faucets centered above each basin. The contrast between raw plaster and polished tile does not need resolving. It is the point.
Black matte hardware handles the contrast work, all consistent in finish and deliberately minimal in profile.
Magenta Glass Panels, a Freestanding Tub, and Walnut Vanity Splitting the Drama
Magenta-toned glass panels line every wall of the shower enclosure, pushing the color to a pitch most designers would consider too far. They don’t. The frameless glass partition separating the tub zone from the walk-in shower keeps sightlines open without interrupting the wash of color.
A walnut floating vanity anchors the right wall with two vessel sinks in matte white, paired with wall-mount matte black faucets. Recessed amber lighting warms the shower niche. Polished marble tile runs the floor throughout, and the large-format slabs diffuse the magenta reflection into something almost liquid underfoot.
In The Details: Colored glass wall panels, sometimes called lacobel or back-painted glass, are installed with the painted surface facing the wall rather than the room, which protects the finish from moisture and cleaning products entirely. Unlike tile, they have no grout lines to maintain, making them a practical choice despite their bold visual weight. In commercial and residential high-rises, they are increasingly used as an alternative to stone in wet areas because large seamless sheets can be cut to exact dimensions on-site.
Coral Zellige Walls, Arched Niches, and Marble Shelving Splitting the Warmth

Terracotta-coral zellige tiles cover both the walls and floor in handmade, slightly irregular squares that catch light differently across every surface. Two vessel sinks sit on a cantilevered marble shelf with wall-mounted brass faucets, while folded linen towels occupy the shelf below. A potted palm anchors the arched passage into the shower zone.
Why the Arched Mirror Niche Works Harder Than a Standard Frame
Rather than mounting a flat mirror against the tile, the designer recessed an arch-shaped niche into the wall and lined its interior with the same coral zellige, creating a mirror surround that reads as architectural rather than decorative. The warm light source tucked behind the upper ceiling cove spills into that niche, making the reflected surface appear softly lit from within. That detail alone removes the need for separate vanity lighting, which would have introduced a competing fixture into an already layered palette.
Pink Marble Columns, a Sunken Tub, and Terrazzo Holding the Balance
Rose marble covers everything here: floor, ceiling, columns, even the organic arch that frames a second bathing area in the background. The material choice is bold but consistent, and that consistency is what keeps the room from feeling chaotic. A sunken soaking tub sits flush with the floor, ringed by the same veined stone, its recessed form pulling the eye downward instead of outward.
The vanity countertop is honed terrazzo in cream and brown aggregate, which cuts the pink without competing with it. Two round mirrors with dark bronze frames hang above a pair of vessel sinks in rough-textured dark stone. Matte black faucets and a scatter of river pebbles on the floor read as deliberate restraint against all that polished marble.
Color Story: Rose marble spans a wide color range within a single slab, with veining that can shift from pale blush to deep burgundy depending on the quarry origin and mineral concentration. Designers pairing it with neutral terrazzo are banking on that tonal variation to do the color work without adding a second dominant material. The contrast holds because terrazzo’s aggregate is random by nature, making it visually quiet even when placed directly beside something as declarative as floor-to-ceiling pink marble.
Dusty Pink Stone Tiles, a Concrete Ceiling, and Brass Fixtures Holding the Warmth Together
Large-format pink stone tiles cover every wall and the floor in a consistent matte finish, creating a color envelope that the concrete ceiling above does nothing to interrupt. Brass fixtures at the sink and tub reinforce the warm undertones in the stone without competing. A floating walnut shelf runs beneath two undermount basins, with folded towels stacked below it.
The shower occupies the far end behind frameless glass, with a built-in stone niche holding product bottles at eye level. A brass rain head drops from the ceiling. Floor-to-ceiling glazing along the left wall pulls in natural light that shifts the pink tiles from mauve to blush depending on the hour.
History Corner: Pink sandstone and quartzite have been quarried in Rajasthan, India, for over two thousand years, used in structures ranging from fort walls to palace courtyards long before the material appeared in residential bathrooms. The same geological conditions that give Rajasthani stone its iron-oxide color variation also make it denser and more water-resistant than many European pink marbles, which is why regional builders favored it for both interior and exterior applications. That durability is part of why designers working with pink stone today often source directly from Indian quarries rather than European suppliers.
Fuchsia Stone Walls, a Glass-Divided Shower Zone, and Dark Slate Keeping It Grounded
Fuchsia-veined stone tiles run floor to ceiling on the right wall, anchored by a black marble floating vanity with a vessel sink and gold wall-mount faucets. Dark slate tiles cover the main floor, shifting to glossy pink tile inside the glass-divided shower zone.
Designer’s Secret: Designers sometimes use a contrasting floor material inside a frameless walk-in shower to visually define the wet zone without adding a physical threshold, which keeps the sightline open across the full room. In bathrooms with bold wall color, a darker floor tile outside the shower acts as a visual anchor, preventing the saturated hue from overwhelming the space. That floor contrast also makes the glass partition feel intentional rather than structural.
Pink Marble Floor to Ceiling, Recessed LED Shelving, and a Glass Partition Doing Real Work
Veined pink marble covers every surface here, walls, floor, and vanity front, in slabs large enough to keep the pattern continuous rather than fragmented. A floor-to-ceiling glass partition divides the toilet zone from the vanity without blocking sightlines or light. Recessed shelving runs the full wall height beside the toilet, each shelf lit from underneath with warm amber LEDs. Copper-finish hardware appears on the flush plate, shelf brackets, and shower controls. The freestanding tub sits low and rectangular against the far wall beneath a mirror cabinet that spans nearly the full vanity width.
Pink Onyx Floor to Ceiling, Globe Pendants, and Gold Fixtures Carrying the Weight
Every surface here is pink onyx, running from the polished floor tiles through the full-height walls and wrapping across the coffered ceiling. The veining shifts between pale blush and deep coral-red depending on where natural light from the frosted side window lands. A matte white freestanding soaking tub sits centered on the floor, its oval silhouette contrasting the stone’s movement without competing with it.
Gold fixtures appear at the freestanding tub filler, the wall-mount faucets above two vessel basins, and the rain shower head behind a frameless glass partition. Two globe pendants hang above the vanity counter, casting a warm downward glow that reads differently than the recessed ceiling light. A small white bath mat and a branch of white blooms near the tub are the only elements that break from the monolithic pink.
Coral Marble Floor to Ceiling, Warm LED Niches, and Wood Floating Vanity Carrying the Room
Coral-veined marble tiles run uninterrupted from floor to ceiling across every wall surface, with white veining that shifts intensity depending on how the recessed amber LED strips hit each panel. The lit shelving niches cut directly into the marble field, holding folded white towels, amber glass bottles, and small plants without a single shelf bracket in sight.
A frameless glass partition divides the rain shower zone from the freestanding soaker tub, keeping sightlines open across the full length of the room. The floating vanity uses a dark walnut shelf with two vessel sinks in matte white, paired with wall-mounted copper-toned faucets. Folded towels stack on a lower walnut shelf below, and an illuminated mirror runs nearly the full width of the wall behind the sinks.
Crimson Quartzite Walls, a Skylit Double Vanity, and Black Vessels Anchoring the Room
Deep crimson quartzite clads every wall surface, its white veining visible beneath light pouring from a circular skylight overhead. Two matte black vessel sinks sit on a quartzite vanity block, paired with matching black deck-mount faucets and round backlit mirrors. Polished travertine floors ground the palette.
Pink Quartzite Walls, a Two-Tone Soaking Tub, and Black Marble Doing the Heavy Lifting
Pink quartzite runs floor to ceiling on the right wall, its white veining catching the warm recessed light above the built-in shelving. The freestanding soaking tub sits directly against that wall, finished in matte black on the exterior with a pink stone interior that mirrors the quartzite behind it. Brushed bronze floor-mounted fixtures flank the tub on both sides, pulling the warm metal tones from the ceiling strip lighting and the wall-mounted faucet above the vanity.
Dark grey marble covers the left wall and the double-sink countertop, with a floating walnut vanity below. Two black vessel sinks sit on the slab surface. The glass-enclosed shower occupies the center rear, keeping the two stone palettes from competing. Quartzite requires sealing more frequently than granite because its silica structure, while hard, remains more porous than most homeowners expect.
Pink Onyx Floor to Ceiling, Woven Pendants, and Brass Fixtures Holding the Room Together
Slabs of translucent pink onyx cover every surface here, walls, floor, and ceiling, creating a shell that responds to light rather than simply bouncing it back. Warm LED strips run along the tray ceiling perimeter and beneath the soaking tub surround, pulling amber tones out of the stone’s natural veining. Brass wall-mount faucets extend from the vanity wall without any cabinet base beneath, leaving the floor open and unbroken.
Woven rattan pendant shades hang at staggered heights on the right side, softening what could otherwise read as cold and monolithic. A round jute bath mat sits near the tub. Folded white towels rest on a floating wood slat shelf beside the sink, providing the only true neutral in the room. The window at the back frames an open ocean view, and that exterior light works directly with the onyx’s translucency rather than competing with the artificial sources.
Blush Marble Walls, a Freestanding Egg Tub, and Double Vessel Sinks Splitting the Space
Warm blush marble runs floor to ceiling across every surface, including the walls, floor, and shower zone, creating a monolithic effect broken only by shifts in finish and texture. The shower floor switches to a small-format pink tile grid, providing grip without interrupting the color story. Brass fixtures throughout, from the floor-mounted tub filler to the wall-mounted faucets, read as aged gold rather than polished, which keeps the palette from tipping into cold territory.
A floating vanity in a muted wood tone holds two round, matte dark-clay vessel sinks side by side beneath a wide frameless mirror. The oval freestanding tub sits in cream-white solid surface, its curved silhouette contrasting the flat marble planes behind it. Natural light enters through a flush skylight above the shower, supplementing the cove lighting along the right wall and preventing the deep blush palette from reading as dim.
Glossy Pink Onyx Wrapped Into an Arch, Dark Stone Vessels, and a Vanity That Holds Its Ground
Crimson-veined pink onyx covers the shower enclosure in a continuous curved arch, its high-gloss finish pooling light across the interior walls and ceiling in a way flat tile never could. The arch has no frame or threshold, just a seamless curve from floor to ceiling that defines the wet zone spatially rather than physically. Two dark emperador marble vessel sinks sit on a slab-top floating vanity with matte espresso cabinetry and wall-mount matte black faucets. Oval mirrors with brass sconce lighting flank the vanity wall, which pairs polished pink stone against a neutral taupe plaster section for contrast.
Glossy Rose Zellige Tiles, a Skylit Rain Shower, and Candlelight Pulling the Room to Ground

Handmade zellige tiles cover the walls floor to ceiling in a rosy mauve tone, their irregular glaze catching light differently across each piece. A skylight overhead feeds natural light directly into the rain shower column, creating a mist effect that reads almost architectural. Brass trim lines the raised stone platform, and an open niche holds amber glass bottles alongside pillar candles in black iron lanterns.
A round brass mirror anchors the right wall, and a low cushioned daybed in warm linen sits outside the wet zone. Folded stone-colored towels rest on the platform ledge. The concrete ceiling keeps the palette from reading as overtly feminine, pulling the rose tones toward something closer to raw mineral than decorative pink.
Magenta Zellige Covering Two Full Walls, Black Fixtures, and a Meditation Cushion on the Floor
Rough-edged magenta zellige tiles run floor to ceiling across the shower wall and wrap into a built-in bench, while the remaining walls stay in raw travertine-toned plaster. Black matte fixtures, including a ceiling-mount rain head and a handheld valve, contrast the saturated tile. A low fuchsia floor cushion sits outside the wet zone with folded white towels stacked on top.
Rose Onyx Floor to Ceiling, a Skylight Over the Shower, and Brass Fixtures Grounding the Palette
Salmon-toned onyx covers every surface here, walls, floor, and shower enclosure, in large-format slabs with rust-veined patterning that shifts from pale blush near the ceiling to deeper terracotta at the base. A frameless glass panel defines the wet zone without interrupting sightlines, and a brass rain head column anchors the shower wall.
A floating stone shelf holds two round vessel sinks with wall-mount brass faucets positioned at low height. Recessed ceiling fixtures and a backlit mirror strip provide layered light, while a skylight drops natural light directly onto the shower floor. A woven basket beside the glass panel keeps the room from reading as purely mineral.
Herringbone Zellige Across Two Walls, a Skylit Soaking Tub, and Gold Fixtures Doing the Work
Raspberry-toned zellige tiles run floor-to-ceiling on the back wall in a herringbone pattern, while the left wall shifts to large-format pink onyx slabs with white veining. The contrast between the two tile scales keeps the room from reading as flat. A white freestanding oval tub sits centered on pink herringbone floor tile, with a brass floor-mount faucet beside it. A skylight overhead pulls natural light directly down into the wet zone.
The floating vanity uses pink marble for its countertop and a white rectangular vessel sink. Below it, a brass-framed open shelf holds folded towels and dark amber bottles. A round backlit mirror anchors the vanity wall, and a single globe pendant hangs to its right. A potted palm in a white cache-pot adds the only organic break from the stone-and-tile palette.
