For the bathroom is better to use pure shades of white, without impurities.Only in some details you can move a few tones in the direction of beige, pink, sand. Designers do not recommend to make the former all surfaces of the room. Enough only the largest. For example, white may be the ceiling, plumbing and furniture. It is better to make the floor light gray or choose any other shade you like.
It is proved that the abundance of white bears a depressed state. Therefore, to get involved in this color is not worth it. Moreover, it is easily combined with other colors.
Also, to maintain the feeling of freshness, shades of blue and green are suitable. To do this, they must be as cold as possible. They can be combined with white, but in this case the colored surfaces should dominate. It looks interesting floor blue or blue. It symbolizes the element of water in this room.

What should be the tile for the bathroom
For many years tile has remained the most popular facing material for a bathroom. The variety of textures and shades, coupled with the practicality of the material makes it indispensable. That is why manufacturers pay great attention to the variety of colors of their products.
It is very convenient to create the effect of water using tiles. Blue, blue and greenish tiles are perfect for both the design of the walls of the room, and as a floor covering. The smooth, textured or translucent upper part of each of the tiles allows for the play of light, similar to the play of the sun's rays on the water surface.
The effect can be supplemented with several translucent glass blocks inserted between tiles in a specific order. Previously, of such units created dividing screens in public places. Now glass cubes are decorated with quite modern interiors, giving the atmosphere a fresh, original touch.
Regardless of the color, the tile for the bath should be as porous as possible.

With the help of geometric shapes and contrasts, you can emphasize the height of the ceiling and the length of the walls. For example, if the light shade of the walls smoothly turns into a white ceiling with no visible border, this will visually increase the space and fill it with air. If you really want to stick moldings, they should be white and no gilding.
Plumbing in such bathrooms should be only white. This is especially true for combined sanitary facilities. The less noticeable the furnishings, the more spacious the room seems.

If desired, you can use geometric tricks: if you lay out patterns on the floor that are directed from the middle to the corners, this will help to visually increase the floor area. For this you need to use contrasting colors, the main of which will be white or light shades of blue, green, pink, lilac.
