Dial Up the Drama With These Black Shower Tile Ideas

We love a good moody moment here at Fireclay, and black shower tile is an excellent way to achieve this statement-making look. Not only does this classic choice create a luxe, sophisticated aesthetic, it pulls double duty by hiding grime effectively.

Whether you’re going for sleek and modern or bold traditional, our range of black tile can bring your vision to life. We offer several shades of black in Ceramic, Glass, and Brick with options including warm to cool undertones and sumptuous matte sheens to finishes with a glossy pop. Bring home up to five free samples of your favorite black tile when you talk to one of our friendly reps—book an appointment here.

Want to see our tile in action? We’ve rounded up some of our favorite black shower tile examples to inspire your next project–let’s get into it!

Go Ultra Modern

Black tile is frequently used in modern interior design, and this look becomes particularly sleek in a vertically stacked pattern like Amanda Jane Jones’ shower above. The clean lines of this installation allow the black shade on the tile to take center stage and our popular Carbon glaze is more than up to the task, giving the space the appearance of oil-rubbed bronze.

Frame Your Niche

Talk about a nice niche! We’re big fans of shower niches here at Fireclay–the built-in storage is both tremendously practical and aesthetically pleasing–and the black brick shower above takes the look to another level by framing it’s double-shelved niche in matching offset brick.

Match Your Wallpaper’s Energy

If you love a daring look, pair your black shower tile with equally dramatic elements in your bathroom. In Shavonda Gardner’s gorgeous bathroom above, classic subway tile goes bold with a rich onyx hue, easily holding its own next to the eye-catching botanical wallpaper.

Create a Moody Accent Wall

Make your shower really pop with a statement-making accent wall courtesy of black tile. We love how the Brownstone Boys chose a different shape and color, 4” Hexagons in Carbon, so the shower’s floor and walls beautifully contrasted with the otherwise bright space.

Lean Into the Soft Side of Black

If you love the idea of a dark shower but aren’t sold on pure black, charcoal grey is a great option. This walk-in shower is adorned with a timeless design of offset subway tile in smoky charcoal with warm green undertones, creating a moody and immersive atmosphere.

Get Textural with Brick

Up the ante with both color and texture courtesy of our Glazed Thin Brick. The signature textured surface of brick adds visual interest and a tactile feeling to your shower, especially in a sophisticated dark glaze like Black Hills.

Make it Matte

Give your shower a sumptuous edge with our handmade matte finish. We love how designer Kristen Peña used our non-reflective Raven Matte glaze on large-scale 8” Hexagons in this shower to allow the glaze’s sheen and shade to be the star of the show.
