Tile has always been a bathroom staple thanks to its durability and timeless aesthetic, but today’s homeowners and designers are taking it one step further—going all-in with tile to create luxurious, modern, and incredibly functional all-tile bathrooms. In Northern Virginia, this trend is growing fast for its ability to blend practicality with striking visual appeal. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to elevate your personal space or a general contractor, architect, or interior designer aiming to impress your clients, the right tile design can completely transform a project.

Designer Tips for Creating an All-Tile Bathroom
At A&E Tile and Marble, LLC, every project is led by Charlie, Founder and CEO, who brings over 40 years of experience in both commercial and residential tile installation. Known for unmatched craftsmanship, Charlie and his team have completed hundreds of projects across Northern Virginia—always bringing fresh eyes, efficiency, and artistry to every job.

His work has made A&E the go-to installation partner for homeowners and industry professionals alike.
1. Pick Your Look
Before choosing tile, think about how the bathroom will be used. A kids’ jack-and-jill bathroom calls for durable and easy-to-clean ceramic or porcelain, while a primary suite might be the perfect place for the elegance of marble or travertine. With so many textures and finishes available, our team helps clients select the right material for both function and design goals.

2. Mix It Up
Don’t limit yourself to just one tile. Combining two or three complementary tile types adds depth and character. Strategic mixing also helps control costs—reserve your favorite high-end tile for accent areas, and pair it with more budget-friendly options for the rest of the room. Our installers ensure transitions look seamless, elevating the entire space.
3. Use Accents Wisely
An accent tile can make a bathroom truly unique, but it has to be intentional. Whether it’s a patterned feature wall or a bold mosaic niche, accents work best when they feel integrated into the overall design. Our design partners rely on us to evaluate where accents enhance the look—and when simplicity is the smarter choice.
4. Measure Twice, Order Once
Nothing slows down a project more than running short on material. That’s why we always recommend ordering at least 20% more tile than the initial estimate to account for cuts, breakage, or natural variation. At A&E Tile and Marble, we handle these details for you, ensuring your project stays on track and frustration-free.
