Blue defines the tiled areas
A deep glaze gives the walls a stronger presence. Narrow grout lines keep the repeated tile shape visible.

The indigo attic bathroom
Published
An attic bathroom with a roof window, bath beneath the slope and a full-height basin wall.
Standing at the basin requires the height that lying in a bath does not. This attic gives each fitting the appropriate part of the slope, with indigo tile below the white roof plane.
THE DESIGN
Indigo follows the tiled walls around the room. Terracotta on the floor brings a warmer surface beneath the white sanitaryware, so the darker envelope still has contrasts at different heights.
The rectangular Gemini cabinet sits above a white vanity, giving that wall a simple paired composition. The mirror is the selected catalogue item. Tile, bath and vanity choices require their own suitability checks; the image establishes the colour relationship.
WHY THE ROOM WORKS
The slope decides the layout; blue tile makes the lower walls distinct.

A different colour underfoot
Terracotta separates the floor from the blue walls. The colour study still needs a floor product and installation suitable for a working bathroom.
White fittings stay distinct
The vanity and bath have clear outlines against the deeper wall colour. Repeating white keeps these separate forms related.
A simple mirrored rectangle
The two-door cabinet follows the vanity's straight lines. Its actual size and storage requirements should determine the final position.
A lighter roof plane
The white slope holds daylight from the roof window. Task lighting and ventilation still need to work independently of the photograph.
WHAT TO BORROW
Compare the floor, tiled wall and sanitaryware together. Warmth can come from a lower surface even when most of the walls are a deep cool colour.
