Give your bathroom a spring makeover

Wall tiles offer a great deal of scope for bath­room design. More and more home own­ers and ten­ants are mak­ing good use of this offer and are no longer afraid of exper­i­ment­ing with col­or. Pas­tel shades, for instance, are very much in vogue these days, ran­ging from soft green and sunny yel­low to rasp­berry red and sky blue. In addi­tion to trends like pur­ism and vin­tage, also dec­or­at­ive tiles imit­at­ing the look of nat­ur­al wood are on the rise. Why not bring spring and nature into your bath­room? But when under­tak­ing a renov­a­tion or build­ing pro­ject, you should also pay atten­tion to a healthy liv­ing envir­on­ment and only use install­a­tion mater­i­als that have been cer­ti­fied to com­ply with EMICODE®.

You’re fed up with old-fash­ioned tile col­ors and pat­terns? You find white, grey or beige walls too bor­ing or mono­ton­ous? Then it’s high time to bring a breath of fresh air into your bath. Wall tiles made of stone­ware or ceram­ic offer a par­tic­u­larly wide range of design options. They can be installed in stripes, rows, col­or blocks or in a brick-like staggered pat­tern.

Sunny yel­low, soft green or a del­ic­ate sky blue? When it comes to col­or, pas­tel shades are a mega­trend and can put you in a spring­time mood. A great hit are also dec­or­at­ive tiles that imit­ate the look of wooden planks. You want a ver­it­able explo­sion of col­or? Then choose tiles that are hardly dis­tin­guish­able from mosa­ic. Unlike the ori­gin­al, they are also avail­able at a low price.

Tiles rep­lic­at­ing the look of nat­ur­al stone or wood are unob­trus­ive and time­less in effect. For this reas­on, they fit in with every interi­or style. The spe­cial sur­face tex­ture of new tiles with “wood grain effect” even provides a tact­ile exper­i­ence. By con­trast, dec­or­at­ive vin­tage or retro look tiles sat­is­fy our nos­tal­gic long­ing for times past. Tiles with geo­met­ric pat­terns also remain in vogue. But beware of par­tic­u­larly fancy or wild pat­terns: they are not really suit­able for small bath­rooms since they cre­ate a feel­ing of con­fine­ment and clut­ter.
