Your bathroom is a place where
you can really let your imagination take hold and create a uniquely relaxing
ambiance within your home. However, bathrooms can be difficult to decorate,
because some portions, such as tile on the walls and floor, can be difficult
or very expensive to replace. Here are some tips for choosing a color
scheme for your bathroom that will achieve the look you want while building
on your preexisting color schemes.

If You Have Patterned Tiles
Whether you have inherited a bathroom
with patterned tiles or you want to refresh a room that you decorated in the
past, a profusion of colors in the tiles can make it tricky to find
complementary curtains, shower curtains, and other accents. A good tip is to
take three colors from the preexisting patterns and use them for your decorating
theme. The background color, a mid-toned color, and the brightest color in the
pattern are good choices.
Use the background color for large
areas such as your wall paint or shower curtains. Highlight the mid-tone color
in your bathmats and curtains. Finally, use the bright color for accent pieces
like wall hangings, decorative candles, and bath towels. Make sure to repeat
the colors throughout the room.

If You Have Colored Tiles
If your tiles are a solid color,
look for fabrics that blend that color with complimentary hues. For
example, the navy of your tiles could be picked up in a floral fabric with a
navy blue background or a red, white, and navy checkered pattern. Use the
other colors in the fabric for inspiration, as described above. Use the
fabric itself for curtains, lampshades, and other decorative touches to pull
the look of the room together. |
If You Have White or Neutral Tiles
Neutral shades are very popular in a
bathroom because they match nearly any style of décor. Consider a Zen-style
bathroom, which combines light and dark tones with natural accents like green
plants or stone sculptures. Use bright tones, such as plush red towels or
bright orange floral wall hangings, to add color and interest to the room.
