Red ceramic tiles for bathroom: design for bright personalities

Often for the design of the bathroom choose dim and light colors. Such a trend is very common, because often in this room you want to relax, rest, gain strength. But among the proposals of designers appear and bold experiments, one of which can be called a bright red color. The red bathroom is invigorating, uplifting, looks unusual and fashionable.

Red tiles appeal to bold and decisive personalities. This finishing material fills with vivacity in the morning, but at the same time also increases blood pressure. Red is also associated with sexual arousal and eroticism, so a red bathroom can make a couple's relationship more passionate.

Psychologists suggest that red tiles are interested in people who love spontaneity, strong-willed and self-confident. Material of this color likes extroverted, impulsive, sociable and emotional people. Even with localized red ceramic finishes, the bathroom can add luxury and glamour. The use of red in the decoration allows you to experiment by changing the textures, color combinations and accessories used.

Facing with red tiles can be done over the entire surface of the floor or wall, but more often this material is used locally or to finish a certain area (for example, part of the wall above the sink or the corner where the bathtub is installed). A great idea for decorating will be the use of tiles of different shades, performing stripes, ornaments or borders. Also in demand are tiles with a pattern, either the same color as it, or a contrasting shade (yellow, white or black). A spectacular combination is a matte red background and an intricate red glossy pattern.

The current trend of imitating a variety of natural textures with ceramics allows you to finish your bathroom with red tiles that look like fabric, leather or other textured surfaces. Red grout is most often added to brightly colored monochrome tiles.

But using grout in a contrasting shade is also a good choice.

You can make a bathroom in the Scottish style: such tiles "under the national Scottish fabric" will create an unusual interior.

Looks very stylish. Often use the contrast of glossy and matte surface, which creates the effect of "shimmering" bathroom.

A similar effect can be achieved by using red and light mosaic.

The mosaic can be of different shapes. Unusually look mosaic with round elements.

The background can be anything. But, as a rule, it is light: white or beige, gold.

It is also possible to combine red mosaic and tile. They will complement each other, look original: again there is a "contrasting play of sizes.

Selecting companions to red tiles is a simple task, because tile manufacturers produce a rich palette of shades of red, which allows you to find the desired combination - unobtrusive or contrasting.

Red ceramics can have cool shades, such as lingonberry, burgundy, crimson, cranberry, fuchsia.

Muted red tones that approach brown are bronze, dark cherry and terracotta.

Нhe most luxurious look is given by pure tones - purple, ruby, garnet, and scarlet.

A classic complement to the red are white and black. Often there are extravagant combinations with bright colors: green, blue and yellow.

The red pattern on the surface of the base color looks spectacular. As a result, we get stylish "dosed" accents, which are applicable in the design of a small bathroom.

Do not forget about the "red-white-black" combination: these colors mutually complement each other and make the interior original.

Combinations with other colors of the red-yellow palette are also applicable. In combination with white you can create an original and memorable design.

A juicy red shade can also perfectly complement any calm color, such as gray or beige.

The interior in red tones will look more effective for a large bathroom. If your bathroom has almost no room to turn around, red tiles will "press" on you, making the space even more limited. You will always want to get out of such a bathroom as soon as possible.

Tiles in red shades are offered by all manufacturers, because it is a fashionable and current color. However, some factories (for example, Italian manufacturers Cerdisa, FAP, Atlas Concorde) produce entire collections in red. Such tiles are provided with different inserts and designs. Collections are very diverse, so Italian red tiles can be chosen for any interior.

Let's also note the Spanish ceramics, distinguished by their original geometric shapes, ornaments and designs. For example, the factory Pamesa produces tiles with a small pattern, which makes it similar to a mosaic, giving the bathroom an unusual stylish look.

If you call domestic manufacturers, a diverse and high-quality ceramics is offered by the factory Kerama Marazzi. The collection of this manufacturer with the name "Sakura" is a red tile decorated with an elegant pattern. The collection contains products of various kinds (including decorative details), allowing you to decorate the floor and walls.

The combination of red + white is very successful. The bathroom in such a finish looks attractive and unusual. Such finishing is often chosen by creative and young people seeking to add more colors to everyday life. This color scheme invigorates in the morning, increases vitality, gives energy and cheerfulness.

The main design options in red and white are as follows:

• Red is the main color, and white complements it, while making it more saturated and bright. Finishing the room is carried out in red tones, and plumbing fixtures, furniture and accessories are chosen white;
• The interior is white, and the furniture and accessories are red. This approach helps to make the bathroom cozier, more romantic and elegant. Red hues in this design option can be the boldest. Combined with a white base, their look will be very advantageous. Options for adding red to a white interior are vertical and horizontal stripes, highlighting a mirror in red, decorating one wall or bath with red tiles (borders), a red rug, and red towels;
• The interior is white and the bathroom fixtures are red. This is a rarer option, as red acrylic bathtub and sink and toilet in red are harder to find than white plumbing fixtures.

You can add black to this tandem - it will make the interior even more contrasting and stylish.

This combination makes the interior more elegant and solid. In a large bathroom, this combination is very harmonious and refined, but is often complemented by another color (white or gray). Note that for such an interior in the bathroom, it is better to install several lights.

Before you get busy creating a red bathroom, you need to determine the style of the future design. Red can be used for different styles, so choose one of them at will.

Thinking about a red bathroom, immediately think of the Chinese style. In this style, warm shades are popular and red among them especially stands out. Such a bathroom looks casual, simple and quite bright.

Also red color is well suited for the classic style. Very popular in the design of the room bathroom English style. He likes those who appreciate elegance and restraint. For this style pick up a classic bath with original legs, copper accessories and interior objects made of wood. Appropriate addition will be a red curtain or a carpet.

In addition to the classic and Chinese style, red will be appropriate for bathrooms in European, retro, high-tech, Japanese style, modern and many others.

To get both functional and stylish bathroom, you should first create a project for the transformation of the room. In creating such a project, it is important to take measurements carefully and transfer them to the plan.

If the leading color will be red, the other shades that will complement it, do not choose too flashy, so as not to create a strong contrast. Recall that designers recommend red finishes for large bathrooms. In a small room, it is preferable only to introduce red accents, so that the design does not "press", but adds to the atmosphere of vivacity. An example of such an accent would be a red border around the mirror with an overall light finish to the room.
