Possible combinations
Plain blue surfaces can look pretty nice, but these rooms are reminiscent of laboratories. To avoid such similarities, you can use additional decorative elements, patterns. If you choose blue tiles, it is not recommended to purchase other products of the same color for the bathroom: curtains, brush holders, towels and other accessories. It is better to dilute the interior with other tones, otherwise all objects in the room will merge with the walls.

How to choose?
Wall tiles should not be chosen for the floor. The tiles on the floor must be rough and matte, otherwise the surface will be slippery. Rough surfaces are more difficult to care for, but first of all, you need to think about safety.For walls, you can choose materials that are less resistant to abrasion, such as glossy coatings. Glossy products are resistant to the effects of cosmetics and cleaning agents, and are quite easy to care for (the main thing is to do it regularly). Mosaic tiles are suitable for both floors and walls, because they are durable and cannot be slipped on.
Saturated deep shades of tiles will make the interior luxurious and unique. It should be borne in mind that this design option is only suitable for sufficiently spacious and well-lit rooms. For large and medium-sized bathrooms, you can choose a fairly large tile without patterns, with a textured or matte surface.
Recommendations for use
Tile coverings can be laid in a variety of ways.
The most popular options are:
- You can use tiles of the same size and design for floors and walls. However, this option will not work if the person prefers to use accents and avoid monotony.
- Some people prefer to zone the room using several types of tile materials. You can, for example, decorate the area near the sink and bathtub with conventional coatings, and highlight the shower room with mosaic tiles.
- A very common version of wall decoration is a "belt". The same tile coverings are laid over the entire surface (most often they are rectangular), and a contrasting tile runs horizontally (usually in the middle).
- Using classic white color, you can visually expand the space. One third of the wall should be made white, two thirds of the surface should be decorated with blue tiled coatings.
- The "brickwork" of blue and white tiles looks very interesting. Some decorate only one wall in this way, making other surfaces monochromatic. For such a design, it is better to choose glossy tiled coatings.
- To dilute the interior, you can trim one wall (behind the shower or bath) with glossy tile materials in various shades of blue. You can use products with pictures and patterns.
- If you want to visually make the walls higher, then you can lay the rectangular blue tiles vertically, and after finishing the cladding horizontally, the room will visually lengthen, while the walls will appear wider.
The bathroom should not be cluttered with furniture or decor, regardless of the size and shade of the tiles. When decorating a room with blue tiles, you need to rely on your artistic flair and take into account the recommendations of specialists - in this case, the homeowner will not be disappointed with the result.
