The best tile combination for bathrooms

Deciding on tile combinations for a bathroom that reflects your personality and tastes can often be a real challenge. That’s why, in this article, we will give you some ideas on how to personalise your bathroom using tiles that provide the perfect combination to suit you.

Combinations of coloured tiles for bathrooms

What is the best tile combination for your bathroom? There is no correct answer, it is simply the one that you like the most. There are so many options that it all depends on your personality and what you want to reflect through that space.

What is the ideal colour for a bathroom? 

As we have already mentioned, the ideal colour for a bathroom depends on the effect you want to achieve. If you want a bright bathroom, it is best to opt for light tones such as white.

For contrast and a more modern touch, you can opt for warmer shades of grey, or even black may be the best choice in some areas.

If you are looking to create an elegant and neutral bathroom, beige or light brown are a must. And in bathrooms where you want to reflect a cheerful and unique personality, opt for pastel tones as they will be a safe bet to fill this space with vitality and joy.

Tile combinations for small bathrooms

It is always the same goal in smaller bathrooms: to visually enlarge the space. Beyond total white and the use of mirrors as elements that function as vanishing points, these are the best tile combinations for small bathrooms:

The most natural combination: stone and wood

Verse Concept White Collection, Keraben

Stone and wood can be the ideal combination with which to enlarge the space of a small bathroom. Choose light colours to enhance the effect of spaciousness. Keraben's Verse collection in its White tone will combine perfectly with a light Wood tone, such as Ibero's Wewood Cream.

Matching the texture: smooth and textured effect

You can make a small bathroom appear larger by highlighting areas such as the sink or shower with a textured effect.

Barrington Cream Collection, Keraben

Using light colours, you can opt for Barrington by Keraben, combining the Cream or White tone with its corresponding Art tone.  

Two colours in the form of a frieze 

Hikari White Collection, Íbero

To achieve the visual effect of a larger bathroom, use a light tone in the general tiling, such as Ibero's Hikari White; and create a frieze that runs halfway along the bathroom in a contrasting tone, such as Wewood's Crema tone, installed horizontally. 

How to combine tiles in the shower?

The shower is a key feature when it comes to bathroom tiling. A good combination of tiles in this area is essential, especially if we want it to stand out from the rest of the room. 

If you want the shower to be the focal point, cover it with the textured or colourful tiles of the combination that you have chosen for your bathroom. 

Yera Art Beige Collection, Metropol

In this way, all eyes will be on that space. For example, if you have chosen to combine two textures from Metropol's Yera collection, Art Beige and Beige, fit the shower with Art Beige to make it stand out.

Tapiz Concept Blue, Keraben

In a neutral bathroom where you want to highlight the shower with a different touch of colour, you can use the Tapiz Marfil tone by Keraben throughout the bathroom, and the Blue or Terracotta tones in the shower.
