Design rules
To create a stylish and effective interior, without excessive pomp and tackiness, designers recommend adhering to several recommendations when decorating a bathroom:
- Gold-colored decor will be difficult to show off in all its glory in a small room. Its beauty will be fully revealed only in a spacious room.
- Moderation should be observed and avoid excesses and excessive use of golden color, especially in a small room. The combination of gold with the main background should not exceed a ratio of 1:3.
- When using gold, style direction is very important. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the chosen style and think through everything down to the smallest details.
- It is preferable to decorate the room in light colors.
- When decorating gold decor, adequate lighting is very important.

Furniture and accessories for a yellow (gold) bathroom
When choosing plumbing fixtures, you should focus on the dimensions of the restroom and the bathroom as a whole. Popular corner baths with various water supply functions will bring a lot of pleasure. Particular attention should be paid to faucets, as they play an additional decorative role. Taps, handles and hangers of a golden hue will complement the design of the toilet and bathroom. But this does not mean that chrome faucets will not fit into the interior. Where blue, green, lilac and other colors are used, there is always a place for steel plumbing.
Ceramic bathtubs, steel trays, sinks and toilets for the bathroom can be not only white, but also yellow. When choosing such plumbing fixtures, focus on the amount of the main color. With a combined bathroom, the toilet has its place in the room, but you want to create some privacy in this area. Designers recommend using glass or wooden screens for separation.
Combination with other colors
Gold harmonizes perfectly with light and warm pastel tones that reflect its radiance. They absorb golden reflections that are reflected throughout the room, filling the surrounding interior with sun and warmth. The combination of gold and terracotta looks beautiful.
A combination of gold with deep and rich tones of chocolate or black coffee will give an even greater effect. The floor, decorated in this color scheme, looks especially good.
A bathroom with gold goes well with decorations and accessories in emerald, turquoise, purple, pink, and ripe cherry.
A combination of gold and light yellow will give a delightful visual effect. These two colors will highlight each other favorably, giving the environment an atmosphere of beauty, joy and well-being.
Combination with white and black
Two opposite colors - black and white - are successfully combined with gold trim. The combination with white will look harmonious in almost any room.
The combination of black and gold looks very mysterious, elegant and pretentious. To be fully realized, it needs a spacious room and free space.
Photos of a gold bathroom clearly demonstrate the variety of design solutions and possibilities for combining gold with other colors.

Tile selection
One of the main ways to decorate is to use gold bathroom tiles, which can be used to decorate one of the walls in the room or a border.
Golden stripes on a light background and gold ornaments look beautiful. You can completely decorate the walls or floor with golden-colored tiles.
Accessories should be chosen in a different color. Gold tiles can be used to lay out the wet area or the area next to the washbasin.
Room decor
The bathroom can be decorated with additional gold accessories that will add sophistication and status to it - gold-plated faucets, cups for toothbrushes, a mirror framed with a gilded frame, cabinet handles, hangers, a curtain in gold color or with gold patterns and others.
Important: If you purchased gold-colored sanitary ware for your bathroom, it is not recommended to reuse it to decorate the walls, floors and ceilings.
You can show all the luxury and elegance of the room with the help of lighting by choosing gold lamps for the bathroom.
Gold tiles for luxury bathrooms
Gold tiles for a bathroom in a wooden house can be an excellent solution to add a small amount of luxury to the interior design and is very suitable for those who prefer rich interiors that emphasize the high status of the owners. Nowadays, gold trim is at the peak of fashion, as can be judged even by the covers of glossy magazines telling about fashionable decorative trends.
However, gold tiles for the bathroom should look harmonious and not overly pretentious, so modern designers recommend following a few simple rules when decorating bathrooms.
It is not recommended to “fill” all surfaces in the room with imitation gold: the gold color can be basic or additional. Gold tiles look very elegant with glossy black, soft cream or bright red.
Golden gloss, if it is monochromatic, looks too boring, so it is better if the material is made with a “brick”, “fabric” or “stone” texture. Gold tiles with geometric patterns or a casual floral pattern also look good.
The photo below shows an interesting solution that combines a mosaic of gold and light sand colors.
Professional designers working on tile models from global manufacturers present in their collections many interesting options with gold trim:
Do not be afraid of experiments: the decoration of bathrooms should be in a style close to the spirit of its owner. Some people prefer lots of small details that distract and entertain them, while others would like to see a simple and practical interior. The designer advises those whose inconsistency forces them to frequently change their interior to choose materials that are low cost and do not require too complex and costly installation.
Gold tiles and decors
Decorating bathrooms with gold tiles in our time symbolizes the wealth of the owners of the house and silently speaks of their respectability. Such tiles became a trend just a few years ago and have not lost their popularity even now.
Some people think that a bathroom tiled with gold tiles looks too pretentious, but designers argue that this can only be said when all surfaces, that is, walls, floors and ceilings, are covered with precious tiles, and in other cases, the shiny tiles simply add to the room gloss.
From the point of view of designers, gold decor on tiles chosen in one tone and acting as a background (white, red, gold or black) looks especially impressive. This color scheme looks elegant and truly luxurious.
Thin gold tiles in combination with a background with a relief texture that imitates natural materials (paper, fabric or stone) look beautiful and rich. Such decors are appropriate almost everywhere.
Precious inlay
Gold tiles can have a wide variety of shapes and sizes, so modern designers are practically unlimited in creating royal or fantastic interiors. In specialized stores you can purchase rectangular, square or plain tiles with gold patterns, and if desired, you can also find mosaic or its imitation or subtle gold decor.
Gold tiles can be decorated with relief patterns on plant and floral themes or geometric motifs. A bathroom decorated with tiles with an elegant gold pattern looks more dynamic and expressive.
Possible decor options
From all points of view, golden tiles are a “luxury” interior element. Elegant decors or borders with gold splashes or panels with gold patterns can become that very “highlight” that will expressively emphasize the brilliance and elegance of the interior, but will not reset the renovation budget.
Sometimes designers use just a few gold tiles for decoration and at the same time the bath becomes a real “dream”.
Elite gold tiles, made using real gold, are currently expensive, but their excellent imitation, which is made using modern technologies, is practically indistinguishable in appearance from gold-plated surfaces and is quite affordable. It has been noted that such an imitation in the interior looks almost as impressive as the original.
Style direction
A gold-colored bathroom harmonizes perfectly with the ancient and solemn style of architecture, such as Baroque, and with the classical style.
However, gold also looks good in combination with modern decor, giving it nobility. Therefore, it can be used for design in a modern style.

With the correct placement of the main accents and details, you will get a beautiful and memorable interior. But in minimalism and high-tech styles, gold trim is extremely rare.
Materials
Dark design requires careful selection of finishes. All materials must be expensive and of high quality. Dark tones love luxury. Experts advise taking a closer look at dark types of wood and black marble. Wood objects will give such interiors a soft and light look.
The loft will require concrete. Other possible options:
To make the interior look harmonious, you need light textiles and translucent accessories.
