Bathroom Wall Tiles: 5 Unorthodox Colour Choices For a Beautiful Bathroom

In modern homes, the bathroom is now much more than a functional space – it’s seen as a pivotal area where interior design is allowed to shine. Whether you love classic styles, exotic vibes or modern features, there’s plenty of scope for putting your own stamp on your bathroom – which is why so many homeowners are embracing the wonders of colour in this typically practical room.

From the bright and bold to the unconventional, today, we’re sharing some of our favourite unorthodox colours choice for modern bathrooms – leaving you with a beautiful bathroom that’s unique, stylish and undeniably chic.

Bring the sunshine indoors

There’s something about yellow that instantly adds cheer to a room – most likely, it’s the association with sunshine, flowers and warm, summer days. It’s not a colour we often see in bathrooms – but used in the right way, it can add a sense of vibrancy as well as a cool, contemporary edge.

While you may not want an entirely yellow bathroom, teaming this shade with white, grey or even black can deliver a striking contrast that’s bold and beautiful. From making a feature wall with on-trend mustard yellow metro tiles to adding splashes of colour with canary yellow bath linens or citrus-coloured accessories, pops of any shade of yellow are sure to bring the sunshine indoors. As a result, you’ll have a bright, warm and sunny bathroom all year round.

Go old school with vintage-style

With vintage home interiors remaining a mainstay for 2018, it couldn’t be easier to bring some classic styling into your bathroom and embrace some unorthodox colours along the way. From brass and copper accents full of character and charm to Victorian-style bathroom wall tiles that celebrate traditional patterns and colours, inviting a period aesthetic into your bathroom is sure to leave you with a characterful finish. Whether you choose earthy terracotta hues, sky blues or bottle greens, you can introduce a wonderfully unique and stylish feel to small and large spaces.

Add a sense of luxury with red

Similarly, red isn’t a typical go-to bathroom colour, but this rich, intense hue can bring a sense of luxury to a bathroom of any size. Paired with paler hues like white, cream and beige, you can create your own modern take on two-tone bathroom design – while coordinating this colour with darker tones and dark wood is sure to create a more regal feel. Either way, you’ll be adding some serious wow-factor to your bathroom.

For those looking to create an instantly eye-catching aesthetic, why not go bold with bright red walls, white bathroom wall tiles and red coloured grout? Although red is a stand-out colour, it doesn’t have to take over if you don’t want it to. Choosing subtle accents in ruby tones throughout your design can still achieve that sense of luxury and opulence, whether you’re using red shower tiles or mosaic tiles as a decorative border, or embellishing walls and shelves with red ornaments.

Don’t forget the window

Of course, your window can also play a part when it comes to zesting up a bathroom space. Whether you’re sprucing up the sill by adding a vase of fresh flowers in a funky vase or adding a luxe blind, you’ll need to complement your palette in the right way. A colourful, made-to-measure blind will really tie everything together in a bathroom – it’ll not only add a splash of style to the window, but it’ll also keep the heat in – vital on those cold mornings!

The functional style offered by an eye-catching blind will help if you’re looking to create a minimalist bathroom where everything it not only beautiful, but also purposeful.

Get creative with playful patterns

Patterned tiles have been taking centre stage for some time now and, thankfully, this trend is continuing into 2018 – offering plenty of scope for getting creative with patterns and different colours. However, the key to using patterned tiles is not to overdo it – stick with one theme or style of tile and complement these with plain tiles in neutral tones so they draw even more attention.

From pretty Moroccan encaustic tiles in a plethora of different colours to creating your own patterns with coloured tiles for bathrooms, bringing a playful edge to your bathroom with pattern and colour will not only look great, but also guarantee your bathroom stands out from the crowd.
