We are not the most adventurous when it comes to colour choice in this country. Grey is the most popular colour choice on the market but beige bathroom wall panels come a close second. Beige and grey.
You might be forgiven for thinking that these are boring choices but there are very good reasons for their popularity.
How Bathroom Size Affects Your Choices
Most British bathrooms are not very big. Older properties can have larger rooms but most modern bathrooms are given a pretty minimal amount of space.
This is probably the correct way to go about allocating space within a house because the room is not used continuously. So as long as it is big enough to function it is probably more beneficial to allocate any spare space to bedrooms or living areas.
Consequently, bathroom wall panel colours have to be chosen from the very light end of the spectrum. Dark colours do not work well in small spaces and can make them feel even smaller
Grey is the most neutral colour (if it is a colour at all) whilst beige offers a little warmth and a more natural feel. So beige bathroom wall panels are chosen quite often out of necessity. All this is starting to sound too negative which it shouldn’t because many of the beige designs are incredibly attractive.
A further option will be between choosing a panel with a full pattern across its surface or one that emulates the look of tiles. There are even mosaic options available.
And when you add in the choice between matt and gloss finishes you can see that there are plenty of decisions to be made before you settle on the design that suits you best.
Beige Panel Options
There are quite a few options that you need to consider when choosing a beige bathroom wall panel design.
Firstly, panels come in a variety of sizes. Some are as narrow as 10omm in width while others can be over a metre wide. There is no inherent advantage or disadvantage to the size in use. But narrower panels are generally easier to cut and handle. They all do the same job and will all outperform tiles as a wall covering.
Some beige panels have only the slightest hint of colour. Others will be darker and more obvious. And of course, there are plenty of options in between.
Plain colours are not usually an option when it comes to wall panels, with white being the only common exception.
Usually, the panels will have some form of stone effect pattern on them that tries to emulate the look of the real thing.
Marble is constantly top of the pile when it comes to customers’ choices. A huge proportion of wall tiles are made with a marble effect and so panel manufacturers have provided what the customer wants and done the same. Other stone effects are available such as sandstone or travertine.
