Top Bathroom Colors: How to Choose the Right Shade for Your Style

A great bathroom color scheme reflects your personality and works with your lighting to create a welcoming space. Before facing the overwhelming array of options at your local paint store, it’s helpful to consider a few key factors first. The following insights will help you confidently choose the right bathroom color for you:

1. Ask Questions: Imagine how you want your bathroom to feel, and start by asking yourself some questions. Do you enjoy bright, energetic spaces, or do you like a calming neutrals? Let those answers guide your color choices. If you love bright, energetic spaces, consider bold or playful tones. For a more peaceful retreat, subtle shades work well. If you’d like the flexibility to change things up later, stick with neutrals on the walls and main fixtures, and bring in color through towels, rugs, and accessories. Let your style guide you.
2. Explore Design Styles: Color compliments design. Exploring design styles can help guide your color choices.
   • Modern bathrooms often feature muted greys, bright whites, and matte or brushed black finishes, accented with brass hardware for a refined edge.
   • Industrial designs embrace vibrant, deep hues like charcoal, rust, and bronze, set against exposed metal or textured walls.
   • Farmhouse and rustic spaces feel inviting with earthy tones, sage greens, taupes, and beige, paired with warm wood elements.
   • Mid-century and Art Deco styles bring rich color into play. Picture deep blue, emerald green, and mustard yellow paired with bold geometric flair.
   • Boho and organic bathrooms thrive on dusty blue, terracotta, and blush pink, balanced by woven textures and natural wood finishes.
3. Balance Neutrals and Bold Shades: Wondering if you should go bold or stay subtle? You can easily mix the two. Neutral palettes such as greige (a color that combines gray and beige), creamy white, or taupe offer a calm, spa-inspired foundation for your design. Want something more striking? Try a statement wall in navy, charcoal, or deep red. For a balanced look, start with understated walls and layer in colorful tile, artwork, or textiles to bring energy into the room.
4. Consider Size and Lighting: Color behaves differently depending on your bathroom’s lighting and size. Pastels and whites can make a small bathroom feel bigger. Large bathrooms can handle more vibrant shades. Pro tip: Test your bathroom color swatches in both natural and artificial light to see how they shift throughout the day.
