Add a twist to a feminine bathroom with pops of your favourite colours. Feminine colours don’t have to be pink or pastel, but they’re typically softer versions of strong colours.

We love this combination of earthy orange, grey and ivory, displayed through super versatile metro tiles.

Pops of colour always add a delightful twist and feminine touch to a bathroom. Generally softer versions of strong colours tend to be used.
