When it comes to design, there’s one room in the house that often gets overlooked. People typically want to get in and out of this room as quickly as possible and tend not to talk about what goes on in there. We’re talking about the bathroom.
But this room shouldn’t be neglected! If your bathroom has an outdated color scheme, it can make you (or your guests) feel even more uncomfortable than you might already be. But what kind of atmosphere do you want to create in the bathroom? What paint colors in the bathroom can contribute to that tone? Read on to find out!
Creating a Clean, Relaxing Setting
Even though some unsanitary activities happen in the bathroom, this room is used for other things too, such as showering or bathing, putting on makeup, and brushing your teeth. It needs to be and look clean at all times. Otherwise, you or your guests are going to dread being in there. This room must provide a comfortable, safe environment, and the color on the walls can help you and your guests feel more at ease.
Colors to Consider for the Bathroom
Here are some colors that can help the room provide a nice, clean escape when nature calls or when getting ready for the day.
Light Blue
You can never go wrong with a light shade of blue in the bathroom. Whether you choose a robin’s egg blue or a sky blue, these peaceful shades are comforting and have continued to be a popular option for many years.
Dark Blue
If you’re looking for a more dramatic color for the bathroom, darker shades of blue are worth considering. These can bring richness and sophistication to this space while still carrying a similar calming effect as their lighter blue counterparts.
Aquamarine
Is there anything more calming than the sound of ocean waves? Selecting a color and theme that reminds you of the ocean can add that peace to your bathroom. Just be sure to choose a paler shade of aquamarine, or this color could be overpowering.
Light Gray and Off-White
Other than providing a calm, peaceful environment, the bathroom needs to be a clean, sanitary space. That’s one of the reasons why hospitals tend to be have white walls. To give a similar impression, you can choose an off-white or light gray color. These are close enough to white but add a little bit more personality and interest to the room.
Earthy Brown
In some bathrooms, particularly large ones with plants and bright fixtures and accents, a charcoal, burnt brown may be a fun choice. Keep in mind that this color is not recommended for small rooms, as its darkness can make the space feel even tighter.
Ultimately, this room plays an essential part in creating a comfortable home. So choose your colors carefully!
