7 Expert-Approved Colour Schemes for Your Bathroom
Number five might surprise you.
Bathrooms are the perfect space to add a little flair. Their small size and minimal furnishings offer flexibility when decorating, especially when it comes to colour schemes. Check out our list of seven bathroom colour ideas that are taking this year by storm.
Lilac
This gentle colour is a fan favourite for the upcoming season. Lilac is known for its soothing nature and is easily paired with cream-coloured items, whether that be a sink, towel, framed mirror or even crown moulding. Add to the room's harmony with a petite plant and the calming aroma of several candles.
You can add a little more depth than a typical tan or cream-coloured bathroom by selecting a cool green (like mint or sage). This refreshing shade is light enough to make the room appear wide and spacious and unique enough to stand out from other bathrooms. Select fixtures of the same colour scheme for an appealing monochromatic look.
More interested in a bold statement when it comes to bathroom colour ideas? A stupefying colour like this saturated teal will turn heads. When going with a daring colour, let the rest of the room radiate a more complementary bathroom colour scheme. This balancing act of white and silver/mirrored bathroom fixtures paired with the warm glow of the vanity lighting accentuates the vibrant nature of the teal.
Darker colours tend to make spaces appear smaller, so a deep plum is perfect for a master bathroom. Pair it with gray tile floors and white bathroom furnishings to balance the powerful wall colour. Keep it fun by decorating with colourful prints that add a splash of red and pink to really tie the room together.
This feminine bathroom is perfect for those that love injecting a welcoming sense of spring or just enjoy a tepid bathroom colour scheme. This pastel pink balances out the dark bathroom vanity base and its paired mirror and is lightened by the white accents from the wall art and decorative vase. Before you commit to a pink-pastel bathroom, try selecting a wallpaper or wall tile that offers samples and test them out in the space first.
There's nothing more luxurious than choosing white as the centre of your bathroom's colour scheme. Pairing pure white with cream, eggshell, golden and ivory hues will create subtle texture. Confidently layer these varying white shades via the bathroom wall colour, decorative accessories and cabinet trim. Just be ready to clean it frequently.
Keep it peachy. This pinkish hue is warm and inviting, especially when paired with a light wood vanity and matching mirrors. Choose a similar shade of pink or peach that complements the warmth of your vanity. It's also a great choice for beach houses or vacation homes because of the fun and light atmosphere it creates.
