The Arabesque shape cyclically trends because of its distinctive and timeless design. The lantern-like shape is the perfect balance of geometric and intricate, making it super versatile! Since white Arabesque bathroom tiles are the standard go-to, you do have to pay attention to grout color. Try to avoid white grout lines. Too much white washes out the style, which is why white-on-white bathrooms are out. Instead, frame your fresh white tiles with a sandy beige colored grout to keep the look natural and give it harmonious contrast. This color combo also matches the natural wood-look for that spa effect.
