Looking for an idea for interior decoration
Features of using blue tiles
If you choose blue tiles for the bathroom, you should definitely purchase chrome faucets, snow-white sanitary ware and provide good lighting. With this combination and the presence of a large mirror, even a small room will seem much larger. The presence of smooth and shiny surfaces has excellent reflectivity and will also make the room very bright. However, in this case, there is a possibility that the overall atmosphere in the bathroom will be cool, and the room itself will lack coziness and personality.
Replacing glossy tiles with matte ones will provide a more comfortable atmosphere, but without visually expanding the existing space. It is enough to add white to make the area appear larger. The richer and deeper the blue tone, the more white there should be - this rule will allow you to be satisfied with the results.
It is preferable to choose accessories in warm colors, which include:
- yellow;
- orange;
- brown;
- red.
The combination of blue with light pink or peach looks interesting. This interior looks both moderately harmonious and moderately contrasting. If such a solution seems too unusual to you, you can use tiles of a very pale shade of pink, almost beige.
If you don’t want to combine several different materials at once, you should pay attention to mosaics. Such a bathroom will be very cozy, especially if preference is given not to a plain mosaic, but to one with inclusions.
Sea style
If the room is decorated in a marine style , either blue or azure or turquoise tiles can be used in the bathroom. Any of these colors complements white perfectly.
At the same time, the type of tile does not really matter: both standard and mosaic will look great.
Decorative elements can be chosen in the same tone or in contrasting ones. To decorate the walls, you can use paintings that depict the sea or famous inhabitants of the deep sea. The latter option will be appreciated by families with small children.

For the floor you can use light tiles. If you want to create the illusion of a deck, you can lay laminate or package, but only in bathrooms that are large enough in area.
[note] Various themed accessories will help complete your marine-style interior. Towels must have white and blue stripes. Soap dishes should be purchased in the shape of a starfish or fish. It is also worth placing boats on the shelves. [/note]
Blue tiles from famous manufacturers
Most professional tile designers associate blue color with the sea, so the collections are predominantly marine themed. Let's look at them:
- The collection with the “sea” name “Breeze” from the Sokol plant will help you create an entire aquarium with fish in the bathroom. It contains both the usual dark and light blue elements with waves, as well as decors with various types of fish, sailfish and corals. Moreover, the decors are represented by standard-sized tiles, friezes and various panels.
- If the previous collection was distinguished by a certain “cartoonishness,” then “Laguna” from Uralkeramika attracts precisely because of its similarity to the photo. The tiles allow you to plunge into the underwater world without leaving your home: turtles, jellyfish and dolphins look like real ones. The tiles for finishing the main areas depict sea water and are available in several color variations, so you can decide how deep your “ocean” will be.
- Polish Cersanit delights fans of blue bathroom finishes with the Aqua collection, also endowed with a texture in the style of the underwater world. In addition to the pleasant decor and colored fish, this tile has a layer of glaze that performs water-repellent functions and extends the service life of the material.
Thus, if you chose turquoise or blue bathroom tiles for wall decoration, think about how to lay them. Among the options we have given, it will not be difficult to find a suitable idea for implementation. By following the tips presented, you will definitely be able to create a unique interior that will make you feel comfortable and calm inside the bathroom.
