Using Patterned Tiles in your Bathroom
Not many people think of making their bathroom a beautiful place to spend time, but the average adult will spend 416 days in their bathroom over their lifetime. So, why not make it a comfortable, nicely decorated space. A big trend for home design in 2020 is patterns. Patterned shirts, pants, bathroom tiles. Here are so really cute ways to bring this trend to your own bathroom.
Patchwork Patterns
Eye catching, utterly fabulous, and downright decadent, there is one particular pattern dominating the trend charts this year, patchwork prints. Once solely the preserve of bank busting but oh so gorgeous cement tiles, they’re now within reach for us regular folk, thanks to digital printing technology. And it’s a good thing too, drape your walls and floors in mis-matched tiles and you’ll have catwalk style in the blink of an eye. Unlike handmade tiles, which require diva-like levels of TLC and have a phobia of water, Regina Flooring’s porcelain pastiches are perfect for bathrooms. Putting on our style doctor hats. We’d suggest using pretty patterns in complementary colours (like this blue and white!) on your bathroom floor to get the best effect. Keep the rest of your room pretty simple to allow these tiles to do the talking, plain white bathtubs and shower rooms, with white and blue towels, and maybe some orange thrown in, is the best way to keep in style, while still adding your own touches.
Feature Flicks
Don’t think feature walls are just for are just for jazzing up living rooms, they’re a tried and tested way to bring depth and impact to a bathroom. If you’re lucky enough to have a freestanding tub, then why not dress up the wall behind in something a little different too? It is a natural focal point, so don’t be afraid to push your creative limits. Walls like this lovely tiled one here bring focus to a beautiful feature of your bathroom, your bathtub, and tiling the wall behind means that splashes and bubbles won’t cause any damage.
Floral Flourish
We’re not sure why, but there’s something about floral prints that makes them a natural fit for almost all bathrooms. Perhaps it is their soothing swishes or maybe they just simply appeal to us. Either way, there is no denying that a bathroom with floral decoration is one we want to spend serious time in. These black and white patterned tiles are really easy to style as well, with black and white tubs and shower fixtures, as well as colourful towels and lots of plants, this is a great way to modernize an older tile pattern.
Geometric Jazz
Living room and kitchen awash with mid-century style? Don’t let your bathroom miss out! Give it a Mad Men makeover with Regina Flooring’s geometric tiles. They’re a lesson in how to shape up the style without distracting from the rest of the décor. So, in other words, they’ll make a perfect backdrop for a room with Rockstar looks. Combine the gentle curves of some circular black and white tile, with some up-cycled vintage furniture for a bathroom with a mid-century modern flavour. To up the retro appeal, bring these tiles up the wall. The patterns will bring the right kind of attention, but the monochrome style will keep your walls pretty grounded. This style of tiling demands simplicity from everything else, colour pops are fine, but keep other patterns or textures to a stark minimum.
