Colour Know-how: Choosing the Perfect Topps Tiles Tile to Match Your Dulux Kitchen and Bathroom Colour Schemes

Designing your new kitchen or bathroom is a really fun and exciting project to take on. They’re often the two rooms in a house where both tile and paint choices need to be considered and work together to create the look and feel you’re envisioning.

And beyond your paint and tiles, you’ll want to keep in mind the colours and textures of your kitchen units or your bathroom’s fixtures too.

Whether you choose your paint colour or your tiles first, a top tip from us is to go shopping with a sample or tester. Remember, colours can look very different under different lighting and against other surfaces. Experimenting with paint colour and tile combinations in your home can help you make the right choice.

When it comes to choosing your colour scheme, a good place to start is by determining the overall atmosphere you’re trying to create. Light, airy, and refreshing? Dark, moody, and atmospheric? Bright and bold? Or soft and relaxing?

Read on for a little inspiration to help you choose kitchen colour schemes or bathroom colour schemes, as we bring together beautiful Dulux paint colours and stunning tiles from Topps Tiles.

Into the deep…

Don’t be fooled into thinking that using dark colours will make your space feel small. Matching dark bathroom tile colours with dark paint can actually make your room feel bigger. If sophistication is your aim, then a darker hue can work well with white fixtures. Here, we’ve paired the Syren Midnight Blue wall tile from Topps Tiles with the luxurious Sapphire Salute paint colour to create a relaxing cocoon that you can sink into at the end of the day.

A chic contrast

A contrasting light and dark kitchen colour scheme is super chic. The boldness of the stunning Pellier Coal floor tile from Topps Tiles is offset perfectly with light but warming paint colours in White Chiffon and Barley White. Sometimes, simple kitchen colour schemes are the ones which will truly stand the test of time.

Experiment with colour

Don’t be afraid to use bold and bright colours for a bathroom or kitchen to give it the wow factor. Pink tiles might not be the obvious choice, but just so you know, pink is set to be a big trend for 2022. If you’re brave enough to go bold with your bathroom tile colours (and we think you should!) pair with a muted paint colour to make sure your tile remains the focus. Brought together here are Topps Tiles’ Minton Hollins Rustic Raspberry design with Dulux’s Soft Peach paint colour to create the feel of understated glamour.

A breath of fresh air

If you want to create a bathroom colour scheme that’s really relaxing, make soft blues and greens your go-to. Not only are they very calming colours, but shades inspired by nature are set to be a big trend for 2022. Here you can see Topps Tiles’ Tile of the Year 2022, Flute, in Dulux’s Colour of the Year for 2022, Bright Skies^TM. Together with a previous colour of the year, Tranquil Dawn, on the wall and ceiling, it’s created a bathroom colour scheme that is uplifting – the perfect way to start your day.

Beautifully simple works too

While we’ve been encouraging you to be more daring with your tile colours, there are times when the simplest choice is the best. For example, if you’re using statement colours elsewhere in your kitchen, a neutral tile can balance out your bright or bold shade. Here, Topps Tiles’ Diamante White design is simple yet striking, allowing the Bright Skies™ cupboard shade to pop.

Warm up cold surfaces

Sometimes bathroom tiles can feel a little cold, and that can’t be helped. But what you can do is be clever with your paint colour choices to create the feeling of warmth. Denim Drift complements Topps Tiles’ luxurious Bellingham tiles perfectly in terms of a beautifully matched bathroom colour scheme. Plus, the depth of the colour adds warmth to the walls, balancing out the cooler feel across the bottom half of the room.
