Are you stuck with your wall colours for a little while and are considering using bathroom Subway tiles on your wall to liven up your space? Or maybe you just want to add a splash of colour to your bathroom without wasting a ton of money. Whatever the case may be, these tips will get you started with bathroom wall colour schemes quickly and easily. Here we will look at some classic colours and how to use Subway tiles in your decorating scheme.
Classic Solid Black: Since there is only one colour allowed for Subway tiles, this is a great way to keep the look of a solid wall without having to add colour to the grout as well. The only trick is that since there is only one colour allowed for each tile, sometimes the grout can end up being uneven. So if unevenness is a problem, you can always pick up a few extra pieces of grout to use in your design. Otherwise, this is an easy one to liven up!
Solid Gold: This is one colour that ties well together, especially when it comes to bathrooms. Most people stick with a solid black and white subway tiles layout but gold works well too. You can make your bathroom designed to go well with this hue if you use an equal amount of both. Just use the same amount of white on the floor and wall as well.
One-Third Offset: This is a fantastic look that makes many people go "hmmm... where did I see that before?" Well, since subway tiles only have one colour allowed per square, you can have fun with this look and make your bathroom a one-third offset look. This works well in shabby chic and vintage style bathroom designs but can be applied to any bathroom style you wish.
Three-Sided: What do you think happens when you mix tile and cement? Well, you get a beautiful ceramic tile construction that looks amazing. If you want to break out this colour combination, simply take some Subway tiles and cut them in half...
Then, take some black paint and put it on the back of the first one-third of the tile you just cut. Then you simply apply the black paint to the other two-thirds of the subway tiles and you'll have a great looking three-sided subway tiles mural. This is a great one to use in a children's bath or even a bathroom that is mostly plain.
Horseshoe and Pearl: A herringbone pattern makes a gorgeous tile design. This look has become popular again with the use of subway tiles as a bathroom floor. To create this herringbone pattern, simply divide the tile into six equal panels, and then place the first panel at the centre of the bathroom area. There should be six to ten v-shaped panels surrounding the central panel, which will form the herringbone pattern.
