Black Hexagon Tile Bathroom Ideas That Wow

With their blend of classic geometry and bold, modern color, black hexagon tiles effortlessly transform any bathroom into a statement space. Whether you're designing a small powder room or a spacious primary bath, this look offers both form and function. And when it comes to bathroom floors, our range of black hexagon floor tiles is perfect for achieving that perfect balance of style and practicality.

At Fireclay, we offer black hexagon tiles in a variety of sizes (2”, 3”, 4”, 6”, and 8”), a range of hand-mixed black glaze colors, and both matte and glossy finishes, ensuring that you’ll find the perfect fit for your bathroom’s needs. But why are black hexagon tiles such a popular choice for bathrooms? Let’s take a closer look at what makes this tile shape and color combination a go-to for homeowners and designers alike.

Why Choose Black Hexagon Tiles for Your Bathroom?

Hexagon tiles have long been a favorite in bathroom design, and it’s easy to see why. The geometric shape is rooted in classic design, giving any space a timeless appeal. Whether used on the floor or walls, hexagons add visual interest with their sharp yet versatile edges. When paired with black—a color synonymous with modern sophistication—hexagon tiles create a striking contrast that elevates the overall aesthetic of your bathroom.

But beyond their design appeal, black hexagon floor tiles bring several practical benefits to bathroom spaces.

1. Increased Grip with Smaller Sizes

One of the most important considerations for bathroom floor tile is safety, especially in wet areas like showers. Smaller hexagon tiles like 2” or 3” offer more grout lines, which in turn provide additional grip underfoot. This makes these tiles an excellent choice for bathrooms, where slip resistance is key.

2. Classic Shape, Modern Color

Hexagons are a timeless tile shape, often seen in vintage homes and classic design schemes. But when paired with deep black hues like Raven or Bone Black Satin, this traditional shape takes on a modern, moody edge. The result? A bathroom that feels equal parts timeless and contemporary. Whether you’re aiming for a sleek, minimalist design or a bold, dramatic space, black hexagon tiles fit seamlessly into any style.

3. Versatility in Size and Finish

The variety of hexagon tile sizes we offer allows for flexibility in your design. Larger tiles, such as our 6” or 8” hexagons, work beautifully in open bathroom spaces, creating a clean, modern look with fewer grout lines. These larger tiles can also help a small bathroom feel more spacious. On the other hand, smaller mosaic sizes can be used to create intricate patterns or to add texture in areas like shower floors.

And don’t forget about the finish! Glossy black tiles, like those in Akoya or Wrought Iron, add a reflective sheen that can make a bathroom feel brighter and more expansive. Alternatively, matte finishes such as Basalt or Carbon provide a more understated, sophisticated look, perfect for creating a spa-like atmosphere in your home.
