It's a jungle out there

The tropical trend of Jungle themed bathrooms is one that we love. It’s such a bold and daring look, but it just works and it can look stunning when done right. So, how is this look achieved? The most obvious thing we think of with jungle are all the vibrant, oversized leaves and juicy green colours. It wouldn’t be a jungle without! Those, teamed with the appearance of tropical birds, flowers and animals, and you’re well on your way to a rainforest rapture.

Make a feature of it

Novabell have a fabulous collection, Touche, which features a beautiful décor tile perfect for a jungle feature wall. Installing a feature wall is a great way to bring in a theme without it becoming too overbearing. By keeping the rest of the room light and bright, your eyes are automatically drawn to the magnificence of a feature wall. The Decoro Fiore Misto tile compromises of lush green ferns, monsteras and other tropical leaves, as well as rich pinks and peaches of the blossoms. You could also bring colours into the bathroom in ways such as matching towels and accessories, not to mention little succulents on your shelves.

Mainzu’s Jungle and Balistone collections are another great way to work in nature and wildlife but on a smaller scale. These small rectangular and square tiles feature bright flowers and animals, alongside the vibrant greens of the lush leaves. Working these in sporadically, against plain tiles of the same size, creates a subtle jungle statement without it being too over the top. It's a great way to get the look you're after but keep it understated.

Go BIG

Alternatively, you could make a statement and tile all the walls in bold, jungle tiles and bring the outside in. Quite often we find that décor tiles with a rainforest/animal theme have simpler leafy designs as well as a plain tile. This is the case with Ornamenta’s Cityscape collection – a bold décor tile that makes a feature wall mural and a leafy second décor. Create that feature wall we talked about but tile the remaining walls in leaves to keep the continuity of the theme. The décor mural in this collection is fantastic and has a variety of animals and birds hidden amongst the leaves allowing you to accessories in a variety of colours. There are plenty of tile factories out there that have created some great leafy designs that you could also team with feature jungle wall paper too. Such a collection is Vegetal by Pamesa. This collection is tasteful and natural in appearance and would compliment a variety of colour schemes and designs, especially if you fancied painting or wallpapering the remaining walls in a darker colour such as bottle green or navy blue to make a mysterious and interesting bathroom.

If statement prints aren’t your thing there are other ways to create a jungle themed bathroom very easily. This can be created by using a suitable colour scheme such as a bottle green metro tile or green multi tonal small format tiles, alongside a neutral colour palette. Combining glossy green tiles and muted plainer tiles allows for the extravagance of oversized plants in large numbers, creating that foresty vibe. You could even look into a living wall as they thrive in environments such as a bathroom due to the moisture in the air and will add that extra punch of natural green.

Wood effect flooring goes perfectly alongside a jungle themed bathroom because of it’s natural look. The warm, woody tones contrast against the vibrant greens in harmony creating your own little piece of forest heaven. You can read more about how to incorporate wood effect tiles in your home here.

Robert Mason, Quite Simply French

The team at Rees Tiles were super. They were really helpful when choosing our tiles for 3 rooms in our refurb.

We felt very confident when chatting to Holly and Steve about our ideas. They provided invaluable advice about all of the types of tiles we wanted. They were very friendly and gave us time to think about our ideas, even allowing us to bring in our kitchen cupboards to match the colours perfectly. Thank you!

Mrs Tillotson, Client

We recently undertook a self-build project and had both the bottom floor and all the bathrooms to tile. Steve was really helpful from the outset and just "got" what I was after straight away, picking out a selection of tiles that were all suitable. It meant that rather than taking ages to choose, I'd actually picked most of the options in my first visit - which is great when you have so many other decisions to make! Steve and the rest of the team were great throughout the whole process and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to others.

Melissa Woods, Self Build Customer

We are really happy with the service we get from Rees Tiles. Steve always responds to emails quickly, with a quick turnaround on quotes and great products supplied.

Sohailia Amini, Wrenman Homes

I have had the pleasure of dealing with the team at Rees Tiles over a number of years and have always found them to be knowledgeable and helpful, an all round first class service.

Harvey Bainbridge, Client

We find our relationship with Rees Tiles very professional and reliable. The fact that we can call to order stocked tiles and receive them to site the following morning is fantastic. It means that no job is held up and the turnaround for the end purchaser is smooth and quick.

Jonathan Willan, Site Manager at Halton Mills Ltd.

Looking for tiles for our bathroom, kitchen and extension floor was made easy by the fantastic displays and huge choice of tiles available at the Rees Tiles and Flooring showroom in Lancaster. Steven and Holly were very obliging, offering us their knowledgeable advice on finishes and grout colours, and also allowed us to take various samples home to try. Rees Tiles is the place to go for a wonderful selection of quality tiles with a helpful, friendly service.

Mrs Richardson-Hogg, Client

When we decided we wanted to update all the en-suites at The Sun Hotel we called into Rees Tiles and Flooring by chance and I am so thrilled we did. From start to finish the service was fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for more. Using Rees Tiles and Flooring made what could have been a stressful time so much easier. I’d be happy to recommend them to anybody who requires tiles.

Helen Henderson, The Sun at Troutbeck Bridge

Patient and Helpful with a Beautiful outcome! We were searching for the perfect shades and textures for the floor and bathrooms in our new home, which we finally found thanks to the expert and friendly team at Rees Tiles and Flooring. From start to finish they were wonderful, delivering tiles and underfloor heating when we needed it so the fixer could keep to the planned timescales. Great service and amazing products.

Mrs Wanless, Client

Steve and the team at Rees Tiles have been great in helping us choose what would work with the kitchen. They were really excited when we said we wanted to use large tiles in the kitchen, and this made us feel even more certain we’d made the right decision.

Mr Bower, Client

The team at Rees Tiles assisted me in matching up colours and explaining which would work best in my home. They worked alongside the people working on my house really well and I didn’t have to be involved which made it really stress-free for me – something which is appreciated when moving to a new house! I’m so pleased with my bathroom and kitchen and am planning on getting some tiles for my hallway soon!

Mrs Carney, Client

We have over the last 3 years totally refurbished our 5-star Silver award B&B. Rees Tiles and Flooring have supplied all the tiles for our bathrooms and kitchen and we cannot praise them highly enough. The tiles are top class quality as is the service received from Steve and his staff. We would not buy tiles in the future from anywhere else and would recommend them to anyone.

Mel Smith, Capernwray House B&B

Everyday durability and long-term maintenance are important factors when choosing any product, especially for use in a commercial environment. We’ve used many grouts and sealants over the years but found nothing that goes the distance when it comes to deterioration or discolouration.

Carl Johannessen, Jigsaw PFM

I would certainly recommend Rees Tiles and Flooring Ltd to anyone. From the minute I walked in I was greeted with a smile and received fantastic service. The team helped me in selecting the tiles for my main bathroom, en-suite and kitchen. Rees Tiles are willing to go that extra step further to make sure the customer is completely satisfied – it’s just a shame I have nothing else I need to tile now!

Mr Keit, Client

My mum has used Rees Tiles for years and it was off her recommendation that we got in touch with Steve and Holly. They listened to what we wanted and understood the look we were trying to achieve. We borrowed samples and by having the tiles at the house we were able to decide what worked best in the space and lighting. I especially like the colours in the mosaic, and everyone always compliments on how eye-catching and effective they look. Thanks for all your help Rees Tiles!
