Eight bathrooms with colorful toilets and sinks

For our latest lookbook, we’ve gathered eight bathrooms where the sanitary ware adds a splash of color, ranging from a green Portuguese “shower tower” to a bathroom with pink marble washbasins.

Although white toilets and basins are still the default choice, increasingly interior designers are experimenting with adding colorful sanitary ware to bathrooms.

Among the designs in this lookbook are stylish black toilets that add a graphic touch to the bathroom, as well as basins in a range of pastel hues including pale blue and avocado green.

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration see previous lookbooks featuring interiors with split-level living areas, mix-and-match flooring, and homes with cleverly hidden lifts.
