5 Classic Bathroom Colour Schemes

As a predominantly functional space, the bathroom can often be overlooked when it comes to interior design in the home – taking a backseat to the living area, kitchen and bedrooms. However, with just a touch of TLC and one of 5 classic colour schemes, you can transform this practical room into a relaxing and stylish haven. Let’s find out how.
- Get gorgeous with grey
Grey is a great choice for those who want to achieve a fairly understated aesthetic in terms of colour – and, when paired with bronze fixtures and fittings, you can have all the benefits of a neutral space, coupled with opulent tones. From light patchwork to dark floral patterns, grey bathroom tiles are available in various shapes and sizes – allowing you to create an ornate, intricate feature wall or introduce some eye-catching flooring to the space. Our Identity range of bathroom tiles, for example, is ideal for creating a contemporary statement feature wall using a distressed look.
If luxury is on your agenda, this is the colour scheme for you.
- Go brilliant with blue
If you’re keen to brighten up your bathroom, blue is the perfect base colour. Available in a wide variety of shades, you can choose anything from serene aqua to royal navy – using different tones to add depth to the room. For an easy way to inject this colour into your bathroom, experiment with blue bathroom tiles for your floors or metro tiles for your walls and accessorise with blue towels, toothbrush holders and soap dishes to complete the look.
Cool blues are great for the summer, but you might want to choose a deeper shade for the chilly winter months.
- Warm up with terracotta

To create a truly homely and cosy bathroom, homeowners can work with rich shades – and brown, orange and terracotta bathroom tiles can help to bring this vision to life. For an all-encompassing wetroom look, use the same tiles for both your walls and floors, creating a seamless room with the illusion of added space.
Pair with fluffy cream towels and chunky knit floor mats to add extra warmth and texture.
- Wow with white
When it comes to classic bathroom colour schemes, you can’t go wrong with a blank canvas – and a whitewashed room will mean you can switch up yourcolour scheme with minimal hassle or cost. By choosing white, you can maintain a pristine base and change up the accent colour with items that are easier to replace – like towels, shower curtains and decorative fitments.
To achieve an irresistibly vintage finish, couple white bathroom tiles with wooden furniture and cream accessories.
- Create a base with beige
A softer, more neutral colour than stark white, beige offers similar appeal while being a touch warmer. Whether tiling around your bath or creating a wood-effect feature wall, beige bathroom tiles – such as those in our Balma range – will treat your bathroom to plenty of colour, without overpowering the space.
Cream glossy metro tiles are a great option for the walls, while matt hexagonal tiles work well for floors.
