Half-height colour creates two surfaces that will always be read together. In our Midstocket, Aberdeen bathroom, green tiles surround the bath and continue at half height elsewhere. A patterned floor, pedestal basin and mirror cabinet contribute to the traditional character.
Compare the proposed upper-wall finish with the green tile and floor pattern in one view. Consider the balance while standing at the basin and while using the bath, where more of the upper wall may enter your view. Choose the paint at the height where it will meet the tile, then check it beside the window and mirror. Keeping that larger composition in mind helps you choose colour for the whole routine. The result can have several distinctive materials while still giving the practical white fittings a clear setting.
