Yellow and gold tiles in the bathroom interior

Sunny yellow, lemon, yellow-orange, bright sunflower, mustard and other shades of yellow saturate the bathroom interior with lively energy and make it very bright. The main role in this, of course, is played by yellow bathroom tiles of various textures. Invigorating colors ensure a quick awakening from sleep, promote a good mood for the coming day and add a little fantasy and playfulness to the entire home interior. Yellow is more often used than other electric colors in bathroom decoration. We will tell you in this article what sizes of bathrooms yellow is suitable for, what shades it combines with, and how to choose sanitary ware and textiles for the finish.

For which bathrooms is an interior in yellow tones appropriate?

The yellow color is harmonious in itself and a room of any size benefits from its presence in the interior. It is advisable to decorate a small space with light shades; here, yellow bathroom tiles would be more than appropriate.

Today, thousands of projects have already been implemented to renovate bathrooms and combined bathrooms using yellow tiles. You can easily take one of the ready-made interiors shown in the photo in the article as a basis for your own idea.

Designer recommendations

In yellow tones you can decorate a bathroom in a classic style, as well as modern, hi-tech, retro, country and others.

Designers recommend:

• use yellow on large areas: walls, floors, ceilings;
• for small bathrooms it is better to use glossy textures, since the reflective ceiling and shiny yellow bathroom tiles visually increase the space;
• shorter walls of a rectangular room should be finished in the lightest colors;
• vertical ornaments, drawings and decorative interior items affect the visual perception of the volume of the room;
• if you use small and small tiles, the room will look especially cozy and homely;
• You should not get carried away with monochromatic design, it deprives the space of visual appeal and imagination; it is necessary to use other shades in the bathroom interior.

What colors can be combined with shades of yellow?

Bathroom interiors look great where the main yellow background is complemented by blue, white, red, green and all shades of natural wood.

Restrained tones of yellow: beige, lemon cream, caramel, light mustard are recommended to be combined with brown tones.

It is better to accent the bathroom interior with items in red and orange tones. This makes the bathroom cozier and brighter at the same time.

Gold bathroom tiles look great in combination with other shades of yellow.

On the floor, as a rule, tiles or other coverings of darker shades are used.

[note]For flooring in bathrooms, it is better to use tiles with a rough surface. This will make the floor less slippery and prevent accidental falls. [/note]

Ready-made solutions from well-known manufacturers

Yellow color is a frequent guest of fashionable tile collections. We have selected some interesting examples for you:

• Polish Piccadilly (London) has the most “flashy” color of all. This is the choice for lovers of extravagance and will truly challenge your imagination. In addition to yellow, you can purchase tiles in black, bright red and white to complement the interior.

• If you are decorating a children's bathroom, you cannot go past the “Zoo” collection from the Sokol plant. The collection contains many colors, but yellow is the brightest and most luscious. The decor with a cheerful giraffe and friezes with bees or ladybugs deserve special attention.

 

• A fresh solution - Ricamo from Cersanit - will suit romantic natures. The decoration uses almost pastel and lemon shades of yellow. The delicate color scheme is complemented by a floral ornament in the form of lilies. It is worth noting that the ornament is applied using silk-screen printing, which means it will not lose its appearance even after years of use.

How to choose plumbing fixtures, textiles and other interior items to match the yellow finish

When choosing plumbing fixtures and accessories for the bathroom, it is necessary, first of all, to achieve maximum convenience, functionality and visual appeal of the room as a whole using the following rules:

• When it comes to plumbing, acrylic bathtubs and cast countertop sinks are very popular today. Acrylic is a lightweight, practical material and is an excellent alternative to enamel-coated cast iron. White bathtubs and sinks pair well with yellow trim. You can also use plumbing fixtures to match the finish.
• Additional decoration for the interior can be heated towel rails and faucets made of bronze or with a yellow coating, mirrors in bright frames in rich yellow shades, hooks, door handles, lamps - yellow wall and floor tiles in the bathroom will only benefit from the presence of such accessories.
• Textiles are chosen based on personal preferences: brown, orange, green, blue towels on a yellow background are an excellent option. Large towels are convenient to use after taking a shower; for morning washing it is better to use small towels of a finer structure.

Gold tiles – luxury in the interior

Gold tiles for the bathroom are an excellent option for those who want to add a little luxury to the room and, in general, want the interior to look rich and emphasize the high social status of the homeowners. It is worth noting that in our time, such finishing is still fashionable, and does not leave the covers of magazines dedicated to decor.

To ensure that the “golden” interior does not look pretentious, but harmonious, you should follow a few simple rules:

• Imitation gold does not have to cover all surfaces of the room; however, gold tiles can be used both as an additional color and as a base color.
• Red, cream or black tiles complement the gold trim in an elegant way.
• It is better to use not just plain gold gloss, but a material that plays with the texture in an interesting way, for example, a gold imitation of stone, fabric or brick. You can also use tiles with floral motifs or geometric patterns.

You can trust the opinion of professional designers and choose a collection with gold trim from a well-known manufacturer, for example:

• “Golden Waterfall” from Kerama Marazzi contains both wall tiles in two shades (light and darker), and a ready-made mosaic solution in the form of decor, also consisting of soft beige and golden elements. Of course, the idea would not be complete without floor tiles with a light texture like natural stone.

• The Italian brand Bisazza presents two mosaic collections that embody yellow gold and white gold - Oro and Oro Bis. This finish produces an incredible effect due to the metal foil placed inside the material.

• If you want your bathroom to simply shine, you should pay attention to the collections of the Chinese manufacturer Vivere. Mirror mosaic is sold in a grid format, which makes it much easier to install and looks truly gorgeous.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with the decoration of your bathroom and give preference to models that are close to your character. After all, some people need a lot of details that can distract and entertain them, while others want simplicity and practicality. If you are not constant and like change, then choose inexpensive finishing materials that can easily be replaced over time.
