With the vast array of different bath taps, bathroom accessories and showers on the market there will be a wide range of ways you can find a design and colour scheme for your new bathroom. However, there are certain themes that come up regularly and are good guidelines to follow for any modern bathroom.

Of course, what tiles you choose or what colour you paint the walls will have a big effect on how your bathroom will look, but again this must match your bathroom furniture. Simple and neutral colours tend to complement more sleek and contemporary styles better than others; for instance a black or cream background with white ceramic bathroom furniture.

However, another major factor when it comes to the designing of a bathroom is what basin taps and bath taps you decide to use. Brass-finish taps will never look good in a modern, minimalistic bathroom that has, for example, red or blue tiles with stylish fittings. Chrome is by far the most adaptable finish when it comes to complementing the bathroom furniture and other components, and is therefore the most widely used.

If you are designing your bathroom from scratch, it is important that you know which colours will work together and, perhaps more importantly, which won’t. It is highly recommended to make a trip to your local bathroom showroom and see what colour combinations they have chosen. It can also sometimes be better to choose your bathroom furniture and accessories first, and then match them up with the tiles.
