Whether you tile a backsplash yourself or not, it’s a small job that could make a big difference. Choose vibrant pattern mosaics in a large format to make a statement. Knowing how to paint a bath properly will deliver the best results, so we advise you to follow our easy step-by-step guide. Our go-to place for great quality vinyl flooring is Harvey Maria, you can order samples too and the patterns are stunning. Grown-up and sophisticated, there’s something about a pink and gray scheme that feels prim and proper. And this bathroom by Greg Penn (aka @manwithahammer) has been consciously curated.

The grain of the bamboo vanity goes with veining in the large gray tiles on the remaining walls. The same gray stone is used on the floor but laid in an intricate herringbone pattern. In a space like the bathroom where there are more constraints when it comes to the must-have elements, consider how you can give the mainstays an unexpected twist. For instance, a floating vanity certainly lends a more modern feel, particularly when paired with geometric tile, zero-profile cabinets with sleek pulls, and an oblong sink. A simple paned glass shower wall gives an open feel while still creating a clear delineation between the two separate-use spaces. Black and white tile in various shapes and sizes creates a cohesive feel that’s not at all matchy-matchy.

Bathroom colour ideas

A simple rest room design which uses only one type of tile for the whole area. It uses natural stone ceramic tiles in beige tones, combined with walls painted in a color similar to Sherwin Williams “Cargo Pants 40162”. For the vanity, it uses dark gray quartz countertop with unfinished wood cabinets. For this master lavatory, a combination of natural stone ceramic tiles was used for the floor and the walls. The upper part of the walls are in light sage paint with rough finishing effect reminiscent of raw concrete walls.

Highlight a Feature Wall

A bold floor pattern that is crisp and clean will give your bathroom the contemporary edge. This petite powder room from Cathie Hong Interiors has a textured pink wall treatment that adds color and interest. Filizola also suggests cutting storage niches into your walls—it’s not only an aesthetic choice, but it will also improve functionality. “Instead of having cabinets or shelves protruding out of the wall and reducing the usable space, you create storage inwards so there’s nothing in your way,” she says. According to Demorrow, refreshing your lighting can be one of the easiest ways to add visual interest without taking up any space at all. “A single fixture in the bathroom can provide energy-efficient lighting, a fan feature, and a little glam,” she says.
