Bathroom Colour Scheme Ideas

 

The colour scheme used in a room has a big impact on the look and feel of the space. When used incorrectly, some colours can make a room feel large and cold or even shrink the space and make it appear cramped. Colours also carry with them certain moods and psychologies. That’s why it’s so important to find the right colour scheme that you not only love the look of but that also creates the right atmosphere for the room.  

Be inspired by some of these bathroom design ideas and find the right colour scheme for your interior…

 

The Natural Look

 

Using natural stone effect tiles as the main feature in your bathroom design not only provides a subtle and unique pattern but adds warmth, character and style to the space. This type of tile lends itself beautifully to a neutral colour scheme.

The stunning natural effect of stone combined with neutral colours such as whites creates a calming and serene atmosphere perfect for a soothing bathroom experience. If you want to add a bit of intrigue to your design, add in a muted colour for a bit of contrast without disturbing the tranquil mood. Here, we’ve used the Camberwell furniture unit in Warm Beige to complement the colour of the feature wall. When it comes to your brassware and accessories, Chrome is the perfect finish for this colour scheme. This classic finish retreats into the background of the design, allowing your calming colour scheme to take centre stage.

This colour scheme is perfect for both bathrooms that get a lot of natural light and those that only have a small window. But if you want to improve the lighting, opt for the Shoreditch mirror. The LED light band creates a white light, illuminating your face to give the perfect reflection.

Cheerful Colours for Positive Vibes

 

A bathroom is both a place to get energised and ready for the day and a soothing place to unwind at night. Bright and cheerful colours create a positive and fun energy, turning your room into a space that will boost your mood no matter the time of day.

The light pink used here as the main colour brings a warm and inviting aura to this space. By pairing this colour with a white wall, the pink becomes the focal point, enhancing the positive effect of this tone. Whether you opt for light pink or an alternative pastel colour, bringing light wood elements into the space will create a beautiful visual and bring additional warmth into the scheme. Here, the use of our Hackney unit in Cherry Wood Effect complements to walls beautifully and creates a link between the floor and wall designs. Hackney is a wonderful addition to both small and large bathrooms alike. The modular nature of this furniture range means that you can create the perfect furniture unit for your storage needs by combining a number of different elements.

To complete your design, opt for Chrome brassware and accessories. This colour is ideal for a lighter-coloured bathroom and doesn’t distract from your chosen focal tone. Our brassware and accessory ranges are designed to perfectly colour match, meaning that all parts, from your basin tap to your toilet flush button will have the same matching finish. 

Alluring Deep Green Tones

 

Dark green has become a favourite in both modern and traditional interiors alike. Popular for its relaxing spa-like aesthetic and association with nature, dark green makes for a stunning colour scheme in the bathroom. At its core, green can make you feel calm and centred and is associated with rejuvenation and renewal. Selecting a darker tone also brings a warm and inviting energy into the space.

For a maximalist aesthetic, pair dark green tiles with an eccentric wallpaper design to increase the comfort in your space. Dark green can also give a regal impression, making Brushed Brass the perfect accompaniment. Pairing this colour scheme with Brushed Brass brassware and accessories creates a truly luxurious appearance and offers a beautiful contrast between light and dark. To make your colours pop, opt for crisp white ceramics, such as our Curve2 basin and back-to-wall WC. The striking difference between the bright white and dark green creates a point of interest in your design while highlighting the beauty of your chosen green. 

Modern Monochrome

 

While monochrome may only use black and white tones, it is anything but boring. A monochrome colour scheme can make for some truly modern, creative and intriguing designs. When working with a monochrome colour scheme, the first thing to remember is that you aren’t just limited to black and white. Incorporating shades of grey can turn a basic design into something beautiful.

The light grey wall tiles used here bring an interesting element into the design by introducing a shade between the deep black and bright white used. Opting for a patterned tile is also a great way to bring creativity into the space and break up the simplicity of block colour. By bringing in the light grey tone, a greater contrast is created with the Matt Black brassware and accessories, drawing the eye to the deep, sophisticated finish.

To allow more of the tiled wall to be visible, a wall-hung Dalston basin has been used. The minimal design of this basin provides all the necessary functionality without taking up as much space.
