Time to read 5 min

Choosing the right colour for your bathroom can feel like a small decision, but it’s one that completely transforms how your space looks and feels. The right tones can make a small room appear spacious, give a dated bathroom a modern twist, or turn an ordinary shower into a peaceful sanctuary. With Easy Panels’ wide range of shower panels, finding your perfect shade and finish has never been easier.


From timeless marble tones to contemporary concrete and shimmering sparkle finishes, there’s a colour for every home style. Here’s how to choose the perfect one for you.

How to Choose the Right Colour for Your Bathroom

Start with the Mood You Want to Create

Every colour tells a story. Before you start looking at samples, think about the kind of mood you’d like to create in your bathroom.


Do you want a relaxing, spa-like retreat, or something bold and luxurious?

  • Warm neutrals such as beige, cream, and soft stone create a comforting, timeless look. Our Marble Collection is ideal for this atmosphere, offering delicate veining and natural stone tones that instantly bring calm to your space.

  • Cool tones like white, grey, and light blue lend a clean, modern edge. Try the White Collection for an effortlessly minimal finish that keeps your bathroom looking bright and fresh.

  • Dark and dramatic shades such as charcoal or slate can make a statement in larger bathrooms. The Polished Concrete and Light Concrete Stone panels in our Concrete Collection add depth and luxury while staying understated.




If you prefer a more textured and classic look, our Tile Collection brings the charm of traditional tiling without the maintenance. With realistic grout lines and a variety of shades, it’s perfect for adding character while keeping the seamless practicality of shower panels.


Once you know the feeling you’re after, narrowing down your options becomes much easier.

Assess Your Bathroom’s Size and Light


The size of your bathroom and the amount of natural light it gets will affect how colour behaves.


If your bathroom is on the smaller side, lighter shades are your best friend. They reflect more light, giving the illusion of space. White Sparkle Gloss panels are a customer favourite for this reason — the subtle shimmer catches the light beautifully and makes any room feel larger and brighter.


For bathrooms with more space or plenty of natural light, darker panels can look incredibly stylish. A Polished Concrete or Grey Stone Effect wall brings a strong, architectural feel without overpowering the room.


You can also play with finishes to change the mood. Gloss panels bounce light around and add modern flair, while matt panels create a softer, more organic feel.

Match Panels with Fixtures and Fittings


A truly cohesive bathroom design ties all elements together — from your shower panels to your taps, flooring, and mirror frame.

  • If your fixtures are chrome or silver, opt for cool whites or soft greys to complement their sleek tone. 

  • For brass or gold finishes, choose warmer hues like Beige Marbles or Cream Sparkle to enhance the warmth.

  • If your bathroom has wood-effect flooring, contrast it with Light Concrete or White Wood Matt panels to keep balance between rustic and modern textures.


Small details like towel colours and plants can also shift how a wall colour feels — green foliage pairs beautifully with white or grey panels, bringing life and softness to the space.

Balance Colour and Texture


When choosing panels, don’t just focus on colour — texture matters too. Two shades of grey can feel entirely different depending on the surface finish.


For instance, our Light Concrete Matt Shower Panel adds an urban, industrial edge, while our White Marble Gloss Panel  delivers a polished, elegant appearance. Combining different textures in one space — for example, a Marble feature wall with Total White side panels — adds depth and contrast while keeping the palette harmonious.


How Colour Affects Perceived Space and Cleanliness


Bathrooms should feel fresh and hygienic, and colour plays a big part in that perception.

  • White and light shades symbolise cleanliness and purity, making them perfect for family bathrooms.

  • Greys and beiges bring a sense of balance and timeless sophistication.

  • Darker tones add luxury and are great for en-suite or statement bathrooms, especially when paired with good lighting.



Easy Panels’ Gloss finishes also make cleaning effortless — no grout lines mean fewer places for dirt or mould to hide. You can enjoy a pristine finish that looks beautiful with minimal effort.

Choose Shower Panels Instead of Tiles

Why Choose Shower Panels Instead of Tiles


Beyond colour, shower panels offer practical advantages that make designing your bathroom easier.


Unlike tiles, which require grouting and regular maintenance, panels provide a seamless, waterproof surface that’s quick to install and effortless to clean. You can cover full walls or just your shower area, and the colour stays consistent throughout.


Because they’re lightweight yet durable, it’s simple to coordinate multiple tones — for example, combining Marble on the main wall with White Sparkle in the shower zone for a fresh, layered look.
