Design Ideas: Colors, Fixtures, and Patterns

Once you've selected your installation location, thoughtful pairing with complementary elements enhances the overall effect. The rich depth of dark blue interacts beautifully with various materials and finishes, offering extensive design possibilities for any aesthetic preference.

For grout selection, white or light gray grout creates striking contrast that emphasizes each tile and the classic subway pattern. Dark blue or charcoal grout produces a seamless appearance where the overall color field takes center stage. Navy grout offers a middle ground that defines individual tiles while maintaining visual cohesion.

Fixture finishes significantly affect your tile's final look. Brass and gold hardware create warm, luxurious contrast that prevents dark blue from feeling too cool while adding glamorous touches. Brushed nickel and chrome fixtures offer crisp, contemporary contrast for modern spaces. Matte black fixtures provide sleek monochromatic elegance. This tile pairs beautifully with white marble countertops for classic refinement, warm wood tones for organic richness, or brass accents for vintage-inspired character.

Installation patterns influence how your design reads visually. Traditional running bond offers timeless appeal with straightforward installation. Herringbone patterns add dynamic movement and visual complexity, perfect for feature walls. Vertical stacking creates height and modern geometric interest, while staggered patterns introduce contemporary edge to the traditional format.
