Bathroom Colour Design Ideas

Rayna Aqua Roman blind, from £129 for a W65cm x 75cm drop, Hillarys

Feel refreshed and relaxed with bathroom colour schemes of sea blues, soft greens, watery aquamarines and deep midnight hues.

WHITE AND AQUA

Start with an all-white backdrop for a truly serene space, opting for painted floorboards and tongue-and- groove panelling to add depth (above). Finish with a block of colour and pattern at the window – a mix of bold blue and aqua will look fresh against all the white. Use these blues for towels and accessories too.

TURQUOISE AND GRAPHITE

Audrey bath painted in South Bank, £3,000; Hudson floorstanding bath and shower mixer,£1,600; Pont-Neuf handmade encaustic tiles, £191.00 a sq metre; all Fired Earth

Add colour in unexpected places, such as on the bath. This bright turquoise brings a bright, contemporary edge to the otherwise classic monochrome scheme. Painting the window woodwork and skirting a graphite grey is another quirky twist, but it defines the off-white walls and tiling beautifully.

GREEN AND PINK

Metropolitan Lazul wall tiles, £79.95 a sq metre, The Winchester Tile Company. Dover White Victorian floor tiles in York pattern, £83.03 a sq metre, Original Style

To get a look that will stand the test of time, ensure the colours are muted. A soft sage is thought to relieve stress, and a powder pink is the perfect pale partner – use it as an accent only and stick to a clotted cream shade for the flooring so everything is subtle, and beautifully harmonious.

DEEP BLUE AND COPPER

Marseille Cyprium copper bateau bath, £2,490, The Cast Iron Bath Company. Similar wall and floor colour, Hicks' Intelligent matt emulsion, £43.50 for 2.5L, Little Greene

Bring some drama with a midnight blue on the walls and floor, but introduce a band of pale blue to break up all the dark colour. Finish this luxurious look with accessories in a contrasting crimson and a statement copper bath.

OLIVE AND AZURE

Henley Cool tiles, £50.96 a sq metre; Henley Cool border, £8.49 for a 22.5cm x 45cm tile; both Topps Tiles

Evoking joyful memories of sunshine holidays by the sea, this colour mix works perfectly on patterned tiles to emphasise an exotic feel.

DECORATING WITH BLUES AND GREENS

• One of the easier colour groups to decorate with, blues and greens work well on their own, simply paired with whites or creams, or used together in a harmonising scheme
• Cool blues such as cobalt, turquoise and ice blue are receding colours, which means they can help make a small room feel bigger – they all bring a sense of calmness
• Prevent pale blues and greens from feeling cold by adding a contrasting accent colour; orange or uplifting coral shades work particularly well with aqua tones
• For a country vibe try teaming a soft blue or a sage green with natural woods and cream, or for a more contemporary look replace the cream with a charcoal grey
• Dark blues and greens have a cocooning effect – perfect for creating a relaxed space to unwind in
