Especially in places like the bathroom, white is a color that adapts easily to any style, from minimalist to sophisticated, while creating a mood of serenity and harmony.
Choosing the right type of tile is fundamental, but how do you select the ideal white tiles for an exquisite bathroom?
The answer lies in a combination of different factors, including the type of finish, the space available and lighting conditions.
The Ragno collections offer a vast range of solutions, designed to meet all stylistic requirements, from glossy white tiles for those in search of a fresh, radiant look to matt variants for people who prefer more modern, recherché interior design. So let’s check out some inspirations for creating your own tailor-made bathroom, where every detail counts.
Why choose white tiles for your bathroom?
Opting for total white – all-white floor, walls and furnishings – works in every room in the home, including the bathroom. In fact, white is supremely effective in reflecting light, creating an airy, inviting impression even in windowless or small rooms (which bathrooms often are).
What’s more, white bathroom floor and wall tiles are incredibly versatile, easily adapting to any interior design style, from classical to minimalist through to contemporary. Whether you’re trying to achieve an elegant, traditional look or a plainer, more modern design scheme, white tiles are the perfect background for any kind of interior: they blend easily with furniture of any color and can be combined with other shades on the walls to create contrasts or tasteful harmonies.
Finally, but no less important, this color has close associations with hygiene and cleanliness, as it gives interiors a pristine, immaculate character.
Types of white tiles: which should you choose for your bathroom?
Color isn’t the only factor when choosing white tiles for your bathroom: the finish, size and texture play an important role in creating your overall design scheme.
A white bathroom doesn’t necessarily have to be monotonous: an intriguing, variegated, individual interior can be created by combining different finishes or opting for tiles of different sizes. Inventive use of sizes and patterns will make your bathroom unique, avoid an impression of boring uniformity and give you an interior that really reflects your style.
White tiles can have a glossy or matt finish depending on the mood you want to create in your bathroom. The tiles’ size also plays a fundamental role: large slabs provide continuity and a minimalist look, perfect for a modern, sophisticated design scheme, while smaller sizes, geometrical motifs or mosaics have great creative potential. What’s more, three-dimensional and bevelled tiles can add depth and a touch of retro style, perfect if the aim is a bathroom with a distinctive personality.
White bathroom tiles, matt or glossy?
Glossy tiles are perfect if you want to achieve a more radiant effect. Their reflective finish adds shine to the whole bathroom and makes even the smallest spaces appear larger. If you’re aiming to make your bathroom look larger and brighter, glossy tiles are the ideal choice.
Matt tiles, on the other hand, are perfect for a softer, more contemporary effect: collections such as Stratford Wall offer solid, tactile design, ideal for anyone seeking to create a more understated, sophisticated interior.
White bevelled tiles: a touch of retro style
White bevelled tiles are an excellent choice for anyone wishing to add a touch of retro style to their bathroom. Characterised by a surface bevelled like that of a diamond, these tiles have a fascinating texture that creates interplays of light and shade, adding depth and variety to the interior.
These tiles are perfect for designing rooms with a vintage, industrial or classical personality, which combine a retro aesthetic with modern practicality. The visual effect generated by bevelled tiles can be used to decorate walls or floors or simply as an ornamental feature in a specific area of the bathroom, such as the shower or the wall behind the washbasin.
The Ragno collections offer a number of bevelled tile options: to name just one, the Off collection, with its bevelled ceramic tiles, is a masterly modern rereading of a classical motif, and fits beautifully into bathrooms of all kinds.
Total white bathroom: which are the right tiles for a uniform effect?
Anyone opting for a total white bathroom faces the problem of overcoming its visual monotony. In fact, an all-white bathroom can be elegant and light-filled, but unless textures are used to break up its uniformity the interior may lack character.
It’s therefore essential to make effective use of finishes, by mixing glossy and matt tiles or alternating them with three-dimensional ones. The Imperiale collection with its marble effect and the stone-effect Creek collection are perfect solutions for a uniform look that still has a wealth of details to avoid monotony.
How do you combine colored walls with a white-tiled bathroom?
It’s fundamental to combine colored walls with a white-tiled bathroom to create your intended mood. White is an extremely versatile color, but for the best aesthetic result it’s important to choose the right shade and contrast for the walls, to emphasise the tiles’ beauty without detracting from the overall lightness.
If you want to add a little contrast to your white bathroom, dark shades like anthracite grey, midnight blue or black are ideal choices. These colors provide elegance and modernity, highlighting the white tiles’ radiance and creating a sophisticated mood. The combination of white tiles and dark-colored walls is perfect for spacious bathrooms or for heightening the visual intensity.
However, if you prefer a gentler, more relaxing atmosphere, pastel colors like pale pink, light blue or peppermint green are ideal choices. These cool, delicate colors harmonise with white perfectly in a subtle contrast that enhances the tiles’ beauty without making the interior oppressive. Perfect for a minimalist or nordic style, pastel colors add warmth without weighing down the design scheme, creating an air of freshness and serenity.
The choice between warm or cool shades depends mainly on the visual effect you want to achieve. Warm colors like beige, taupe or sand help to make the bathroom cosy and intimate and combine with white in a gentle, natural contrast that delicately emphasises rather than reducing the overall impression of lightness. On the other hand, cool shades like pale grey or blue add freshness and serenity and give the bathroom a modern character.
To conclude, combining white tiles with colored walls offers plenty of scope for personalisation: whether you opt for a total white bathroom, a contrast with dark shades or more subtle hues, Ragno offers many inspirations for creating the ideal mood in your bathroom.
White bathroom coverings: ideas for a unique style
The use of white for bathroom tiles not only guarantees elegance and radiance but also provides amazing versatility, as it adapts perfectly to any style.
It’s a matter not just of the color itself but also of the combination of textures and materials. In fact, white is suitable for widely varying design solutions, from smooth, elegant, modern surfaces to more textured finishes like the marble and stone effects, which add depth and sophistication.
The important thing is the choice of material, which must be given due consideration: porcelain stoneware is particularly popular in view of its strength and durability, while white-body tiles provide radiance thanks to their smooth, reflective surfaces.
Marble effect: timeless elegance
The white marble effect is one of the most exquisite choices for the bathroom, ideal for anyone in search of elegance and durability. Marble-effect porcelain stoneware offers the luxury and beauty of natural marble but with the convenience and durability typical of stoneware. Its delicate or striking veining can transform a bathroom into a refined, timeless interior: these tiles are perfect for creating a look that references the elegance of classical bathrooms but that can also be adapted for more modern styles, with bright, contrasting effects.
Stone effect: a white bathroom but with character
If you want a white bathroom with a touch of character, the stone effect is the ideal solution. Stone-effect stoneware tiles combine the elegance of white with this material’s tactile appeal and warmth, creating a natural, intimate mood.
Perfect for lovers of a more organic, rustic style, stone-effect tiles can be used on both floors and walls, to design a bathroom steeped in authenticity.
Large-size tiles for a modern, minimalist bathroom
Large-size tiles are the ideal choice for anyone intending to create a bathroom in modern, minimalist style. The use of large slabs, without visible joints, provides a uniform, contemporary look that extends spaces’ perceived size, making the bathroom appear larger and immaculate. The largest sizes are recommended in particular for creating simple yet extremely striking design schemes.
The Ragno collections offer a number of large-size options, such as the Off collection, which includes tiles of 30×90 cm ideal for achieving a uniform, sophisticated look. Large slabs enable the creation of seamless surfaces with an impeccable, elegant appearance, perfect for modern bathrooms where simplicity and purity are all-important.
White tiles offer countless benefits: they adapt easily to any style, from classical to modern, and can be personalised with different finishes and sizes to make every interior unique. Whether you’re planning a monochrome bathroom or a combination of contrasts, white offers you infinite design options.
