19. The Penthouse Suite, Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez, Cannes

White floor tiles with a plain design are particularly well suited to modern bathroom layouts. Some people consider white designs as quite clinical and more functional than fashionable but if you complement your white floor design with a wall feature that really catches the eye then you could be on to a real winner. When it comes to finishes, both matt and polished surfaces are available. A polished finish really helps to emphasise the white colour and in the case of porcelain it can have what is considered a reflective quality. Matt tiles absorb light opposed to reflecting it and therefore have a more understated feel. You can complement white tiles with a similar coloured grout for a seamless floor finish. Alternatively, dark grouts including both grey and black will accentuate the white colour and provide a stylish contrast in any room. White is a great colour for smaller bathrooms and en suites as it helps to emphasise the available space.
