Burnt orange in the bathroom? Yes, please. It's rich, it’s earthy, and it somehow manages to make even a Monday morning feel a little softer. I didn’t always get the hype, but that changed after a quick weekend update in my own rental—just switching out my old shower curtain for one in this terracotta-meets-rust tone made the whole space feel warmer. It was subtle, but the vibe shift was instant.
This color works in so many ways: on the walls, in the tiles, as a paint choice for the vanity, or even something as simple as a hand towel or bathmat. It's been showing up more and more in design feeds and bathroom renovations lately, which makes sense. With everyone leaning toward earthy palettes and moodier tones, burnt orange is starting to take up space in a good way.
In this post, I’ve rounded up 21 burnt orange bathroom ideas that don’t feel overdone or overly trendy. Just real spaces with thoughtful details—some bold, some subtle, all warm and totally doable, even if you’re working with a tight budget or a rental setup.
21 Burnt Orange Bathroom Ideas
1. Spa-Like Retreat: Burnt Orange Tile with Soaking Tub
A corner soaking tub is framed by a half-wall tiled in burnt orange ceramic. Above, the walls shift to soft fog gray paint. The tub surround includes a shelf holding folded towels in beige and soft plum. A wide window above the tub is covered in a Roman shade with a faint herringbone pattern in cream.

Burnt orange shines in this bathroom through a matte painted wall behind the vanity. The vanity is white, with a fluted front and gold knobs.

A runner rug in woven jute and rust tones runs in front of the sink, and the lighting comes from two globe sconces with brass bases.
3. Spa-Like Contrast: Burnt Orange Tile with White Tub
In this bathroom, a full burnt orange wall sits behind the tub, tiled in matte square ceramic. The remaining walls are painted warm beige.

A single dried bouquet in a glass vase sits in the corner of the counter.

Turns out, burnt orange has range. It works in sleek modern spaces, pairs beautifully with natural textures, and adds depth to even the smallest bathrooms. It doesn’t shout for attention, but it always leaves an impression. After looking through these 21 ideas, I’m honestly tempted to go a step further in my own space and try some tile or paint—not just textiles.
Whether you’re in the mood for a full update or just looking for one small change that brings some life back into your bathroom, this color is worth considering. Warm, grounded, and kind of unexpected. Just how I like my interiors these days.
And yes, I’m now officially team burnt orange.
