KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLOUR

Step away from the stark whites and give

those sea-foam blues a break in your bathroom

spaces, as we explore the latest and greatest

colour trends for this all-important room with

Bassetts.

Mod monochrome

Monochrome doesn’t have to be just black

and white. The latest take on monochrome is

a contemporary update using clever colour

blocking. It’s all about picking one striking

colour and carrying this throughout the space

• on the walls, through towels and bathroom
  accessories. We suggest a jewel-toned emerald
  green throughout the bathroom with gold or
  brass fixtures for a regal finish.

Complementary colours

It’s time to whip out the colour wheel

because this top trend involves the use of

complementary colours to add depth and

interest. Think dark, rich blues with mustard

yellow for a striking contrast or shades of pastel

pink and mint for a softer take on the trend.

The tiles have it

One of the easiest ways to bring a splash of

colour to your bathroom is by introducing a

funky, patterned or coloured tile. Bassetts carry

a range of bathroom and floor tiles in every

size, colour and finish imaginable. We love

hexagonal or subway tiles as a feature wall used

behind the shower, two-toned ‘ombre’ tiles for a

pop of colour, or classic marble tiles which work

on every surface in the bathroom.

Bold baths

One of our favourite new bathroom trends is

the introduction of coloured tubs. Be it shiny

copper, millennial pink or a matt vampy shade,

the unexpected element of colour brings so

much character to the often-stark baths we’re

all used to. Why not match your tub to your

walls for a monochromatic feel and tick off two

trends in one?

Fix those fixtures

Last-but-not-least, don’t neglect those fixtures!

Gone are the days when chrome taps were

our only option. We’ve seen everything from

brushed gold, to matt black and bubble-gum

pink bathroom fixtures adding some serious

style points to even the smallest bathroom

spaces. The colour combinations are endless if

you’re feeling adventurous!
