How do you use colour in a bathroom without making it feel trend-led?
A classic bathroom will often start with a restrained, neutral palette - but that doesn’t mean colour is off limits.
One of the easiest ways to introduce more colour is through a tone-on-tone scheme. Choose different shades of the same colour family across walls, tiles, furniture or sanitaryware, rather than bringing in lots of competing tones.
Muted greens work beautifully with oak and black details. Warm terracotta and cinnamon shades sit comfortably alongside stone and natural textures. Deeper reds can feel rich and calm when they’re balanced with softer neutrals.
Keeping the palette limited, repeating colours around the room and pairing them with natural materials helps the space feel considered rather than fashionable.
Colour can still feel classic, it’s how you use it that makes the difference.
