Blue tiles suit bathrooms and kitchens looking for a fresh, coastal-inspired feel, from soft duck-egg tones to deeper navy shades. They work particularly well as a wall tile paired with white sanitaryware or cabinetry.

Buying guide

• Lighter blues suit smaller bathrooms, keeping the space feeling airy.
• Deeper navy tones work well as a lower-half wall tile or floor, paired with white walls above.

FAQ
Is blue tile only for bathrooms? It's most popular there, but a muted blue also works well as a kitchen splashback or utility room floor.
Does blue tile clash with warm-toned fittings? Cooler blues pair best with chrome or matt black fittings rather than warm brass.
