Colour Blocking with Wall Tiles: Your How-To Guide
A fashion trend inspired by the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian, colour blocking has fast become one of the most popular ways to make a statement in your home – and interior designers are in hot pursuit of this bold décor choice. A combination of bold shades and cubist designs, the simplicity of compiling a number of abstract shapes made up of a singular colour means that it couldn’t be easier to reflect your artistic flair by colour blocking in your home – so you can make a statement that says it all.
In today’s blog post, we’ll be giving you all the encouragement you could need for adding an eye-catching dimension to your home in our handy how-to guide. So whether you’re looking for subtler ways to make a statement or hoping to create an attention-commanding interior, we’ve got the design tips to help you take your colour blocking one step further with bathroom and kitchen wall tiles.
Rich and opulent
Colour blocking may be centred on colour theory, but that’s not to say that you should stick to any rules when it comes to your vibrant interior design. Whether it’s a kitchen splashback or an eye-catching feature wall, dare to contrast with deep shades of reds and pinks to create a lavish and luxurious aesthetic. While colour clashes will enhance the eye-catching appearance of the room, remember that less is often more in interior design, so ensure that you keep feature furnishings to a minimum in this section of the home.
If you’re looking to inject some creativity into your dark wood kitchen shelving, cladding each separated section with a different colour of glossy Metro brick means that you could add a distinctive Mondrian-esque work of art to your walls – and brighten up any drab domestic spaces with this opulent aesthetic.
Fresh and clean
When it comes to the hub of the house, an interior design that reflects natural light around the room is a must – making pale toned wall tiles a recommended choice for household kitchens. While light coloured kitchen wall tiles will open up the space, adding a bright pop of colour will excite a feeling of summer throughout the year – so you can enjoy a fresh and vibrant ambience every single day.
For a feature wall that captures your gaze every time, adorn a section of the wall with stripes of vibrant green and yellow wall tiles. The similarities between the colours will ensure that these kitchen tiles won’t detract from the overall interior design – but by adding these bold blocks of colour, your home is sure to stand out. For a seamless interior that oozes sophistication, make your colours match with the rest of the room by subtly incorporating the shades into lesser noticed aspects of the room, by painting chair legs or introducing colour with plant pots and kitchen utensils.
Soft and calming
When it comes to the bedroom and bathroom, spaces that evoke a sense of peace and tranquillity will not only improve sleep quality, but will leave you feeling emotionally and physically healthier too. Colour psychology determines that cooler tones, such as greys and blues, are the best choices for these calming spaces – which is why so many of us opt for milder colour blocking in these rooms. Wall tiles may be a practical choice for busy bathrooms, but the variation of finish will also mean that you can incorporate contrast with your different colour blocking – without overpowering the room’s atmosphere.
Ensuring consistency in an en-suite bedroom, why not split the walls horizontally throughout the space and clad the lower half with glossy geometric grey tiles? For the top half, pale blue bathroom wall tiles in a matt finish will enhance the aesthetic, and you can bring the different designs together by making everything from the colour of your curtains to towels and bed linen match with the wall tones. If you’re looking to combine a seamless aesthetic with a distinctive bathroom splashback, why not clad the walls with grey-green tiles and mark boundaries between blocks of colour with black accents? That way, you can enjoy a bold colour scheme without disrupt9ing the sensation of serenity.
Whether you’re opting for an array of unmissable bold shades or letting the finish of your bathroom wall tiles do the talking, colour blocking is no doubt one of the simplest – and most popular – ways to make an impact with interior design.
