tiled

Like many bathrooms

Tiled describes a surface covered with tiles—flat pieces of ceramic, stone, or other material arranged in a pattern: a tiled bathroom floor, tiled rooftops.

In computing, tiled refers to windows or images arranged edge-to-edge without overlapping: a tiled desktop, tiled wallpaper.

The word implies regularity and repetition across a surface.
