Chonda selection
Blue wide palette. Despite the seeming coldness of the shade, there are warm options. True, it is difficult to call them purely blue, they are closer to turquoise.
The choice of shade in the design of a blue bath does not obey the general interior rules. For a living room or bedroom, the tone is selected depending on the level of illumination: in the southern rooms - cold, in the north - warm. In the city bathroom, the window is rarely found, usually such a layout is assumed in private houses. Therefore, it is not necessary to rely on natural light, here it is simply not. You can adjust the light yourself, just replacing the lamp.
The fashion is stronger on the shade. In modern trends - complex tones. It is a gray-blue, accumulated dirty clay tone, mixed with yellowish or purple - in general, the shade is not clean, not obvious.
Such decisions do not like everyone. And many prefer more cheerful shades. In this case, it is better to pay attention to the style of design and selection of materials. Often designers are experimenting with retro style and a combination of bright colors.
Bathroom materials and trim in blue colors
Tile - typical material for bathroom. But uniform finish with one type of tile today is already outdated. In order for the interior to look modern, try to pick up a minimum of two types: for the floor it will suit the porcelain stoneware, and for the walls - wall tiles.
Do not be afraid of prints. On the photo the design of a blue bathroom with a similar finish looks very beautiful! It can be a beautiful handmade ceramic tile with geometric or floristic patterns. Let it resemble Gzhel or Portuguese azulju - in modern reading folklore motifs look spectacular.
You should not be limited only to tiles. One of the most relevant combinations is a tile and paint. For this, moisture-resistant materials that are not scary splashes are selected. The paint can also be used to finish the accent wall, if you decide to select some zone.
More bold and not the most trivial material - wallpaper. Designer options with prints, patterns and even paintings can become a real highlight room. This finish is suitable only in spacious bathroom. Even moisture-resistant materials cannot be used in wet areas near the bath, soul or toilet. The perfect place is at the entrance to the room, as a last resort - near the sink.
Textures and combinations
There are several variants of the blue gamut in the bathroom. The most obvious and win-win - with white. If you want to achieve the effect of cleanliness and freshness, boldly use it in combination with light blue. Moreover, both colors can be acting both as a base and as a supplement. Accordingly, the ratio will be approximately following: 60% of the base and 30% additional. The remaining 10% comes accents - it can be both other colors and textures. Light gray shades and beige protrude as analogs.
More complex palettes are monochrome. They use the entire gamma within the same color beam, in our case - blue. Make a harmonious interior in this form not easy. And, if you are not ready to risk, it is better to dilute the tone with neutral beige, white or gray.
Varinty with dark tones are rarely found. Light blue in itself - the color is unsaturated. According to a combination of tones in brightness, it looks harmonious, it looks with seamy paints. If you attract the idea of a dark bathroom, pay attention to the brighter, juicy paints of blue.
Metal
Metal is the most popular as an accent. Here are two options: more warm - brass and cold - nickel. The first looks great in modern and neoclassical style. It makes the registration of warmer, gives it softness. While nickel-plated plumbing emphasizes the coldness of the interior, its freshness.
Wood
Another texture that will soften the design of a blue bathroom with the addition of white. You can take both dark and light breeds. If you like marine style, the tree will help embody it.
This also includes rattans - no less relevant material. Baskets, flower pots, linen bags - such accessories will bring some tropical stylistics.
A rock
Porcelain stoneware with marble effect - already a classic in design. It is especially good in natural colors: white, gray and black. The first two are perfectly combined with light blue tones.
Color deployment options
There are three classic ways to introduce color in the interior. Casually we have already mentioned. Consider each other.Base
If you want a real light blue bathroom, then bright decoration is your option. In this case, we often select tiles on the walls and the floor in the appropriate gamma. You can also use accents, for example, to make a blue mosaic in the bathroom.
It is worthwhile to avoid the temptation to color the ceiling. Only professionals work with this admission, otherwise there is a risk of getting a low room with the effect of grinding.
Addition
This is the safest solution. You can add paint on the wall or floor, not necessarily a lot - about a third of the entire volume of the room will be enough. It can be an emphasis wall, furniture, plumbing, different little things like a towel. Very spectacular in this design it looks like a pair of finishing-furniture.
It is desirable at the same time still not "smearing" the color of the interior, but to make one or two large stains with additions.
Accents
For those who do not want to risk, you can enter the paint gradually. The resulting room can hardly be called light blue, but in this way you can understand whether this color is suitable for you. Decor, textiles or just plumbing: Bowl of bath, sinks, sink cabinet - they can create the most accent stains.
