Bathroom Colors

The use of bathroom colors is one of the best decorating tools available. It allows you to express your own individuality and creativity. When choosing colors consider the type of bath and who will be using it. For instance a child’s bathroom might have bright hues in warm tones. Warmer tones include red, yellow and orange and create a mood of energy and vibrancy. If you are designing a master bath peace and tranquility might be the mood you are seeking. Soothing neutrals, greens, and soft blue hues can create a relaxing environment.

Bathroom colors such as beige, white and neutral are classy and timeless. They look clean and crisp and work well with almost any design style. Neutrals and pastels make bathrooms look lighter and larger. Spice it up with a splash of color by adding rugs, artwork, linen and window treatments.

For those of you that are adventurous, bold bright hues are becoming increasing popular design trends. Painting the walls is an inexpensive way to experiment with color. An out dated color on a bathtub or shower can be expensive to change. Dark tones can make a room seem smaller. If you are drawn to darker shades make sure to adjust your lighting.

For inspiration use a color wheel or go to your local home improvement store and get paint swatches. Once you have picked your perfect shade paint it on white poster board and hang it on the wall. Look at it for a couple of days and see how it plays with the lighting in the room and the overall mood it creates. If you like the color and the ambiance it creates than you have found the perfect color for your luxury bathroom.
