It is usually the wall tiles that will decide the main colour theme for a bathroom design, but if you are planning to add tiles to existing components there will be certain rules you will have to follow in order to create the right style.
Whether they are placed on the floor or around the shower cubicle, the tile colour in your bathroom is usually the first thing that people will notice. For modern bathrooms there is a huge range of colours and designs to choose from. Of course, as most bathroom sinks and shower trays will come in a ceramic finish, white is always a safe choice, but contrast will be needed if you want your bathroom to come to life. If you only plan to fit tiles around your shower cubicle, a light colour will be the best choice.
Off-white and cream is recommended, although still a little subdued, while bright blues and greens will give any bathroom a fresh and natural feel. Of course, there are many darker tiles on offer, but these will only work well if there is sufficient natural light in your bathroom.
With more traditional bathroom tiles, it will be harder to achieve the right result. In many showroom displays, black tiling has become a popular choice for traditional bathrooms, but again this will only work if there is enough light to brighten up the room. However, it is important not to go overboard when fitting tiles into a traditional style bathroom, as this will often detract from the intended character.

these are probably the 2nd cheapest way to update your bathroom.
You can often get bulk tiles on eBay.
