Five phenomenal wallpaper/tile combos

Bathrooms are the best place to experiment with colour, pattern, and wacky design. Choices that would overpower a living space you spend a lot of time in can instead become a fun surprise for a fleeting trip to the toilet, adding joy to your everyday and a space to let your creativity run free. For a bit of inspo, here are some fabulous wallpaper/tile combos and what you need to get the look.

1) Abstract Impression

This bathroom offers balance. With half the walls decorated in an unusual pattern of wiggly lines and sharp shapes and the other in artisanal style tiles the best of both is highlighted and complemented. The pared back tones of the wallpaper and the varying pale pink shades of the splashback create homogeneity whilst the irregular, handmade look of the tiles contrast against the sleeker graphics. Get the look with Manacor in Blush Pink from Equipe and Dune from Mind the Gap.

2) Grand Fantasy

Delightfully intense shades of coral, teal, and pink create a dynamic colour blocking look in this decorative bathroom. The wild, fantastical imagery of mythical beasts adds instant intrigue whilst the textured teal tiles bring out the colourful accents of the wallpaper. Get the look with Hanoi Sky Blue from Equipe and Phantasia Orange from House of Hackney.

3) Citrus Twist

Elegant but full of charm, this vibrant lemony wallpaper creates an instant sunshine vibe whilst the neutral, traditional tiles ground the space and allow the decorative wall to shine. Get the look with Cement Cross from Clé Tile and Arance from Cole & Son.

4) Swiggles and Stripes

Twofold whimsy reigns in this bathroom with swirly pink wallpaper and zellige tiles in a wonderful green and white stripe. Get the look with Fellini Pianta and Fellini Crema tiles from Claybrook Studio and Sarah Wallpaper Rose from Imogen Heath.

5) Flowers and Rose

The bold floral wallpaper of this bathroom offers a playground of colours and organic shapes. Reducing the visual noise, a simple rose subway adds calming colour without removing from the wallpaper’s attitude. Get the look with Desert Bloom from Zia Tile and Hollyhocks from House of Hackney.
