Floral Porcelain Brings Soft Pattern and Precision

This light-filled bathroom showcases the decorative potential of porcelain through Kaleseramik’s Shiro Bloom tiles, blending classic floral patterning with a restrained, contemporary palette.

Designed as a calm yet expressive space, the bathroom demonstrates how surface design can elevate everyday rituals while remaining highly functional and durable.

The focal point of the room is the wall finished in 40 x 120 cm Shiro Bloom porcelain tiles. Featuring a delicate floral motif and a refined matte finish, the tiles introduce softness and visual depth without overwhelming the space. The pattern draws on botanical references, with finely detailed leaves and flowers rendered in muted tones that sit comfortably within a modern interior. Used across the vanity wall, the tiles frame the basin area and create a clear visual hierarchy within the bathroom.

Balancing the decorative tiles is a pared-back material palette. A floating vanity in a soft blush tone adds warmth and subtle colour, while its clean lines ensure the joinery does not compete with the tilework. Above, a simple illuminated mirror reinforces the bathroom’s contemporary feel and provides functional task lighting. The neutral flooring and crisp white ceiling allow the floral tiles to remain the hero, while natural light from the arched window enhances the texture and finish of the porcelain surface.
