Red bathrooms aren’t the obvious choice–but that’s what makes them so great! Dare to stand out from the crowd and create a unique decor scheme that’s full of heat and mystique. We’ve all become accustomed to seeing the odd red bathroom accessories set here and there, but today we’re talking about all in, all round red bathroom designs that would laugh in the face of safe neutral schemes. Come with us on a journey through 51 inspirational red bathroom ideas, where we’ll find stand-out red vanities and red sinks, unique red bathroom decor and stunning red tiles, plus brave concepts for intertwining other punchy accent colours into red interiors.

Red and rosy. An illuminated mirror and some focussed spot lights create a rosy glow in this red minimalist bathroom, where red on red is the non negotiable theme.

Another run at a red on red theme, only this time there are clean white ceramics to disrupt the solidity.

Make a green view really pop. As red and green are on opposite sides of the colour wheel, they create high contrast when put side by side. Frame your green garden view with red interior walls, floors and ceiling.

Shiny red bathroom tiles cup the view of outdoor greenery in this one.

Red as a classic colour. Red wainscot and boiserie look the business in a bathroom. This traditional styling works best with traditional silhouettes for toilets and sinks. Complete the look with a set of elegant wall sconces, and a black and white tiled floor.

Red razzmatazz. Red carpets are rolled out at big showbiz bashes, so we associate the rich colour with a bit of glitz and glamour. Make your own showstopper with ruby red bathroom walls, a unique red accent chair, and one Hollywood-worthy chandelier in the starring role.

Roll out your own red carpet. Once you’ve created an award worthy feature, roll out a red bathroom rug to beat a path to it.

Red and black baroque. Go heavy on elaborate ornamentation and decoration to create your very own piece of baroque. Choose densely patterned tiles, candelabra wall sconces, and a boldly baroque inspired vanity mirror.

Look into the light. Solid red decor can have a darkening effect, especially in a small space, so be sure to install ample light to keep the bathroom at a comfortable level for your needs. The solid light box frame around this double sink bathroom vanity mirror is electrifying.

Alternate the wall treatment with tone and texture. This red and black bathroom uses areas of solid red and black decor interspersed with grey marbled slab. The marbled effect spills out across the floor to unite the room.

Say hi to high gloss walls. The light reflective, room expanding qualities of glossy surfaces can be taken to the extreme by covering basic walls with gorgeous gloss panels.

This remarkable marbled red wall brings organic pattern and movement.

Red and ribbed. Ribbed wall panels build a pinstripe pattern of light and shade.

Transform a red and white bathroom design from an ‘ok for now’ to a definite ‘wow’, with strong black base notes. Black swing arm wall lamps, black framed vanity mirrors, and black towel rails all fit the bill.

Use red as zoning, like this dark red tiled shower enclosure.

Decorate in palatable proportions. A very large luxury bathroom benefits from plenty of ‘air’ being put through strong colour. Get bold with one red feature wall, then use a few well placed colourful elements to accentuate the rest of the room.

Play with proportion! Decorating small areas in solid contrasting colour can distract from size limitations.

Colour a base band. Install red vanity cabinets and matching tiles at consistent height around the base of a red and white bathroom scheme, to create a solid bright band.

The colour arrangement is flipped on it head this time around, with a red band wrapping the upper half of the room scheme. Crisp black and white geometric tiles vie for attention down on the floor.

Brighten up the bathroom furniture. Bright red bathroom furniture will create a buzz in the plainest of bathrooms. Buy a brand spanking new red bathroom set, or give a face lift to pieces you already own with a coat of primer and paint.

No more drab doors. Colour coordinate the bathroom door and cabinet doors in the same red hue as the walls for a totally cohesive finish.

If you’re just looking to add a brief pop of red to your bathroom design, a modern vertical radiator or heated towel rail is a great way to bring in a sizable piece. This hot red design looks stunning next to a cool turquoise tipped table.

You could also opt for statement red bathroom faucets, which speak loud and proud on a slate backsplash.

Up the tempo with graphic bars of red, black and white to boost walls and floors.

A Mondrian inspired interior design may quench a thirst for red decor, with its primary colours and solid shapes.

Another take on the Mondrian bathroom theme.

A subtler take on cubism. This time just a few black and white blocks cross a solid red wall, but the abstract style is still distinctive.

Two types of tile, two strong colours.

Dampen down bright red bathroom walls with a grey ceiling and grey floors. Natural wood tone also helps to balance out the vibrancy.

Glam up red furniture with golden hardware. This red and gold bathroom furniture has a high contrast teal background to amplify its colour.

Make hero pieces stand out in more ways than one. The vanity unit in this white bathroom stands out not only because of its bright red colour, but because of its unique cantilevered design that cuts into the centre of the room.

In a shadowy red and black bathroom, red accents have an almost luminous effect.

Use colour to as a connective tool. Red siding on this shower unit becomes an integral part of the vanity unit, giving the bathroom layout better connection and flow.

Rain ruby red from a skylight. The natural light from velux windows or a skylight will highlight the lustre of red mosaic tiles or a textured glossy red tile.

Red as an earth tone. A muted red and brown bathroom feels laid back and natural, especially with some authentic timber elements to enhance it. Arrange indoor plants all around the bathtub to really get closer to nature. This red bathtub sits sensitively within the colour scheme, with just a white inner shell for a touch of freshness.

Same red bathtub finish, different look. This elongated red tub is staged on a white marble platform, whilst red geo pattern dances across surrounding tiles. Light grey wainscot makes a sophisticated border.

Don’t be hemmed in. You don’t have to take your red feature wall all the way to the ceiling if the height is too overpowering–this one levels out at the same height as the window on the opposite wall.

Dark red and dramatic. Dark red everything, with just a few black accents, makes a wonderfully moody setting. Light floor tiles prevent the look from becoming oppressive, despite the darkened ceiling.

Another dramatic red bathroom from the darker end of the scale, with a lighter floor to keep things airy.

Start and end your day in a work of art. Think photographic wall murals, graphic floor tiles and unique decorative mirrors.

Go geo. Geometric tiles jostle for attention behind colour contrasting mirrors in this red and green bathroom. Red geometric pendant lights hover above a red bath.

Carve out a red ensuite. This boxy red design visually separates the ensuite bathroom from the bedroom, without having an actual solid wall between the two at all.

Use strong red elements to balance out deeply patterned monochrome decor.

Another example of red vs deep pattern.

Rev up a red scheme with red bathroom accessories sets, and a unique bathroom sink.

A natural pebble floor makes a beautiful, and unexpected, accompaniment to a red bathtub.

Optical illusions. Besides the mind bending wall treatment here, a red floor tile has been employed to reflect strongly in the mirrored vanity cabinet–visually doubling the size of the room.

Create a ravishing ensemble of russet red and copper.

Another russet red decor bathroom, this time with blue contrast.

And one more.

Make plants into decor heroes by choosing planters that carry the colour of the room.

@winsome_home / Instagram

When it comes to bathrooms, we often see spaces rooted in blues, whites, and grays. Sure, these colors are classics for a reason and certainly are safe picks. But why not opt for something a bit different when designing your loo?

Bathrooms in particular are great spaces in which to experiment with color, due to their small size and the fact that they're easily concealed behind closed doors. One vibrant hue that we're absolutely loving in the bathroom lately? Red.

While unexpected, red truly makes a stylish statement, and it looks fabulous when paired with more traditional accent colors, like black, white, and gold. So grab a paintbrush, hang some red patterned wallpaper, or install a red vanity—no matter what you do, we're sure you'll love the bold effect.

If you need some further inspiration as you begin to plan out your own red bathroom, you've come to the right place. Read on to view images of 20 inspiring red bathrooms. There's something that truly appeals to every style: vintage-inspired, modern, grandmillennial...you name it.

20 Red Living Room Ideas That Will Never Go out of Style

Red bathroom - 91 photos of stunningly bright design ideas

Red bathroom is an interior for bold, extraordinary natures.

Bright, saturated color creates an unforgettable festive atmosphere, the main thing is to keep the balance so that the prevailing red does not blur and does not serve as an incentive for aggression.

It is also important that the color matches the character and atmosphere of the whole dwelling and does not serve as an external irritant for people with unstable mentality. nine0003

Red bathroom design

In recent years, monochrome has become a popular trend in bathroom design.

However, this technique is only suitable for larger than average rooms.

Using objects and materials made only in shades of red for arranging the bathroom, there is a big risk of artificial compression of space.

A bathroom in red tones such as bordeaux, beaujolais or burgundy will be especially luxurious, provided that the room has a large footage, since such colors will act depressingly in a small bathroom. nine0003

However, for small bathrooms there is an option to combine red with other colors:

Bathroom in red

Decorating a bathroom in red is quite a challenge.

The main problem is the selection of sanitary ware to match the interior, since it is much easier to buy a red shower cabin or furniture than a sink or bidet of the required range. nine0003

Quite often, red bathroom tiles are used as a bright background, which helps to create a unique atmosphere, and against which furniture will look favorably.

Various shades of red are ideal for high-tech or modern style, for Japanese or oriental touches. In rare cases, with its help they embody a retro style.

Bathroom in the style of the English countryside suggests the presence of a large number of curved details, the severity of the forms. nine0003

English styling implies the presence of red accents in the interior of the room. Curtains, rugs, lampshades, mirror frames, shelves or a linen closet are suitable for this.

Color combination

The most popular color to combine with red is white.

The bathroom in red and white visually enlarges the space, focuses the eye on the details and is a perfect mix of colors. nine0003

The combination allows you to correctly zone the room. A visual increase in the room, on the advice of designers, can be provided by alternating red and white stripes.

To highlight one of the walls, you can clad it with red ceramic tiles, and hang a mirror in a white frame against its background, or a shelf for toiletries.

Red tiles are often used as a frame to highlight a bathtub, sink or mirror. nine0003

Red and black combination. Black is the color of elegance, and in combination with red, it acquires royal luxury.

Red bathroom furniture looks especially impressive against a black background.

The red-black scale is quite popular, but it is used exclusively in rooms with a large area.

If the predominant color in the interior is black interspersed with elements of red, the room will need additional light sources. nine0003

Otherwise, the bathroom will bring a feeling of discomfort to its owners due to some gloomy interior.

Stylization

Classic. Classical style is typical for adherents of restraint and elegance of the situation.

The shape of the bathtub in this case is presented in the form of an oval font, and all sanitary filling is distinguished by an elegant antique finish.

Red accents are recommended to be indicated in the form of various accessories or in wall decoration. nine0003

The minimalist style in red matches the oriental color. It is characterized by warm, rich hues combined with elements of gold, green, yellow or indigo.

Hi-tech style is characterized by a combination of bright colors, such as red with a sheen of chromed metal or glass.

This interior is suitable for young people with an active lifestyle, because the dynamic environment encourages action. nine0003

You can see all the nuances and features of the interior in the photo of the red bathroom and choose the most suitable variant of styling and furnishing for yourself.

What nuances should be taken into account when designing a bathroom in red?

When the traditional standards for bathroom design are gone, designers began to use rich and bright colors, among which the red tone is far from the last. Due to its features, it is important to take into account a number of nuances when designing a red bathroom:







Who would like a bathroom with a predominance of red, and who should refuse such a decision

The bathroom is a special place in the home. In it, people not only carry out hygiene procedures, but also receive an emotional charge. nine0003

It is important for someone to feel calm and peaceful, and for someone - a flow of energy, leadership and a desire to move forward. Bathroom in red color is suitable in the second case. For such people, even when washing before going to bed, it is important to feel the power that red feeds. Also, a room with such a color will appeal to passionate natures and extroverts.

But even in this case, the coloring should be diluted with calmer tones so that it does not become too exciting and provoke aggression. nine0003

A bathroom in red tones is not the best solution for hyperactive people (do not confuse with extroverts), people with a pronounced choleric temperament. Also, this is not the best choice for melancholic people, as the colors can overwhelm and annoy them.

If you're the type of person who needs to be careful when designing a bathroom in red, but you're drawn to this color scheme, remember that there are a lot of trade-offs. For example, use red with moderate saturation along with white, giving preference to the latter. nine0003










The virtues of the red and its shortcomings in room

We offer to consider the main advantages and minuses of red tones in the room:
virtues of the flower flow:

The disadvantages of coloring indoors include the possibility of over saturation, which will not benefit the psychological well-being and environment. If the combination rules are violated, the red interior of the bathroom can hide space and make the room uncomfortable. nine0003










Combinations

Consider the main combinations with red when decorating a bathroom.

A red and white bathroom is one of the most winning combinations and works well with most spaces. White will dilute the intensity of red and give the room lightness and airiness. The atmosphere will become warm and cozy if you choose a warm scarlet tone and creamy white. nine0003

A red and white bathroom design will look spectacular when white dominates. In this case, large details and accents are highlighted in red. A stylish and non-standard solution is red plumbing against a background of white walls with small splashes of red.

In small rooms, the equality of two colors is appropriate, but do not forget to enter the third color as inclusions. In a small room, make white the main one, and in a spacious room, let red open up.

The black and red bathroom is a spectacular, contrasting and at the same time complex combination. Such a difficult duet must be able to be used correctly, then it will fill the room with luxury, chic and expressiveness.

This solution is suitable for large rooms with good artificial and daylight. In small bathrooms, the duo will hide the space a lot.

In a black and red bathroom, red is the best choice. For example, make walls and large objects red, but in different tones, and make the floor black. But at the same time, it is worth introducing a third color to dilute the saturation. White will successfully cope with this task. nine0003

It is not uncommon for designers to make both colors with good saturation dominant. Of course, even in a large room, such a solution will visually take up a little space. But the result will be worth it - the room will become "live", expressive and eye-catching.

Calm and delicate peach is effectively combined with an energetic and rich red. The combination is easy to perceive, it warms and fills the room with the energy of summer and flower fields. nine0003

Colors look spectacular in an equal duet in both large and medium-sized rooms. In small rooms, peach should be brought to the fore, and red in large rooms. Additional colors can be pink and white.
