subject: Top Colors For Your Modern Bathroom [print this page] When you are redecorating your bathroom, you can really create a little piece of heaven in your home. Depending on the colors that you choose to use in your space, you can create a completely different look and feel to the room. You can make it calming, energizing, tranquil, or rejuvenating. There are all sorts of tile colors, materials and decorative metal wall hangings, and to complement your tile, you can choose any one of a seemingly unlimited number of colors.
Bold Bathroom Instead of the drab, neutral or stark white bathrooms of yesteryear, more and more color is being pulled into bathroom design. Colors like wine and teal are being added to bathrooms to add bold interest to the space. While either of these colors would certainly be a good choice to cover a wall, you may still prefer a neutral background with your bold color in your accessories. Either way works fine.
Blue, Green and Purple
It is all a matter of degree when you are adding color to your bathroom. By adding sea foam green and aqua blue, you can create a tranquil feeling to your bathroom. Then, by including some violet accessories or butterfly metal wall art, you add interest to this calming space. This color scheme can be echoed throughout the room by using glass or ceramic tiles in the tub and shower.
Brown and Blue
Again a matter of degree, this color combination can bring to mind everything from country to modern. By keeping your wood trim and cabinetry a warm brown, you can add a denim blue to your bathroom and create a calm country look. By making all of the wood elements a chocolate brown and adding turquoise to the space, you add a distinctly youthful and modern aesthetic to the space.
White and Blue
As you can see, blue is a popular choice for bathroom decor. Pair it with white, and you have an instant nautical feel to your bathroom. By using this simple color palette, you can use stripes and patterns to add visual interest and appeal to this crisp look.
Neutrals
Always in style tan, pale grey and cream are always a welcome color palette in the bathroom. Lending a natural look to the room, these colors work with slate, river rock and stone as well as with natural woods and metallic elements. Neutral colors in the bathroom are always appropriate.
Soft White - Instead of putting in sterile white tiles, fixtures and walls in your bath, you might want to select a softer white version of these elements. Cream or eggshell offer an appealing alternative to the harshness of stark white in the bathroom.
White and Black - This classic color palette can be dramatic, playful, or elegant all at once. You might also think about adding a single bold color to the mix and making the area ultra modern. For a vintage look, add a black and white checkerboard pattern to your floor, or create an eye-catching pattern in your shower using tile on the walls. Add a classic black border around white tile walls for a tailored and classic look.
