Bold, eye-catchy and even unique tile is one of the hottest current trends in bathroom decor. As for unique shapes, I can name, perhaps, two types of tile: arabesque or Moroccan and fish scale. Today’s roundup is dedicated to fish scale tile and ways to incorporate it into your bathroom to achieve a maximal effect.

What Is Fish Scale Tile

Sometimes called fan tiles, scallop tiles, or mermaid tiles, a fish scale tile is perhaps the most elegant infusion of style and substance. Their aesthetically pleasing arrangement adds an element of charm to feature walls, bathroom walls, and even floors.

How To Incorporate Fish Scale Tile Into Bathrooms

The most popular idea is making an accent wall using fish scale tile, and this wall is usually in the shower, or the whole shower is clad with such tiles, or it can be around the sinks. Another idea is rocking fish scale tiles all over the bathroom but keep them neutral as too bold tiles all over can be overwhelming.
