Stunning Bathroom Wall-Tile Colour Combinations

Bathroom walls are the most underrated and ignored aspects of a bathroom makeover. Most people are content with going for a brighter shade of paint coat to bring about a change. While there’s nothing wrong with that, the idea is painstakingly one-dimensional. Take a look at the following image for reference:

A heady cocktail of the right bathroom wall tiles (hexagonal in this case), a complementary and subtle white paint shade, and customized golden bathroom fixtures are adding layers and layers of character within the space. In this blog, we will look at some of the most interesting bathroom wall tiles you can get inspired by (and make them your own).

Go for Smaller, Softer Bathroom Wall Tile Colours for a Greater Sense of Synergy

Take a close and hard look at the image above. Do you think you would have achieved the same sense of depth and harmony with larger-sized tiles? We think not. If your bathroom has wooden shelves or a wooden stool (as shown here) and neutral off-white shades in terms of bathroom fixtures to begin with, we suggest opting for smaller sized tiles that fall into the light grey colour category. That said, you can go for other kinds of pastel colour shades such as lilac, tangerine, baby blue, and so on.

Grey-Blue Tiles with White Base are Evergreen

If you’re a big fan of the ‘chequered tile’ look (as shown below), it makes sense to go for duller shades that are not too jarring:

This subtle blue-off white shade is not overwhelming for the onlooker. With bathroom wall tiles, the beauty lies in being restrained. One solid wall with a textured or coloured tile can make a world of difference to your bathroom space.

Give Your Shower Area a Boost with a Luxe-Looking Wall Tile

One of the most eye-catching areas in any bathroom is the shower space. It also doubles up as fertile ground for demonstrating your creativity.

A simple and compact shower area is completely transformed by leveraging luxe-looking tiles that lend it a shiny look. Complemented with a softer floor tile, the wall tile stands out heaps and also frames the shower area setting like an instant camera picture. The use of the same tiles on the walls and a subtler floor tile only adds to the beautiful set-up. If you have a similar shower area, it makes sense to take notes from this type of design and give it your personal touch.

If you want an even grander look, here’s another interesting suggestion:

The use of this kind of dark bathroom wall tile with wooden flooring exudes an air of opulence and makes the interiors look extremely stylish, without any added effort. You don’t need external paraphernalia such as plants, storage organizers, or any other form of trinkets to give the bathroom space an uplift. Your wall tiles will do all the work for you.

Yellow Tiles for the Win

Another bathroom wall tile colour combination that works swimmingly well is the following bright yellow shade:

Naysayers might be second-guessing this option but if your home has a modern and sophisticated interior style, this option can turn out to be your best bet. In this image, while going for a glossy finish, the owner completes the look by using a raging red cabinet against a bright-as-the-sun yellow bathroom wall tiles. As you can imagine, using a similar wall tile colour combination transports you into another world–one of the night cafes and the booming New York-style city life–right in the comfort of your own bathroom.
