Bathroom designs are usually more challenging for homeowners to visualise. To most people, the bathroom is perceived as a less significant place in their house, and they pay less attention to its interior design. However, choosing the perfect colour schemes for your bathroom can make a whole lot of difference to your experience (as well as your guests’). 

Let’s jump straight into our top 10 picks of colour schemes for bathrooms! 

Cream and White 

For people who prefer the minimalist and clean look, cream and white are good colour schemes to keep your palette neutral. The sleekness and purity of the colours can not only make your bathroom look bright, but also fresh and clean. If you like this scheme, you can consider using wooden-framed mirrors as well to add more depth and colour.

White

White is arguably the most versatile colour and can be used anywhere, even in the bathroom. This colour is especially suitable if you are intending to add patterns, mosaics or tiles in your bathroom for an old-school vintage look. White marble is a popular choice!

Gray Tones

Whether it’s dark or light, gray as a colour can reflect a refined, sophisticated taste. If you go with this colour scheme, you can play around with various textures of shades in the same colour as well. Gray is also good at keeping potentially dirtier, wetter areas clean as compared to lighter colours. With gray tones, you can consider using gold fixtures and accents for better contrast. 

Pale Blue and White

We all know how serene the colour blue can be. When combined with white, this pair can brighten up the entire toilet and add a great deal of vibrancy! If this isn’t your cup of tea, try coastal blue and white! The combination resembles the seaside and could carry some ethereal vibes as well.

Salmon Pink and Coral 

Before you go “oh, so girly”, hear us out. The coral colour strikes the perfect balance between classy and edgy, offering a softer touch to a bold palette. If you use pink shades, you can install gold accents as well to create a contemporary look!

Sage Green and White

It seems to us that sage green is back in trend! One of those colour schemes that was popularly used in the 20th century, sage green is a timeless vintage. Make your bathroom look like a modern retro film with this scheme!

Royal Blue and White 

This is the excellent combo for anyone looking to upgrade their bathroom into a luxe, hotel-worthy Instagrammable spot! You can substitute royal blue with other dark blue colours and still create a striking contrast with whites. 

Black and White 

Ah, the epitome of monotone. This classic colour scheme works well for any bathroom – big or small – and can create different vibes. Whether you are into the industrial or the classy, black and white go well with anything! They are also the safest option if you’d like some contrast.

Brown

Probably the most unconventional colour scheme you’d imagine in a bathroom, but trust us on this! Brown tones fit into the neutral, earthy palette, and yet can also look minimalist and expansive. The rawness of the colour can be explored more, and is perfect for homeowners looking to recreate the MUJI bathroom look. 

Cream and Gold 

For exquisite tastes, cream and gold go well together to make your bathroom look like a 6-star hotel’s. Play around with metallics for a luxurious and gorgeous final look!
