Earlier this week I talked about our Hoarder House Main Bath design plans, and you saw the black hexagon tile we picked for the flooring. Once I had zoned in on the black hex tile floor look, it seems like I saw it everywhere! Our friends at church showed us their recently remodeled bath and they did the black hexagon tile floor too.
Is it trendy? Sure! But is it also timeless? I believe so. The hexagon shape is here to stay and while it can totally bring a modern look and feel to your floor, it is also what I would consider to be a ‘safe’ and ‘enduring’ style.
My absolute favorite is the black tile with black grout look…. sooooo gorgeous. We wanted to go that route in our main bathroom, and while we picked out the blackest grout, it still ended up being more of a gray color. So that was a lesson to us on watching how much water we mix in our grout…
I have a lot of pins in my Main Bath inspiration board that show off the gorgeous black hexagon floor tile.

I especially love Sarah Sherman Samuel’s main bath renovation. She did such a beautiful job achieve that perfect black and white look. Even though that is a classic bathroom combo, she does it in a totally fresh way. I think part of what makes the bathroom so uniquely beautiful is that the grout matches the tile. She did black grout with black tile and white grout with white tile.
In honor of this beautiful and on-trend look, I thought I’d bring you some of my favorite black hexagon inspired tiles.

The first tile is obviously my favorite since that’s what we chose for our bathroom. I like how it elevates the black hexagon tile look by adding texture. The embossed finish adds a lot of interest to our otherwise neutral bathroom. Some friends worried it would be tough to keep clean… I was willing to take the risk. 😉 Only time will tell…
Tile choice number two is a safe choice if you’re going the black hex route. It’s small enough to have that mosaic look. Plus it has a nice matte finish. And I just love that picture of it, because, again… black on black tile and grout!!!
The third tile is subtly different from the other larger format hexagons because it has a gloss finish. So if you prefer your floors to shine and like a bit of glam in your loo, then this is the tile for you!
What is better than large format black hexagon tiles? Large format black MARBLE hexagon tile! This is what you get with option four. I think this elevates the look for a more luxury-style bathroom. Some of the other hexagon tiles can lend towards a more industrial feel, but not this one, thanks to that beautiful white veining that screams high-end.
Option number five… where to begin?? When I saw this tile, my jaw dropped. How unbelievable stunning is that?? It would create the coolest high impact flooring ever. Seriously, now I want it in our master bath. So, funky and fresh!
Tile number six is what I like to call elongated hexagon. Is that really what it is? I don’t know, I’ve also seen it called picket style. Either way, it’s a fresh take on the black hexagon floor that I seriously considered for our bathroom.
Similarly to the large format marble hex, the seventh tile above is a mosaic version. I think the mosaic hexagon tiles can be a little more neutral in your space. If you’re worried that a 9″ black marble hexagon will take over your bathroom, opt for the smaller format hex mosaics instead.
So, I know option eight doesn’t totally fit in the black hexagon tile category. But, it’s so fun, and pretty close… I think if you like the black hexagon flooring but are worried that it will be too dark and heavy in your space, this tile will get you that fun shape and add some bright pattern at the same time!
And finally, the ninth tile is your classic black hexagon large format tile. Because sometimes the simpler the better.
What do you think? Are you digging this look? I really think we are going to see more and more of it in the coming years. Which tile is your fave?

Are you happy with your tile choice? Is the black hex hard to maintain?
Yes, it’s so beautiful! The dust and dirt does show on it more than a medium colored tile would, so the maintenance is a little higher.
