Not only do bathrooms sell homes, they are also one of the rooms that people consider to be a retreat. On HGTV, bathrooms are often one of the rooms that really get transformed into an oasis for homeowners. And when it comes to designing elevated bathrooms that look stunning with beautiful tile and fixtures, Erin Napier knows how to create a room that anyone will love. In an episode of "Home Town," viewers watched as Ben and Erin Napier helped a family renovate a historic family home to make it feel more modern while sticking to the overall farmhouse vibes. This included giving their clients a bathroom makeover that transformed the space with the help of some gorgeous shower tiles.

For this revamp, the HGTV star opted for an all white tile wall in the shower featuring scalloped tiles that looked like overlapping leaves. According to Napier, the tiles that she chose were all about bringing the feel of nature into the bathroom. The designer chose tiles in a glossy white color that featured textured lines which emphasized that more natural, leaf-like feel. Napier explained that she felt that the "leaves felt soft and pretty." Even with the tiles being all white, they did not feel stark against the other neutral colors of the bathroom design, and instead brought a feeling of movement thanks to both the shape and texture of the tile.

How to bring the nature look into your own shower

Although Erin Napier chose all white tiles for her nature inspired shower design, you don't have to do the same. While you can choose to go with the full white tile look for a fresh and clean shower aesthetic, there are other options that can also give you the leaf effect, even if you only want it as a smaller part of your design. You can find tiles in greens, grays, and blues, such as the sunwings Glazed Green Recycled Glass Mosaic leaf tile from Home Depot, which would work perfectly in a bathroom setting to give your space the feel of bringing nature inside. And while Napier chose a design that looked like overlapping leaves, there are also leaf-like tiles that create a braided effect that still give you that flowing, natural feel.

If you love the idea of leaf tiles and want to embrace that design without the actual shape, another option is to pick out tiles with leaf designs on them already. Leaf pattern tiles come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, offering both leaf prints and the imprint of a leaf for more texture. Regardless of your preferences, there are plenty of options to choose from including The Tile Life Verity Vine 8" x 8" Azul Matte Porcelain from Walmart that comes in two colors featuring leaves and vines and costs $118.49 for 25 tiles that covers just over 10 square feet. It's all about finding what will work in your bathroom for a nature inspired vibe.
