Pink tiles in the bathroom - romance and modern fashion

In the last decade, pink tones for bathroom design have come into fashion, which applies to both finishing materials and interior items, plumbing fixtures, and accessories. Pink bathroom tiles gained popularity in the mid-twentieth century in the United States, and subsequently the preferred color shades changed in accordance with new fashion trends.

Features of the influence of pink shades on humans

Scientists have long proven that the color scheme surrounding a person has a direct impact on his well-being, mood and psychological state. It is well known that pink color is a mixture of white and red, so the following properties are attributed to it:

• Red color has an exciting and stimulating effect. But, due to increased irritability after a long stay in an environment decorated predominantly in this color, red is not recommended for active use in premises of any purpose.
• White is a mixture of all colors, so it is considered neutral for the human psyche.
• The combination of white and red creates a certain halo of romance and brings nobility and sophistication to the bathroom interior. Under its influence, a person’s perception becomes more optimistic and sensual.
• Pink tiles for the bathroom are quite practical - they visually enlarge the room, but, unlike white ones, they are not so easily soiled.

Choosing the color scheme of the room

Creating a pink bathroom

Some recommendations from designers regarding the combination of different shades of pink tile palette in the interior of bathrooms:

• The choice of the optimal shade depends not only on the taste preferences of the owners, but also on the size of the room. To decorate small bathrooms, it is recommended to give preference to pastel light colors of tiles. Cool light shades visually enlarge the space, while saturated ones, for example, lilac and raspberry, narrow it.
• In cases where the dimensions of the room allow the use of bright colors, then designers recommend introducing white accents into the decoration, which will smooth out the somewhat garish impression created by the abundance of bright pink. White and purple bathroom tiles can be laid in any pattern, and this combination is organically complemented by white sanitary ware and furniture.

Secrets of creating a beautiful and original color scheme

You can choose a combination of ceramic tiles of different colors yourself, following these recommendations:

1. Define base colors. Combinations that can be considered traditional are:
   • Yellow and purple bathroom tiles;
   • Orange and blue;
   • Red and green.

2. Choose tint triads from contrasting colors that are in harmony with each other. Such combinations of tiles make the bathroom decoration quite bright and original. Classic combinations:
   • Yellow, red, blue;
   • Brown, purple, green.

3. If cold tones predominate in the cladding: bathroom tiles are lilac, blue, turquoise, green, then the design of the room, to give it coziness, is often complemented with details of warm shades: terracotta, yellow, orange.
4. Bright colors are preferred (raspberry, lilac). The shade range should not be limited exclusively to neutral tones: white, gray, black, brown. It is bright accents that bring originality to the bathroom interior and make it “play.”

5. It is recommended to adhere to the proportion 60-30-10 in color schemes (the numbers reflect the percentage of surface areas of different colors). In this case, not only the colors of the floor, ceiling and walls are taken into account, but also furniture, plumbing fixtures, decorative elements and accessories.

Original color combinations for bathroom decoration

You can create an unusual room design using the following combinations:

• A combination of purple, pink and sea blue tiles in the bathroom can give the interior a feeling of serenity and lightness. By varying the intensity of each shade, you can create the image of ocean or sea waves. This requires a “stretch” of color from floor to ceiling “from dark to light” and a predominance of wavy lines.

• For a bathroom of any size, a combination of an azure background with pink shades is suitable, which, in combination with smooth transitions from dark (bottom) to light (under the ceiling), gives the interior lightness and peaceful calm.
• Ceramic tiles for the bathroom, pink and white, with a bright floor covering and light walls with a small number of decorative color accents, look very unusual.

• Sometimes ordinary ceramic tiles are combined with decorative stone, washable wallpaper, and smalt, which creates unique effects.
• The combination of pink tiles with mosaics, in particular glass ones, of similar shades looks good. Mosaic can be in the form of panels or inserts.

Style of laying tiles in the bathroom

In addition to the choice of color combinations, the method of laying tiles is also a significant factor in shaping the image of the interior:

1. The classic style is characterized by light cladding at the top of the wall and a darker shade at the bottom. In this case, for example, lilac and soft pink, dark purple and light lilac tiles for the bathroom can be combined. The finishing with this solution is decorated with relief or patterned inserts, baseboards, borders, friezes.
2. The geometric direction, quite relevant today, is characterized by a pattern of circles, triangles, squares and other shapes. This style is suitable for bright and creative people.
3. Photo prints are great for a modern style bathroom. As a rule, these are photographic images of city or natural landscapes that visually expand the space of the room, so this style is relevant for small bathrooms. Landscapes depicting sunset or sunrise look great in pink tones.
4. Large format tiles are a fairly new design trend. The size of the rectangular tiles significantly exceeds the standard dimensions of 15x15 cm.

[note]In addition to their stylish appearance, large-format tiles can significantly increase the space of a room visually. When laid vertically, it makes the bathroom visually taller, and when laid horizontally, it makes it wider. [/note]

The popularity of bathroom design in pink tones is in some cases associated with nostalgic motives, but often the reason for such popularity is usually the high cost of finishing it, symbolizing the wealth of the owners. At the moment, pink bathroom tiles made from expensive materials can be used in combination with luxurious decor and interior items. However, there are also offers of economy class tiles on the market, so you can choose the most suitable option and create a stylish interior in fashionable colors with almost any budget.
