Over the years, having white as the motif for the fixtures in your bathroom has always been a classic. Freshen up their look by knowing how to match them with different colors other than white.
Even though several manufacturers have now started producing fixtures (like toilets, tubs and the like) that are utterly to die for, having colors that are intense and vivid, white still tops the list as far as popularity goes.
Having white as the color of the fixtures in you bath gives a fresh, neat and cozy look for your bathroom. You can then choose a paint color that is darker, like a metallic blue perhaps. You can use that as a stylish backdrop which you can then accent with colorful objects like bathroom hooks for example.
If you are the type of person that applies makeup in your bath, choose a color that would compliment your skin like that of peach or tones like pink perhaps. Terra cotta is also a good choice. Avoid using gray on colors that are a bit deeper like that of yellow green.
There are other colors that are a little on the dark side that work pretty wall with bathrooms regardless of the size. If you have a small bathroom, do not attempt to conceal its size. Work with it and bring out its full potential. Paint the ceiling the same color as that of the walls. Turn the room into something exceptional or unique.
For the flooring, stone comes out on top of the list in terms of popularity. Now since the material that is used for the floor is usually more noticeable and flamboyant than a tub that is colored white, you should always take into consideration the shade are using for the underfoot in picking out the color for your walls.
However, the colors don’t necessarily have to be matched precisely. Once you attempt to precisely match wood with another material of the natural kind like that of stone, they are bound to down play each other’s appeal and by doing so, it abolishes the impact. What you can do is choose a secondary color of the same shade not far from your primary natural color. This would give off a coordinate and unified yet colorful effect.
You can also integrate plants as décor in your bathroom. The color of this paint will enable you to fuse the two types of the color green, natural and manmade, together. However, bear in mind that natural colors are not limited to shade of green and hues of tan only. Colors of the different flowers around you are also considered natural colors.
A bathtub having a surround made up of marble just constitutes pure elegance. Draw more attention towards them and bring out their natural essence by using paint colors. Gray veining for the surround is quite popular among many baths when we talk about marble tubs. Enhance the stone’s real essence by choosing the color violet, the deep shade at that, for the paint. Similar to the color gray that is found in the marble, purple exudes a feeling of calmness, which is why using a deeper shade initiates a visual appeal to the sight.
On the other hand, if you’d rather play of the coolness that is brought about by the marble, you can use green with an undertone that is colored yellow to inject some warmth in to it. The color blue is just as effective. There are also some colors that are neither cool nor warm but a little in between. You can use these colors to connect the gap between cool and warm.
Moving on to vanities, it has become a trend nowadays to replicate the “furniture” setting in ones bath. Vanities are made up of cabinets that are of the antique kind. Same goes for dressers, both of which are then modified for sinks. New creations are also made to achieve the furniture-style look. Having this kind of vanity in your bath gives a big impact since it brings so much bearing into the room. If you are planning to have one, it should be made part of the color scheme that you are going for.
Finally, if the theme that you are going for is that of a specific period in time, ensure that you use the colors that were popular during that time as well as the kinds if finishes. For instance, be careful that you don’t get confused and mix a Victorian theme with colors prevalent in the 21st century like for example a trendy blue or perhaps the color of sherbet. Rather, choose sage green or anything that screams Victorian like raspberry.
