Move over white, blue has become the new favorite color in bathroom remodeling. It has probably become popular, in part, because it is such a soothing hue. It reminds us of the sea and exotic places we’ve visited and enjoyed. Why not bring that vacation or spa vibe to your bathroom renovation?
Navy Blue And Gold Are A Winning Combination
For a more dramatic effect, pick a dark royal or navy blue — just be aware that darker blues can make a room appear smaller, so you’ll want plenty of light in the space to offset this, or use it sparingly as an accent color. Pairing blue with shades of white or gray will give you a cool, contemporary look. For a warmer feel, try incorporating sandy beige and tan. And, for a little pizzazz use gold faucets, mirrors and knobs.
Blue Gray For A Soothing Bath
Bluish gray is fresh and works with any design style from modern to traditional. Blue gray colors work particularly well in bathrooms because they are soft, soothing and relaxing. Because it is a neutral color it easily pairs with gold, brass, nickel and chrome.
Take Me To The Islands
If you want to incorporate coastal beauty into your bathroom renovation, you will need to use blue with a little bit of green. An aqua color will give your bathroom a beachy feel. Brass and gold touches will make it light and fun. If you use matte black accents you will create a modern look.
