Despite the fairly wide range offered by manufacturers, blue bathroom tiles still remain the most popular finishing material. It fits harmoniously into the interior and is associated by most with the element of water. Perhaps someone will consider the blue color too banal, since it is found everywhere. However, it is not. If you wish, you can always create a spectacular interior using our tips.
Why you should pay attention to blue
According to practicing psychologists, people decide to decorate their bathroom with blue material:
- having a sense of duty;
- confident in their abilities;
- capable of peacefully resolving many conflict situations;
- characterized by balance and calm.
Possible colors
Blue and light blue tiles
Most often, blue tiles for the bathroom are purchased in fairly dark shades. This color is very rich and cool. It can always be diluted by using blue material for finishing. The blue-blue solution looks especially beautiful when choosing a finishing material with a glossy surface.
However, it is important not to overdo it with the amount of dark tones. Such material, especially with a matte surface, visually reduces the available space, and therefore, when decorating a small bathroom, it should be used only to highlight individual elements, for example, for the floor, the bottom of the wall or selected areas. In this case, the finish will not only look very attractive, but will also create a more comfortable environment inside the bathroom.
Blue and white colors
Blue bathroom tiles go well with white materials. This is an almost ideal solution for those who decide to decorate their bathroom in a marine style.
Don't think that the dark color should always be at the bottom. You can tile the bottom of one third of the wall with light tiles, and the rest with blue tiles. The result is sure to result in a very stylish and impressive interior, distinguished by individuality and uniqueness.
What other color does blue go with?
Blue tiles will also go well with the following tiles:
- purple;
- beige;
- creamy (shade of beige);
- sandy;
- pink;
- café au lait colors
- green. It is important to choose a shade here. Most often, preference is given to light colors, but if desired, you can use dark blue material and bright green together.
The most cheerful solution, according to many psychologists, is considered to be a combination of blue and yellow. Especially if the amount of the latter is significantly greater than the former.
Those who want to become the owner of an elegant interior should pay attention to gray. However, sometimes this combination can seem very gloomy to many.
Blue collections from famous manufacturers
The blue color is presented in the works of professional interior designers in a fairly wide range:
- Shakhtinskaya tiles offer shades of blue of medium and low saturation - the Bernardo Blues collection. In addition to blue shades, the tiles have a floral design that looks very romantic and can give the bathroom a rather classic look.
[note]In addition, a similar series is available in purple tones, Blues Violet, which will come in handy if you want to use the “blue + purple” combination. [/note]
- All shades of blue mosaic can be found in the VariableSeries collection from the Piranesi brand. You can either use several similar colors, or make a slight contrast of dark blue with light blue - in any case, your bath will be reminiscent of the warm waters of the ocean. The color palette is complemented by a variety of shapes: there are both classic square elements and a mosaic of diamonds.
- Deep blue comes from the work of Spanish masters, the LordBlanco collection. The solution from the ApeCeramica factory is made in a white and blue “marine” style (for those who like to experiment, the collection is represented by similar tiles in red and black) and complemented by beige decorative elements. Moreover, the decor is represented by both a small pattern and all sorts of attributes - anchors, lifebuoys, etc.
- Cersanit pleases fans of blue tiles with two original solutions:
- DeepBlue will allow you to create a real “sea line” right in your home. The tiles with a smooth texture are available in white and blue, and the border between them is usually made by elements with boats on the waves. The decor will allow you to create exactly the sea you want - with cheerful dolphins, bright palm trees, or combine them together.
- Gzhel is a fairly free variation on the “Gzhel” theme. From folk ornaments, the tiles took on blue and milky shades, as well as a small pattern, which, in turn, was fully developed by the designers and looks very modern. The resulting ethnic mix does not look old-fashioned and is often compared by buyers to “frosty patterns on glass.”
In terms of popularity, the blue color in tile design occupies a solid middle ground, as it finds many fans, but it is not suitable for every room. It is worth noting that completely blue interiors are not in fashion now, therefore, as you may have noticed, our article presents mainly combinations of this color with others. We hope that our recommendations will be useful to you when choosing tiles.
