From decorative tiles to maximalist wallpaper, our latest lookbook explores bathrooms where striking patterned surfaces are paired with bold colours to make a statement.
Offering an alternative to the trend for minimalist or colour-blocked bathrooms, this approach uses a mix of different tones and motifs to create a multi-layered aesthetic.
Patterned surfaces can be created with wallpapers, ceramic tiles, marble or paint effects.
Block colours, in either matching or contrasting hues, are then used to offer a visual counterpoint.
The most eye-catching examples have the feel of a boutique hotel, with colour and pattern across almost every surface. But the effect can also be applied with restraint to suit a more pared-back home setting. We've rounded up eight examples, from a hotel bathroom with marble-effect walls to a family washroom featuring two different applications of mosaic tiles.
This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen's archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring minimalist kitchens and converted-barn interiors.
