Winter-inspired tiles for your bathroom

With seasonal tones often used to inspire interior décor, the more muted colour palette of winter has lots to offer, particularly if you like the minimalist look and enjoy soothing neutral tones. The following blog will subsequently look at some tile ideas which will help you cultivate a calm and tranquil vibe in your bathroom.

So, if you’re in need of some winter-inspired tiling for your home, read to the end of the blog to find out what we suggest.

Winter's colour palette can be used as inspiration for your bathroom tiling and is great for creating a ccalming vibe.

Beautiful Blue tones for your bathroom

While winter may at first seem to be more associated with cool white tones, there’s much more scope within this season than may at first meet the eye. From striking ice-blue skies and golden sunrises to the rich brown tones of tree trunks stripped bare of leaves – and the rich evergreens still flourishing – there’s a lot more colour in winter than you might think.

Blue is well-known as being a calming colour which enhances our mood and therefore promotes better wellbeing, so this is a great shade for your bathroom tiles. The Atlantida Blue Polished Rectified Tile is a large-format marble-effect tile with a blue base tone and copper and white veining which gives it a luxury marble effect and adds texture and depth to the design.

Made from hard-wearing porcelain and with a smooth gloss finish, this tile is an inspired take on winter’s colour palette and will add instant visual interest to your bathroom.

The electric blue tone of the Penny Natureglass Turquoise Matt Non-slip Mosaic Sheet, meanwhile, is a more vibrant blue tile which will add instant character to your bathroom. So, if you want something brighter, then these tiles, with their interesting hexagonal shape and textured mosaic design, are ideal. Paired with contrasting white grouting, the Penny Natureglass Mosaic Sheet embodies the cool blue and white hues of a winter’s day and will make your bathroom pop, creating a cheerful ambience.

Neutral tiles for a winter-themed space

If blue isn’t quite your colour, however, then a more neutral aesthetic might be a better choice. Indeed, white remains a popular tone for bathrooms and carries a clean, fresh aesthetic. It also needn’t be associated with creating a cold space, as you can soften it with off-white tones and creams, as well as marble-effect tiles with veining detail.

Grey is another neutral tone which will add calming vibes and has that wintry aesthetic without being harsh or cold. Indeed, it’s a great softening tone and can help to balance out whites or be used in combination with a paler colour palette to deliver a gentler look.

For example, if you like the marble-effect style, then the Calacatta White Rectified Polished White Body Tile is ideal, as this large rectangular tile has a white base tone overlaid with grey veining detail. This helps to break up the white and adds texture and contrast, as well as visual interest. With the stone-effect style remaining a trending look as this year draws to a close, marble-effect designs are ideal if you like this trend and want something which has a timeless, elegant quality.

Suitable for both walls and floors, the Calacatta White Tile also has rectified edges, so can be laid more closely together for a seamless look, with a glazed finish which is great for reflecting light.

Another good choice for the neutral colour palette is the Gemstone Pyrite White Body Tile, a glossy herringbone-style tile with a white-grey colour palette. Suitable for laying in a variety of patterns, including horizontal, vertical, brick-effect style or in a chevron format, these tiles are very versatile, while the light grey tone will complement a wide range of décor.

Botanical tiling for an evergreen aesthetic

Moving away from wintry white and grey, if you prefer a more evergreen look for your tiles, then there are plenty of tiles with a greenery-inspired look which are ideal.

For instance, if you want a deep, forest-green shade, then the Mykonos Emerald Mosaic Sheet is a great choice. The hexagonal shape of the tiles combined with their undulating green tone, which varies in intensity across the sheet, all creates visual interest, while also adding depth.

Fine etching detailing further brings a textured look to the tiles, which are ideal for creating splash-backs or feature walls. The gloss finish also has good light-reflecting properties and will help to lighten your bathroom space.

Featuring a botanical pattern, the Garden Décor Green Tile has a white base tone with a pale green leaf design on top. This large-format wall tile has a rectangular shape and a modern matt finish which will instantly draw the eye.

Made from hard-wearing ceramic and ideal for feature walls – perhaps around vanity areas – the Garden Décor Green Tile has a softer tone than the Mykonos Mosaic Sheet and is a good choice if you prefer more muted colours while retaining that green aesthetic. The mix of white and green tones also creates a nice contrast and means that these tiles are quite easy to integrate into various bathroom designs.

Lustrous gold for a winter sunshine effect

Our final winter-inspired tile is the Penny Stoneglass Gold Mosaic Sheet, which will bring the warming tones of the sun into your bathroom. The gold body colour of these tiles, which are circular in shape, will add a luxury gilded look to your space and is another great choice for feature areas.

Indeed, if you want to add visual interest and a pop of colour without being too intense, then these are ideal – and they’ll also complement a variety of décor. Made from robust glass these tiles have a rich, elegant look and are very hard-wearing, so will last you for years to come.
