5 Trendy Wash Basin Colour Designs with Perfect Tile Combinations

In This Article

When it comes to designing a bathroom, people tend to focus primarily on designing their bathroom’s walls and floors. In this process, they unknowingly overlook one of the most crucial and regularly used elements in this space – the wash basin. 

Since it’s a noticeable feature, homeowners should make a conscious effort to enhance its visual appeal. Thankfully, you can achieve it by simply choosing the right wash basin colour design. Whether you prefer soft elegance or bold drama, earthy comfort or timeless luxury, there’s a style that can reflect your taste while enhancing the bathroom space. 

In this blog, we’re sharing trendy wash basin design colour options, each paired with thoughtfully picked tile combinations so you can effortlessly transform your bathroom into a style sanctuary. So, let’s explore the designs shared below. 

1. Pastel-Coloured Basins with Neutral Tiles

Pastel basins can effortlessly bring a refreshing charm into your bathroom. A charm that feels light, playful, and modern. You can choose any pastel shades for the basin, such as mint green, powder blue, or blush pink. 

Pastels are ideal for anyone wanting to add personality without overwhelming the space. You can pair pastel basins with neutral tiles, such as beige, off-white, or light grey, because the softness of both elements creates a visual harmony. 

While there are numerous styling possibilities, you can consider pairing a blush pink basin with cream matte wall tiles. This pairing will make your bathroom feel more airy and welcoming, making it perfect for smaller spaces. 

2. Earthy Tones with Wooden and Stone Tiles

This option is ideal for you if you’re a nature lover who wants to incorporate nature-inspired elements into your bathroom. Consider investing in earthy-toned basins, such as terracotta, sand, or olive, as they offer warmth and a natural sense of grounding. 

Unlike deep-coloured wash basin designs, earthy-toned basins create a spa-like atmosphere, especially when paired with tiles that mimic wood or stone. If you’re looking for a timeless pairing, we recommend installing an olive green basin against wooden textured tiles, such as our double herringbone oak wood tile, for a classy design. Earthy designs like this are great for individuals who want timeless comfort.  

3. Dark-Coloured Basins with Light Shaded Tiles

Bold contrasts like these are an easy way to create statement spaces. If you want to create an entirely distinct design that conveys your bold styling preferences, then invest in basins featuring dark shades like navy, charcoal, or even black. 

Pair them against backdrops with light-coloured tiles, such as white, ivory, or pale marble. This combination exudes sophistication while maintaining a visually striking appearance. Consider installing a black wash basin and pair it with white marble tiles for a sleek and glamorous look.  

4. Monochrome Basins with Layered Grey or White Tiles

Not everyone likes playful contrasts in their space. If this sounds like you, choosing monochrome designs can bring balance and sophistication without the intensity of bold contrasts. Having a white or grey basin paired with layered grey or white tiles creates a uniform look that feels calm, minimal, and timeless. 

This design works particularly well in modern apartments, where sleek, clean lines and simplicity are highly valued. A great example is pairing a white basin with grey tiles so the space looks spacious and uncluttered. 

The appeal lies in its subtlety as it doesn’t demand attention but still exudes elegance. However, if minimalism isn’t your preference and you don’t like overly vibrant shades, then choose a wash basin in pink colour and pair it with blush pink or textured pink tiles.

5. Colour-Pop Basins with Patterned Accent Tiles

Sometimes, the missing piece of the puzzle in your bathroom’s design is a colourful wash basin. If your bathroom looks dull, consider a wash basin featuring vibrant shades, such as sunshine yellow, aqua, or coral. 

Pair these coloured wash basin designs with patterned or geometric tiles. This combination can bring personality and liveliness to your bathroom. If you’re confused about choices, choose a bright yellow wash basin and pair it with Moroccan aqua tiles as a backsplash. It will instantly make your bathroom feel modern, fun, and unforgettable.

To achieve the best visual result, ensure that the remaining space is kept neutral. If you’re seeking a luxurious look, consider exploring marble-based combinations with vibrant basins.
