What colours for a small bathroom?

We are getting our tiny main bathroom redone. It has a small bath, shower over the bath, loo and sink. And a large window as you look in the bathroom. We have to tile all of it as it’s so small it needs to be wet room like for condensation and spray.
Totally stuck on colour and ideas. Will be redoing floor also. I’ve seen lots of beige, not mega keen. Also grey seems very cold. Want it to feel like a nice place to be... please help!

How about mainly white with one wall in an accent colour? You could mix up the tile shapes a bit perhaps like in this image. A light coloured floor may give illusion of space.

Ooh now that’s an idea - I felt quite restricted with the same tile and hadn’t thought about doing a wall differently. Hmm. Thanks!

Our bathroom is grey and it doesn't seem cold at all.

Greys can be cool or warm, either can look good in a bathroom I think. It can also look quite stark which is great if that is the look you are aiming for but off-putting if not. Are you wanting it to be quite light and neutral OP (you mentioned beige and grey) but concerned it may look too cold and clinical? There are lots of things you can do here to add warmth - include natural materials such as wood or baskets, a few plants plants, pictures, fake flowers faux botanicals, fluffy towels, the right lighting etc.

Have you looked on Pinterest? Can be a little overwhelming but a great source of ideas.

What style of bathroom suite are you going for?

I went for a very soft green for our small bathroom....works really well.

I quite like this type of tile for a small space, adds interest

I’ve spent ages looking at Pinterest and am getting a bit bogged down! It’s all so high spec and unlike a real bathroom. Like the idea of more interesting tiles and also leaning towards grey. I do worry it’ll feel cold though.

Sorry - yes I’d like it to be fairly neutral and not too trendy. Mainly as we won’t do it again for a long long time. I’d also like it to feel clean but without being stark.

I used dark grey in my bathroom and have a walnut floor. I wanted it dark and moody - it's definitely not cold

Going to use dark grey in our downstairs loo too eventually

Love those tiles around the mirror Oak

Choosing the designs, colors for bathroom renovation is very difficult for me. My colleague did bathroom renovation and interior painting by getting latest ideas by hiring interior painting San Jose. They provided variety of options so that he can select the best one. I checked more information about these experts and I am satisfied by their efficiency in work.
You too look for the best painting options according to your need.

Chish - there is a small part of me that wants proper slatey grey but am concerned the room will feel really oppressive!! How do you find it? Our other floors are walnut so I’d love to match that or similar if possible. I’m starting to think mixing tiles up with texture than colour would work - so similar shade on floor and walls but different texture tiles for a feature type wall maybe?

It's a north facing room with a small window and when we moved in it was cream/white and I found it cold - and we needed a light on regardless of time of day

The grey makes me feel cosy and it feels warmer

Have you found any images you like?
