Choosing the best color scheme for your bathroom can seem like a chore, but we’re here to make it a little bit easier on you. Below are some of the best color schemes to tie your bathroom together as one beautiful, cohesive unit.
Contrasting Two Bright Colors
When choosing the colors for your bathroom, sometimes bright is a nice change of pace; it makes your bathroom feel larger while also giving it a slight flare. Using two bright colors that complement one another, such as white and red, encourages a bolder, more open, and more welcome feeling into your bathroom. You can do this with any two complementary colors, though; if you are using red, consider using a gold accent to make that red pop.
Colored Accents Matter
Colored accents don’t just matter; if you’re looking for a subtle way to unify your bathroom, they’re essential. Pairing hints of one color in every aspect of your bathroom, no matter how subtle, ensure that your bathroom looks elegant and welcoming. For example, pairing the same color of yellow in subtle places like the wallpaper, light posts, or painted around your sink can unify a bathroom with minimal effort.
Using Dark Colors Fearlessly
Dark colors in a bathroom can make people cringe a little bit, but using them correctly can bring your bathroom together into a beautiful gothic masterpiece. A dark flooring and wallpaper pattern or painted pattern is an excellent way to unify a bathroom and bring a strong feeling of hominess with dark colors. Another great reason to use dark colors is that they’re easier to keep clean! Make sure you let a little bit of a light color peer through the dark ones; otherwise, it may be hard to differentiate between the darker colors and, in turn, your hard work.
Use Natural Colors
Natural colors, such as a softer baby blue or a leaf green, are excellent ways to make your bathroom feel more natural and homey. Natural colors, primarily when used minimally with lighter colors like white or eggshell, helps to pull attention to essential parts of a room like a bathroom sink without being too bold or distracting. Softer natural colors can help ease the sharpness of a room as well if you prefer a gentler feel to your bathroom.
Unify Your Bathroom With Your Home
If you have a running theme in your home, why change it for your bathroom? Maybe the molding in the rest of your home is wavy, or you have a specific color pallet that is used in the other areas in your home that the family uses. Take a long hard look around your home. Is there anything you can add to your bathroom to tie it into the house already implemented in your designs? Unifying your bathroom and the design of the rest of your house can ensure that your bathroom doesn’t feel like it’s floating away from your home, making it more welcoming.
