Interior fashion trends change every year, bringing more and more unexpected looks to the bathtub. Interior compositions with pistachio, ultramarine, powdery, ocher, ultramarine, and emerald dominants are temporarily popular. Despite all sorts of attempts to change the color leader, the choice of a bathtub in brown tones has remained unchanged for many centuries. The color of wood has long been successfully tested for practicality, the ability to create a harmonious and cozy environment in a room for any purpose.
Shades of plumbing
You need to select all the plumbing fixtures of the same color for a brown bathroom. It is recommended to choose a solid color option. Although you can install a set with a combination of several shades.
Plumbing fixtures can be white, pastel colors, or all warm light shades. White is considered a classic.
Undesirable combinations
Mixing styles in the interior is very problematic (it must be done very carefully). A bathroom decorated haphazardly and with inappropriate furniture looks tasteless.
Since brown itself is a fairly warm color, it does not like combinations with yellow or red in decoration. It should also be taken into account that without windows and good lighting the room will look gloomy, so it is optimal to dilute brown with a cooler color (white or light beige).
Floor finishing material
The room appears taller if the tiles on the wall are a shade lighter than the brown floor in the bathroom. Floor tiles decorate the room. Color adds style to a room.
Of course, you need to take good care of it. The floor laid out in a checkerboard pattern looks impressive (brown and white). You can combine ceramics according to texture and shades of the main color.
We decorate the ceiling and walls
When manipulating the walls, pay attention to the choice of color of the mixture for the seams between the tiles. A darker color than the tile will have a visual volume effect and highlight each fragment of the mosaic. A light mixture will emphasize the cleanliness of the bathroom, adding pedantry and coldness to it. For small bathrooms in Khrushchev-era buildings “one meter by two”, minimalist plain walls are more suitable. Owners of a huge restroom have the opportunity to install decorative columns. This will add splendor to the room and create the impression of quality and reliability. Cover the lower part of the walls with dark tiles and the upper part with light tiles. This way you will create a clear contrast, necessary for the freshness of the room and associated with the horizon line. The ceiling should be lighter than the walls in order to lengthen them and optically elongate the room vertically.
Stretch ceilings are the best option for a bathroom due to their technical and external characteristics.
Choosing tiles for the bathroom
Brown tiles are available in 3 types:
- simple;
- with a stone pattern;
- with a wood pattern.
Simple tiles look in tandem with imitation tiles. This combination of tiles gives a particularly impressive look. Stone-effect tiles bring a feeling of breeze into the room.
Imitation wood, on the contrary, makes the interior of a brown bathroom warmer and more comfortable. It can be used with any style.
Rules for combining brown with other colors in the interior.
In order for the design to be as attractive and harmonious as possible, it is extremely important to choose the right colors. In addition, if you adhere to the selection rules, you will be able to eliminate the typical drawback of this room: its small area. It is worth saying that brown color in the interior in any combination allows you to visually increase the area and height, which also contributed to the popularization of this tone specifically for the bathroom.
The combination of brown and white creates a truly attractive contrast that will appeal to both the classic lover and the original. The fact is that a combination of similar tones will give your bath a festive atmosphere thanks to an interesting and elegant combination.
Any shade of brown combined with beige creates a truly harmonious composition that will turn a banal bath into a place for relaxation. This combination makes the room warm and cozy, so being in it will be a real pleasure.
An unusually pleasant combination is the dark brown color combined with the colors of coffee with milk. This combination has calming properties, gives harmony and pleasant emotions just from being in the bathroom.
The combination of brown and peach colors is also interesting. It is distinguished by its naturalness and warmth, which captivates many lovers of original bathroom interiors.
There are other combination options using dark and light tones of brown. After all, this shade combines very harmoniously with many natural colors, which gives you a lot of space for creative search.
Furniture selection
A classic combination is usually called the combination of the main color and white.
A photo of white furniture in a brown bathroom is proof of this. The opposite tandem (white walls, brown furniture) also looks original. A beautiful combination of walls and floors in brown with furniture in beige.
Ceramics, with a wood pattern, seem to allow the use of wooden furniture in the same tone. Designers advise not to stop at standard color duets.
Brown is universal and you can try different combinations. Treat yourself to an unusual design and surprise your friends. High-tech furniture goes better with stone-effect tiles. Let glass, metal and mirrors dominate the interior.

Furniture and accessories for bathroom design in brown tone
Properly selected furniture and accessories are the key to harmony in the interior. It often happens that the walls, floors and ceiling are one harmonious whole, but installing furniture that is incorrectly selected according to the color scheme can destroy the idyll. In this regard, it is advisable to use the main rule in design - do not overload the space.
Use dark furniture colors with light finishes and vice versa. You cannot use more than 3 shades, because otherwise it becomes difficult for the eye to perceive the proposed range.
For a shower stall, it is best to take glass, which does not overload the space and helps create a feeling of airiness.
Corner baths are popular now, and if the bathroom space allows, then you can choose from bowls made of various materials and shapes.
Photo with example:
In a combined bathroom, the toilet can be separated into a separate area. This is done using lighting, color or using partitions. A good solution could be to design a separate bathroom in contrasting colors. For example, using the original combination of beige and chocolate tones, design a bathroom with a predominance of chocolate, and a toilet, since it is smaller in area, with a predominance of beige tone. Typically, ceramics are white, but if desired, you can install a colored washbasin or toilet.

Mixers and other small elements also have their own role to play. As a rule, they are always chrome plated. But if the bathroom is made in warm colors, then the handles and hooks can be made in a bronze or gold tone.
