Trend Alert: Bathrooms are bolder and better in blue
Blue is a calming colour and the perfect tone to bring into your modern bathroom. This colour is trending around the world in terms of interior design and we couldn’t be happier. Bring blue into your bathroom with the use of stylish mosaic tiles for added elegance, patterns and luxurious textures. Here are some of Marcia’s top picks when it comes to blue bathroom inspiration.
The mosaic tile can be a fun backdrop around a bath, shower or basin. You can also use it as a stylish border of aqua to add cheer to an alcove or a sleek sink. Strong blue tones can help to ground a shower area or create a stunning feature wall. Need mosaic inspiration? Shop the look with Douglas Jones Mosaics.
Soothing Blue.
Maximise the colour in your bathroom and create a quiet and tranquil place to soak away your woes. Blue is far from a passing fad. Let this trending hue help you create a contemporary environment with a touch of the unexpected. We particularly love this bold shower with feature wall in blissful blue, amid a neutral bathroom space. 
Darker romantic blue tones.
Royal and navy blue tones are fantastic, paired with whites, natural stone and raw wood finishes, as evident in these stunning bathrooms (see images below). The patterns are magical and the tiles are used as artwork to add character, texture and modern appeal in the bathroom. 
Ocean inspiration.
How impressive are these fish-scale tiles used as a fun backsplash in the bathroom! We love the playfulness created in this space, perfectly paired with a ‘port-hole’ styled bathroom mirror to further hint at the ocean and bring the calm of the ocean into your home. The bathroom on the right is another example of a fun play with mosaics – where intricate patterns and texture combine to create a magnificent feature wall in the shower. 
The sky is the limit.
Walls of sky blue glass subway tiles give off the reflective qualities of water in this simple bathroom. Use a contrasting floor to showcase the blue walls in all its glory!
