Vibrant Colourful Bathroom Ideas

Tickled Pink

Pink is building in popularity, and it’s easy to see why. Its versatility means you can create a bathroom that’s soft and muted or bright and bold, depending on the pink you choose.

You also have complete freedom over how much pink you’d like. Colour drench the entire room with pink wall and floor tiles and a full pink bathroom suite, or take the soft approach and introduce pink in the smallest of flourishes, like subtly tinged marble-effect tiles that add a slight romantic glow

Blue Beginnings

Blue may seem like a cliché colour for a bathroom, but it’s cliché for a reason. And that’s because it works. With a beautiful blue, your choices are almost limitless. Azure, teal, sky, aqua, royal, cobalt, cerulean (we’ve all seen that seen in the Devil Wears Prada, right?).

When designing a colourful blue bathroom, really think about the overall effect you would like. Is your blue going to be pale and muted (Bridgerton vibes) or bold and dramatic? Once you’ve made your decision, pick the tiles that speak to you.

Sunset Orange

Orange got a bad rep in the 70s, but we’re here to bring it back. It’s warming, it’s traditional and it absolutely deserves some consideration.

Whether you choose gorgeous terracotta tiles for your new bathroom or something a little more bold, like these stunning rust-coloured brick tiles, your new bathroom could be the talk of the town (or at least the street). Alternatively, pair orange with cream for a softer approach.

Green With Envy

Green is the home of nature, so it’s not surprising that so many shades of green get their names from the natural world: olive, sage, mint, pistachio, moss. Calming and grounding, green is a wonderful choice for your colourful bathroom.

Its popularity comes down to its versatility. A muted green, like sage, works beautifully with white, cream, pink, gold, orange or blue, as well as other shades of green. Create a relaxing spa-like bathroom with muted greens or a space that offers drama and depth with a forest or racing green.

Royal Red

Red is an unusual choice for a bathroom, but don’t let this change your desires. If you want a red bathroom, there are ways you can make this dream a reality and use it to express yourself.

Red can make your bathroom, a place that’s usually a little cold and hard, feel warm and cosy, and you don’t need to choose a tomato red, either. Softer reds include burgundy, brick and rose, and these work beautifully with dark blues, cream and white.

Sunshine Yellow

The colour of happiness, a yellow bathroom will make you smile from ear to ear each time you step foot in it. From mustard to lemon, gold to chartreuse, there’s a yellow for everyone.

You could make a statement with a bright and beautiful yellow bath or make a feature with mustard or gold geometric tiles that add texture. It’s a more versatile colour than you might have first though, and one you can certainly have fun with.

Colourful Tiles And Patterns

If you’re desperate to bring some colour to your bathroom, you can really play with tile colours and patterns to create a room that brings you joy every day.

Geometric tiles are still having a big moment. Modern and playful, you can experiment with both colour and pattern to create a bathroom that feels creative and fun, particularly when laid in chequerboard or herringbone patterns.

Terrazzo is also a wonderful way to add a bit of texture but without necessarily going bold on the colour. When white or cream is used as the base, you can introduce colour through the flecks within the tile, like mustard, teal or coral, without going overboard.

If you’re after more of an old-world, artisan vibe, Moroccan-inspired patchwork tiles or vintage encaustic patterns are the best way to achieve this look while bringing in all the wonderful colours.

Then, there’s colour drenching. A term that describes using one colour throughout an entire room (skirting boards, ceilings and all), it’s such an incredible design technique that really transforms a room. Make your bathroom feel cosy by colour drenching all your tiled sections (walls and floors) and even painting the ceiling a colour that matches.

If full-on colour feels too much for you, then you can instead use your bathroom tiles to highlight certain architectural features: behind the bath or around a shower niche.

When choosing your tiles, order a few samples to see which you love the most, or visit one of our nationwide bathroom showrooms to see the full ranges.

Colourful Vanities, Fittings And Furniture

Perhaps you don’t want to make a colourful impression with your walls but with the fittings and fixtures, instead. This is where colour meets functionality and becomes so playful.

Experiment with vanity units in a range of joyful shades: blush pink, sage green, rich eggplant, midnight blue. Match your bathtub in the same shade, or contrast it! Contrasting baths are right on trend and allow you to introduce more than one colour to your bathroom. Bring it all together with coloured tiles that marry.

And when you thought about introducing colour to your bathroom, had you considered those little details, the fittings? Don’t design your dream bathroom and install silver taps and spotlights. Think about how you can use colour in every way, from a brushed brass or matt black tap to coloured ceramics on knobs.

Wallpapers And Artistic Finishes

Wallpaper? In a bathroom?

Absolutely. It won’t peel or fade, provided it’s not used near any splash zones, like behind the bath, and you use the right paper. Vinyl or vinyl-coated paper is the most water-resistant type, and it can be wiped down too.

Wallpaper can be a great option if you want a little more drama on your bathroom walls than a tile can offer. Think oversized florals, tropical motifs or sculpted geometrics to add some personality and flair. Combine it with tiles that match in colour and style to create a bathroom that is practical and beautiful.

If wallpaper isn’t an option, perhaps there’s something else you can do to bring something extra to a half-tiled bathroom. Think about tinted Venetian plaster or lime‑wash finishes to add a little texture to the walls. These can be blended with colour to soften the transitions between bathroom zones.

Why Create A Colourful Bathroom?

There are so many reasons why you should take the leap and create a stunning colourful bathroom. It becomes a space that lifts your mood and makes even the dullest morning suddenly feel a little brighter. Colour has the power to transform a bathroom from a purely functional room into a place you actually want to spend time in.

Rules don’t apply. Just have fun creating a place that makes you feel happy, energised, and completely at home.
