Colours are powerful. The right choice of paint colour can transform a room—making it appear larger (or smaller, for that matter!), evoking different moods, and brightening spaces that don’t have enough light.
For instance, if you think of yellow, you get a warm cheerful feel; but look at an expanse of black, and your spirits go down. White opens up spaces and lends a sense of calm, while blue is cool and tranquil. Each colour has an underlying feeling and comes with its own special personality, and with so many shades to choose from, you can easily find one that captures your heart!
Don’t forget to also take your design style into account—some colours lend themselves better to modern and minimalistic themes, while others harmonise better with classical décor. If you’re having a difficult time zeroing in on the perfect bathroom colour combinations, we’ve got some lovely ideas to get you thinking!
Whether you love bold and funky, or understated elegance is more your style, you’ll find a whole lot of bathroom colour ideas to pick from. Ready to make your choice?
Pack a Citrus Punch!
Bold colours are impactful and lay the foundation for a strong design aesthetic. In this compact industrial bathroom, tangerine walls grab attention and add funk, contrasting nicely with the white graphic tiles on the floor and walls. Note how the glossy texture on the paint shows up more vividly against the no-nonsense matte white tiling.
It’s Time to Go Green!
This shabby chic bathroom is full of character! From the classically moulded cabinetry to the vintage-style porcelain ware and ornate marble console, every element is carefully handpicked and curated to form a charming whole. And we totally love the soothing, cool variants of green that tie everything together.
Add Zest with Orange Peel
The right colours uplift your mood and can be the perfect morning-time pick-me-up! Case in point: the combination of sunshine orange, creamy whites and rattan accessories creates zesty magic in this lovely bathroom. Get your day to a running start with cheerful, delicious colours that speak to your very soul.
Go Next-Level with Pistachio Perfection
By tiling only the shower area in your bathroom, you’ll get plenty of wall space to carry out your experiments with colour! One way to get next-level colour inspiration is with pleasing pistachio. This subtle shade of green is fresh, light and cool all at the same time, and combines beautifully with wood in this pretty powder room.
Use White for Zen Inspiration
White is possibly your safest, most elegant option. This perfect neutral opens up any room, offers timeless appeal and is guaranteed to never go out of style. And if you want to liven up the starkness, it goes well with just about any accent colour in the palette!
Make Green the Hero
Green can be the superhero of any colour scheme. It refreshes and rejuvenates, adds depth and creates intrigue, and pairs well with any number of colour combos. In this spacious bathroom, the poster green wall anchors and adds vibrancy to the space, serving as the perfect backdrop to the luxuriantly large soaking tub.
Grab Eyeballs with Deep Red
In this stunning bathroom, it’s the silky red walls that make all the difference! With the elegant checkered black and white floors and old-fashioned porcelain sanitaryware, you’d expect a more muted colour palette—and the intense wine of the wall paint comes as a vibrant surprise. The heirloom Persian carpet echoes the same jewelled shades of colour; the perfect choice for this space.
Opt for Industrial Gray
Gray has become the go-to colour for designers who are looking for the perfect neutral. Here, the cement-washed walls have a rough, industrial texture—just right for someone who dares to be different and plays with minimalistic, edgy style! Gray pairs beautifully well with both warm and cool shades of the spectrum and lends itself to suit any design aesthetic.
Sprinkle a Dash of Sunshine
Breezy yellow walls elevate the vibe in this country chic bedroom, infusing it with warmth and piquant energy. The boho-inspired artwork on the wall above the tub is hand-painted and very unique, continuing into the ceiling for a touch of whimsy.
Earthy Tones to Ground Your Spaces
Designed to reconnect with the earth, sponge-finished mocha brown on the walls is rustic and retro, and adds balance and stability to this spa-style bathroom. We love the glass-encased sunken pool that’s the last word in luxury—an oasis of peace in an otherwise stressful world!
Heighten the Drama with Black
Yes, we did tell you that black can be depressing. But when it’s paired with a vibrant shade like topaz yellow, the intense contrast creates drama and evokes an air of intrigue that’s anything but bleak. If you want to get all edgy and mysterious, then black will do that for you!
Pick Pleasing Pastels
Clean, warm and soothing, pastels always make small bathrooms feel just a little bit larger. Here, white Italian marble with a hint of blush pink takes centre stage, and the lovely textured pink wall and sanitaryware make the space feel put-together and in balance.
