Let’s talk bathroom tiles, besties! I’ll be the first to admit that picking the perfect tile combo can feel like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube in the dark. After testing the waters with my own bathroom (and having a few questionable grout choices along the way), I’ve learned what really works. Ready to find the dreamiest tile combinations for your space? Let’s dive in!”
1. Subway + Hexagon Combo
