Whatever new items interior fashion brings us, there will always be universal materials and shades that it will not touch. Brown wall and floor tiles will never lose their relevance, as this finish gives coziness to any room.
Brown color is neutral and belongs to the natural palette. This shade is appropriate for any interior style and can be used in rooms of different types. If there is a question about the color scheme in the interior, and the choice of the desired shade is constantly being contested, then it is the brown color that wins any battle. Warm and noble, even the most fastidious person will like it.
And therefore, brown tiles will never get dusty on the counter of a hardware store. They readily buy it for the bathroom, toilet, hallway, kitchen, and even loggia.
For bathroom and toilet
The dark palette in the bathroom interior looks elegant and quite luxurious. And brown color can calm and relax. It never dominates, but seems to disappear into the design, setting a pleasant tone for the room.
Despite the benefits, brown bathroom tiles can be a hindrance if the goal is to make a small space appear larger. In large quantities it can compress walls. But these troubles can be easily avoided if you take into account the advice of designers and think through the design before purchasing the material.
Combination of brown tiles in the bathroom and toilet
The best companion for brown tiles would be a similar material in one of the shades of beige: cream, powdery, beige-peach, coffee with milk, caramel, sand - any of them will highlight the warmth of brown, while diluting it, depriving the bathroom of excessive coldness and gloom.
The combination of brown and beige gives the bathroom maximum warmth, “velvety”, and comfort.
Another good partner for brown tiles is white. In the bathroom and toilet, brown almost always coexists with white, because it is in this color that sanitary and hygienic equipment for the bathroom is most often made: bathtub, toilet, washbasin. The amount of white can be expanded by using white tiles paired with brown ones.
White, unlike caramel tones, is not able to reduce the harshness of brown. Often, on the contrary, it emphasizes its coldness, gloom and brutality. But the combination with white makes the bathroom much lighter. Brown absorbs light, while white reflects it. One is balanced by the other.
Brown tiles, as a rule, are not combined with colored ones. Complementary color is introduced in accents and decor. But if you want to dilute the brown tiles not with white or caramel, but with color, you have every chance of achieving an excellent result. There are two sure ways: 1. combine brown tiles with very light colored tiles that have a pastel shade ( duet ); 2. connect a brown tile with a bright colored one using a “bridge” of white or beige tiles ( trio ). In any case, one of the colors should be the main one, and the second should be an accent color, used to a lesser extent.
Selection rules
Tiles in brown tones are usually produced in the following styles:
- with imitation stone or metal;
- under the tree;
- neutral (more often it is a plain tile).
If we take the third option as a basis and cover the entire walls with it, the interior will look inexpressive. To prevent this from happening, you need to combine plain tiles with accent tiles or add ceramic decor. Brown bathroom tiles look incredibly beautiful in combination with mosaics from the same range.
If the interior lacks warmth, then the best solution is wood-look tiles. Wood texture and pleasant colors amazingly transform the space.
Whatever style your bathroom is decorated in, be it classic or elegant modern, brown shades will be good.
For those who prefer a cool atmosphere to reign in the bathroom, finishing materials with imitation stone are suitable. Marble tiles deserve special love. In warm colors it looks very soft.
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.
In the interior of the kitchen
Brown shades for finishing the kitchen look no less advantageous than for the bathroom. They are associated with such tasty and aromatic products as coffee, tea and chocolate. Where, if not in the kitchen, is there a place for such “fragrant colors”?
Tiles in the kitchen can be used for both floors and walls. It is used to line the aprons of the working area, because stains that are inevitable in the place where food is prepared will be invisible due to the color.
Matte tiles are better suited for the floor, and glossy tiles are better for the walls.
Samples that replicate the texture of wood go perfectly with classic wood kitchen furniture.

For the hallway
The most favorite material for finishing the floor in the hallway is ceramic tiles. And this is understandable, because it can withstand repeated loads, which include the endless “reception of visitors.” The tiles are easy to clean and wash, which is so important for the entrance area, which suffers from constant pollution.
Glossy ceramics are rarely used in the hallway. For floor tiles, it is better to consider options with a matte finish that do not cause slipping. Such tiles perfectly disguise traces of cleaning, i.e. the housewife does not have to look at stains from washing or constantly wipe it dry. Many designers recommend using matte tiles with a rough surface in the hallway to completely eliminate the possibility of slipping.

Balcony and loggia
No matter how your loggia or balcony is used, this place should look neat. One of the best floor coverings is ceramic tiles. Since dust and dirt can easily enter here, it is wise to think through the design with an emphasis on materials that are easy to clean.
Brown tiles in the interior of the loggia are an excellent option. The universal color scheme does not require additional play in a small area. Successful design - harmonious combinations of tiles in brown tones
In order for the design of the room to evoke only pleasant emotions, it is very important to use the purchased material beautifully. Even if you bought tiles for your bathroom that cost a fortune, they should blend beautifully with the rest of the colors. A little excursion into color science won't hurt. Best companion colors:
- “Related palette”: beige, powdery, shades of coffee, caramel, soft sand colors. It doesn’t matter whether the tiles used are glossy or matte, the combination of brown with one or more of the listed colors is always a perfect combination.
- White + shades of brown. A very successful partnership! Such combinations are especially popular in the bathroom and toilet, where the equipment is often snow-white. For example, dark-colored floor and wall tiles depress the design if they are not diluted with light inserts. It can be not only a plain tile, but also ceramics with a pattern, the shades of which correspond to the main color.
- Blue tiles. In interior design, brown tiles are rarely combined with colored ones. But there are exceptions that make this duo wonderful: blue and turquoise. Want to add some freshness to your favorite kitchen? Use woody tones in wall tiles, pairing them with pops of blue.
- Gold and bronze. Against the background of noble brown, these colors look luxurious! If the owners are fans of luxurious art deco, then even in the kitchen it wouldn’t hurt to add a little sparkle to the wall decor. The combination looks great where the brown floor tiles have a uniform color, and the wall tiles are decorated with a gilded pattern.

Geometry of combinations
Are there certain rules for laying tiles? Professional masters master them perfectly, but there are some generally accepted combinations.
Checkerboard floors
This method of installation has long been considered classic. When the same number of tiles of two opposite shades are used, laying the floor in a checkerboard pattern looks impressive in the design. This is especially true for bathrooms, where the popular size 30x30 cm is most often used in renovations.
Dark bottom - light top
Classic again. Such a win-win option for the bathroom and toilet. The combination is especially good if glossy tiles are used.
Inserts
Decorating with accent inserts is a fashionable technique. For example, if brown ceramics were used for the floor, then wall tiles of the same color should echo the contrasting inserts. These can be vertical or horizontal stripes, fragments with a pattern, etc.
The main thing is not to forget a simple rule: the smaller the room, the more light tiles are used in the design.
There is no need to waste time on pointless arguments about what color to paint the walls in the kitchen or the floor in the hallway. Choose brown - a surefire option.
