Tile colour in the bathroom: How colours influence the atmosphere in your bathroom

Why the colour of bathroom tiles is so important

The colour of the tiles in the bathroom is much more than just a design decision. It influences how large a room appears, what atmosphere is created and how harmoniously the bathroom fits into the overall concept of the home. Light-coloured tiles create openness and spaciousness, while dark tones add elegant accents and lend depth.

Natural colours such as sand, sage and greige – a modern mix of grey and beige – are particularly on trend. These shades have a calming, timeless effect and can be combined beautifully with wood, stone or metal.

Tip: If you want to make small bathrooms look bigger, go for light-coloured tiles and large-format coverings.

Effect of different tile colours in the bathroom

  • White & Cream: bright, classic, friendly
  • Grey & Anthracite: modern, elegant, urban
  • Pastel shades: fresh, light, cosy
  • Dark blue & black: high-contrast, luxurious, atmospheric


Choosing the right tile colour for your bathroom therefore determines not only its appearance, but also its feel-good atmosphere.
