The flooring in a terracotta bathroom
The bathroom flooring in terracotta could be made with natural terracotta tiles: it is understood that in this case, a treatment is required, as where there is an abundance of water and soap, there is also the possibility that the floor may stain or get damaged.
This is why it is necessary to have an expert apply a water- and oil-repellent treatment, along with waxing, to make maintenance easier. Alternatively, one can opt for glazed terracotta flooring: in this case, no treatment is needed, and the focus can shift to choosing the shapes, colors, mixes, and glossy or matte finishes.

Terracotta wall coverings for the bathroom.
Once the flooring is defined, we can move on to the wall coverings.
The trend is to use glazed terracotta, but it is also possible to create wall coverings with natural terracotta in shades of pink, yellow, white, black, gray, and mocha: in this case, to facilitate maintenance, it is advisable to apply a treatment.
Choosing glazed tiles, on the other hand, opens up the possibility of creating interesting combinations of colors, shapes, and materials. It is indeed possible to design a terracotta bathroom by combining it with other materials such as porcelain stoneware, marble, stones, resins, etc., as well as different shapes.
The result and the advantage are that you achieve a unique and exclusive product: the success of your terracotta bathroom is guaranteed.

Beyond flooring and wall coverings, terracotta, also understood as brick, is an essential structural element that can be used in masonry. It’s not uncommon to find small walls, shelves, and countertops made from masonry in a handmade terracotta bathroom. Moving even to sanitary fixtures, it is possible to have washbasins made in contrasting or matching colors to the wall coverings.
