Bathrooms with patterns and decors – photos and ideas

How to use patterns in the bathroom

Pattern is the quickest way to a distinctive bathroom. It can be patterned flooring in the style of cement tiles, decor complemented by a solid colour series, hexagons, mosaics, or metro tiles. They all have one thing in common – they work best on one surface.

• Patterned floor: the most popular choice. Keep the walls a solid colour in a shade from the pattern.
• Decor in a niche or behind the sink: a small area with a big effect that can be matched with new furniture at any time.
• WC: a small room where you can afford a bolder pattern and colour.
• Retro bathroom: patterned floor, metro tiles, freestanding bath and taps with cross handles.

Patterned tiles are practical on the floor too – small dirt and water stains are less visible than on a solid colour. To avoid the bathroom feeling like a museum, combine one retro element with a modern large format on the walls. For patterned floors, choose grout in a shade that matches the base to avoid breaking the pattern. Ideas for the WC can be found in the article WC Tiles, terrazzo on a separate page bathrooms with terrazzo. More ideas with colours and patterns are brought by trends.
