Spoilt for choice, you may just be wondering just where to begin. Here are our 5 top ideas to inspire you to explore this beautiful world of colour.

Dazzling oranges

Looking to create an uplifting, vibrant experience?  Then look no further than the RAL colour chart of oranges or yellows. From fresh apricot to warm terracotta, these colours are perfect all year round, bringing warmth to the bathroom in cooler months and celebrating the sun in the summertime.  These colours infuse the room with a vitality, fun and optimism such as the orange  finish which announces the Pescadero bath as the undisputed focal point of the room, injecting a year round joyful mood which promises to keep your spirits uplifted.

On point greys

From pebble tones to industrial graphite, chic grey is perfect for a soothing effect. Known for versatility, grey works well with any other colours you bring into the bathroom space. From darker shades which add a dramatic flair to lighter tones of grey, this classic colour brings a neutral palette, inviting you to build on it to allow your personality to shine in this space.  This opens up a world of design world of flexibility: from a theme of relaxation to a boutique hotel feel, oozing a sense of style and sophistication such as including marble tiles with the grey finish of the Cheshire bath.

Enchanting Reds

Turn heads in your bathroom with ravishing red tones that will add vibrancy and energy to any interior design scheme. If you are looking to take elegant luxury to the next level, then it’s time to dip your toes (well at least your bath first, and then your toes) into the decadence of the red colour chart.  This colour has an undeniably breath-taking impact on the room and, in turn, your bathroom experience. Here you get to make a personal statement: from bright reds which make the room come alive to a red so deep it takes on a purple hue such as the Cheshire bath which ushers in a majestic ambience inspiring indulgent relaxation.

Sunny Yellows

Inject a pop of colour with sunshine yellow, or opt for a soothing golden glow.  Bright yellows and golds bring warmth to the space while pastel yellows add an uplifting feel.   With current trends shifting towards bolder, brighter colours, introducing a pop of colour such as the Hampshire bath creates an unforgettable visual impact, ushering vibrancy and character into the room. From deep and earthy to lighter or brighter shades, you get to personalise this space, celebrating your bathroom as your happy place.

Versatile greens

Crisp and fresh, green evokes an elegant, relaxing look.  Choosing a medium green shade and setting it against a bright colour such as a gold claw foot creates a personalised space using this versatile colour to create a luxurious feel.  The result is a harmonious contrasting of colours, creating a look which shows your individual aesthetic. This shade brings a modern take to the Shropshire bath design, creating a sense of on point stylishness.  Highlighting the inside white of the bath, this evocative colour naturally commands attention while allowing you the freedom to play with patterned background shades of browns, greys, black to add a further textured dimension to the room.

Final Touches

With the wide colour spectrum on offer, you are definitely spoilt for choice:  rich reds, invigorating yellows, botanical greens, calming blues, spa-like whites, chic greys, uplifting oranges, statement making pinks, luxe purples, earthy browns and striking blacks - one thing is certain, when introducing colour into a bathroom, you get to create the ambience and experience of your choice. 

Choosing evocative colours opens up a world of design possibilities to express your individual style,  creating a personalised haven where you get to relax at the end of the day or prepare for the day ahead.  And with the colour finishes from Victoria + Albert, you get to do just that.
