We are hoping that with a simple change of color in our bathroom it will look fresh and updated. We want to create a specific mood or feeling that fits our family’s personality. There are so many bathroom color ideas to choose from finding the perfect color palette can be a bit overwhelming.
Find Bathroom Color Ideas Online
We have started by looking online at different bathroom color ideas and painting techniques such as glazing, texturing or faux effects. There are great DIY sites such as Better Homes & Gardens, HGTV, Behr and Sherwin Williams that offer tips and techniques to creating the perfect color pallet that will go with our home.
At a couple of these sites you can upload a picture of your bathroom or choose one of their bathroom layouts that is close to yours and play with color options to see what fits your personal style. Do you like bold and daring colors or would you prefer soft, subtle colors? Bathroom shower designs that have utilized lighter tiles could be enhanced with a darker color pallet.
After considering your personality choose a bathroom theme such as spa retreat, garden theme, a bath for him or a bath just for her. You must also be aware of the size bathroom you are painting. A rule of thumb is that lighter colors can make a small space appear larger. But don’t limit yourself, if you enjoy bold, dark colors go for it!
Remember your home is your sanctuary. To evoke a feeling of relaxation consider colors of the land and sea such as pale cucumber, warm cocoa and pale blue or aqua.
Also consider the architecture of your home. If you have a small cottage style home choose a two-tone wall scheme of creamy off-white and dark cocoa for a classic, antique look. This will enhance the cozy, warm and inviting feel. A modern home with sleek design may want to utilize dark cool colors.
If you are looking for floor-to-ceiling style consider searching through the color schemes offered at these online sites. Your local home improvement center will also have color pallets to choose from that will compliment your personality and home design. Their bathroom color ideas have been selected and arranged by professional designers.
