7 color ideas for your bathroom that will refresh, invigorate and calm you every day

Bathroom with pink bathtub is Pint & Paper Library – Comment from Andy:

“Bathrooms are wonderfully private spaces where you can indulge in truly opulent and intimate colour combinations. Combine the deep blue ‘Mockingbird’ with the new sensual deep pink ‘Kasbah’ for a sumptuous and sophisticated interior. Inspired by the blue mockingbird, which has a deep, muted blue due to the structure of its feathers, the fabulous deep blue of ‘Mockingbird’ is suitable as both a highlight and an all-over colour in an enveloping and enveloping scheme. For a surprising and sophisticated finish, combine it with the new sensual ‘Kasbah’, which offers a grounding and calming accent colour.”

“Bathrooms are often painted white out of habit, but instead of a cold, generic white scheme, you can create a relaxing oasis with deep, rich, warm and lush colors. These convey a sense of opulence while creating a natural and cozy feel. Avoid harsh, bright whites and instead combine natural stone tones, warm whites or warm grays, or soft accent colors for a luxurious feel that envelops the room and adds warmth.”

A deep blue and grown-up pink create a luxurious bathroom concept.

“Bathrooms are wonderfully private spaces where you can indulge in truly opulent and intimate colour combinations. Combine deep blue with our new sensual dark pink for a sumptuous and sophisticated interior,” says Andy Greenall, Creative Director at Paint & Paper Library. “Use Mockingbird throughout for a cosy feel, then the pink bathroom provides a grounding and calming accent.”

Bathroom color idea 5: White on white

Pure white bathrooms can seem dull and sterile, but when designed correctly, they can be a calming oasis of peace. Choose warm white for walls, furniture and even accessories, but use more texture.

From parquet floors to marble cabinetry and high-gloss gold faucets, textures take center stage in white bathrooms. Add color with nothing but plants to create the ultimate airy, zen space.

Bathroom color idea 6: Black and white

Monochrome is a timeless design choice and works well in any bathroom, from the most traditional to the most contemporary. While black absorbs light, white reflects it, creating a balanced scheme that is soothing to the eye and, in turn, to the mind.

With these geometric tiles you can create an eye-catching and fun accent wall that will put you in a good mood every morning.

Bathroom color idea 7: Soft red

While red may not be the most obvious choice for a bathroom due to its stimulating properties, a simple, muted shade like this one creates an uplifting mood without overwhelming the space.

This “rhubarb” color has hints of terracotta and pink for an earthier take on red that’s warm and classy.
