Warm Color Combinations

• A collection of warm colors like orange, red, pink and yellow for the wall and floor tiles will make the room feel especially inviting and are ideal for large, open spaces in your home, like the master bathroom or kitchen. Warm colors tend to move inward and give the space an intimate feel, so a combination of hues on the warm side of the color wheel will help you to express your caring and nurturing decorative personality easily. For instance, dark and light red tiles on the bottom half of a black and white bathroom add a pop of color that evokes passion and excitement. Orange floor tiles for the kitchen are a subtle way to stimulate the appetite and make the space more comfortable for friends and loved ones.
  
  

Cool Color Combinations

• Mixtures of cool hues like purple, blue and green have a receding effect on the kitchen or bathroom, and add a calm but attractive sensibility to either space. Cool-colored tiles are also ideal for small spaces in the home like the powder room or hallway since the shades will make the areas appear larger. Alternating blue and green tiles on the floor of a bathroom where the main color is gray is visually impressive. Purple in several shades like aubergine, pomegranate and lilac on the bottom half of a hallway wall will make the hall seem a little wider and give this section of your home practical sophistication.
  
  

Warm and Cool Combinations

• Mixing warm and cool colors together on tile can serve as the decorative focal piece in the room. If the tiles on your living room floor are a shade of blue or gray, offset these cool colors with a tile wall mosaic on the accent wall composed of warm shades of yellow to add brightness to the room without overwhelming the space. For bathroom tiles that are black or white, paint random tiles on the floor and walls in eye-catching shades of blue, pink, orange and purple to make the space more appealing to your children.
  
  

Pastels With Bold Colors

• Mix the pastel and vibrant versions of the same color for tile that has an aesthetically pleasing monochromatic effect. For instance, use tile paint to give the floor in the master bathroom a cobalt blue coat; adorn the wall tiles in periwinkle to counter the bold flooring, but maintain the relaxing effect of blue. Or install pastel pink floor tiles in a bathroom with a black vanity, sinks, or bathtub and paint the tiles on the wall a deep shade of fuchsia to break up the starkness of the black.
