Blue floor tiles

Blue floor tiles can significantly impact the overall aesthetic of a bathroom. Paired with white grout, they create a crisp and clean look, while contrasting grout colours like grey or black can make a bold statement. Dark blue tiles, in particular, contribute to a sense of serenity and sophistication when complemented by white furnishings and accessories.

Regular maintenance and cleaning will keep your blue floor tiles looking pristine. A mixture of mild detergent and water is sufficient for cleaning, while a pH-neutral cleaner like dish soap can also be used.

For installation, ensure the thin-set has hardened before setting the tiles and applying grout.

Blue tile applications in different bathroom styles

This tile colour can subtly integrate into various bathroom styles, imparting an air of elegance and tranquility. From cloakrooms and wet rooms to shower areas, blue tiles can be used creatively to establish a cohesive and stylish look.

Creative methods like contrasting patterns and colours can enhance the ambiance in a cloakroom, while wet rooms can benefit from the serene and calming atmosphere established by blue tiles. In shower areas, playful patterns and striking colours can add visual allure and make a strong impression.

Cloakrooms

Small cloakroom spaces can benefit greatly from the use of blue tiles. The versatility of blue tiles in design allows for the creation of a new interior style, a contrasting motif, or a unified appearance through coordinated floor and wall tiles.

Bold flooring, pops of colour, or contrasting patterns can enhance the visual appeal of cloakrooms. Whether it’s a modern design featuring blue and white patterned tiles or a classic white subway tile adorned with contrasting patterns and colours, your cloakroom can be transformed into a stylish and functional space.

Wet rooms & shower areas

A wet room can be transformed with blue colour bathroom tiles. It's all about creating an invigorating space with a sense of calm, so you'll love spending time there. Using blue in a variety of shapes from metro to mosaic are a brilliant way in which to add style to your ensuite.

Different shades can also add to the ambience and create a more relaxing environment - light blue, for example, is said to reduce blood pressure and can slow down your heart rate.

If you're looking for bathroom floor tiles or wall tiles in blue for a shower area, the same principles as above apply. Vitrified ceramic is designed to be more impervious to water and glazed porcelain tiles are ultra durable and highly water resistant, too.

Complementary colours for blue bathrooms

Once you've chosen blue for your leading colour in your bathing sanctuary, why not team it with complementary colours? White is an easy choice if you're looking for a fresh finish and the follow will also add aesthetic appeal: green, blush, taupe, olive and grey. Yellow can also work well if you want to make a strong contrast against blue and it's a warm, inviting shade.

Choosing the right shade

Choosing the right blue for your bathroom can achieve the ambiance you want and enhance the overall design. Lighter shades of blue, such as pastel or sky blue, make a smaller bathroom feel more spacious or larger than it actually is.

Also, natural light distorts the appearance of blue shades; it makes them brighter than they would have been if exposed to artificial light.

Another important factor is personal preference, whether this comes down to the finish you choose - matt, satin or gloss (highly polished) - or perhaps the pattern.

Blue tile sizes and suitability

If you choose the colour blue for your preferred tile, you'll find these can a suit a variety of room sizes from large family bathrooms through to compact cloakrooms. The key is to choose differently sized tiles to suit the room size - small, medium, large or extra large.

If you pick large or extra-large format tiles, for example, these can create an illusion of space and reduce grout lines so you can clean them more easily.

The most apparent advantage when using tiles, is their durability and resistance to moisture, and wear and tear. So they are ideal, in particular, for bathrooms and kitchens.

Water resistance makes tiles even more suitable for bathrooms, since water leakage is prevented and they can prevent mould from forming in such a wet , humid environment. You simply need to clean them on a regular basis and they will stand the test of time.

Choosing the right shade of blue, the suitable tile size, and complementary colours can enhance your bathroom’s overall look, making it a space of relaxation, tranquility, and rejuvenation. With their durability and water resistance, blue tiles are a practical yet stylish choice for any bathroom, offering a timeless appeal that can last for years to come.
