Colour Therapy: Summer Energy with Sorbet Shades

Transporting you to 1930s Miami or 1950s Palm Springs, this lively palette draws inspiration from ice-cream-coloured convertibles, dazzling villas surrounded by palms and, of course, pool parties. Remember to include brass taps and fittings on your mix-and-match mood board to bring out the beauty of sherbet and sorbet shades. Whether you prefer matt or polished finishes is entirely up to you. Try combining these colours and materials with geometric and relief tiles too.

Sorbet colours in design sit somewhere between the simple, neutral minimalism of Scandinavian interiors and a bold, textured maximalist aesthetic. This engaging colour trend emerged in Denmark, a country with a colourful design history: think of Lego alone. Danish designers and content creators first led this movement towards pastels in 2021, and the colour trend is now beginning to find its way into living spaces.

When refreshing a traditional Nordic bathroom, enliven the energy of sorbet colours with curves, fluted surfaces and geometric tiles. Enhance the feminine aesthetic with square tiles, terrazzo, coloured grout and colourful surfaces for an invigorating effect. Add sculptural fittings and matt black taps for a graphic accent alongside seafoam greens, warm pinks and clay tones, then complete the look with elliptical, oval or round mirrors.

Large compositions of patterned tiles resembling wallpaper have become increasingly common in bathrooms. They are offered as a costly solution for creating a feature wall in a bathroom or bedroom. To explore these predominantly nature-themed designs, look at Kale Seramik’s Fiore series, Shiro Bloom from the Wabi Collection and the Soul series from the Kapsül Collection. Each of these, and many more, can be a harmonious companion to your sherbet-coloured combinations.

We have explored a few ways to cool down in summer that are more creative than three scoops of fruit ice cream. Just as you choose flavours for a cone according to your taste, trust those same instincts when choosing colours and textures for your bathroom. First, be sure to explore the latest developments in wall and floor tiles, along with new models and materials. If you are refreshing your bathroom, make room for the lively, playful sorbet palette of soft yellows, corals, lavenders, blues, pinks, sage greens and mango-oranges, whether on one wall, throughout the room or in small decorative details.
