Bathroom Chrome Trim Strip
See how tile-edging trim adds graphic style to these 5 bathrooms and kitchens
Tile-edging strips are narrow lengths of metal or plastic used to finish off tile walls, backsplashes and flooring. The trim finishes the edges and protects the tile from chipping. The range of finishes and colors available today has transformed these utilitarian strips into design stars. Here are five projects for which designers used tile edging to add graphic punch to each room's overall look.
Schluter Systems
This shows a common application of tile-edging strips. A popular brand is Schluter, shown here. The brushed-chrome trim cleanly finishes the edges where the tiles meet.
Schmauder Group
1. Industrial Bath With Graphic Punches
In this industrial-inspired bathroom, designer Michelle Schmauder played off other black elements in the room by capping the backsplash with a matte black edge trim. The visual weight of the mirror frames is about the same as that of the trim, she told Houzz. This creates a nice balance throughout the room, as the same strips also appear in the shower.

2. Organic Zen Minimalist Bathroom
In this Zen minimalist bathroom, interior designer Lauren Levant also used matte black tile edging. In a stall full of large-format tile, it adds a subtle yet impactful detail that reinforces the shower's symmetry and ties into the other black elements in the room.

Here's a closer look at the strips. The contrast between the black metal strips and the concrete tiles enhances the look of the concrete.

3. Bold and Colorful Tropical Bathroom
Interior designer Stéphanie Fortierspecified white strips to cap off the backsplash in this happy and bright tropical bathroom. "This gives it a seamless look. Be careful to specify white when you want it, because most contractors will automatically use stainless steel," the designer told Houzz.

She also chose white strips to give the tile shower surround a nice clean, protected edge.
The Hills Group
4. Glittering Shower Stall
In this contemporary and glamorous shower stall by The Hills Group, the shine from the brushed-stainless steel tile edging adds some bling to the edges of the bench and generous niches.
Griffin Designs
5. French-Bistro-Inspired Kitchen
As a kitchen and bath designer, Alison Griffin is very familiar with edge-protection profiles and what they can do for a design. In this French-bistro-inspired kitchen, she capped the outer corners of the tile wall with stainless steel trim to add an industrial touch. You can see it on the windowsill's vertical edge.
