Choosing the right colour palette for your bathroom is a critical step to creating a space that seems inviting, and functional and reflects your personal style. The right colours can turn your bathroom from a common space into a serene retreat, a bold statement or a timeless classic. Whether you renovate or quickly update your bathroom, here is a guide to selecting the perfect colour palette for your bathroom.

1. Start with your goal in mind

Before choosing a single colour, think about the mood you want to create in your bathroom. Do you want it to look soothing, luxurious, energizing or modern? Light and neutral tones are perfect for a spa-like vibration, while rich jewellery tones can add sophistication and drama. Bright and fun colours energize the space, while the darkest shades create intimacy and warmth.

2. Consider the size of the space

The size of your bathroom plays a big role in colour selection. Light and airy colours, such as white, pastels and neutral soft, can make small bathrooms look more open and spacious. On the other hand, if you have a large bathroom, you can try darker and richer tones to add heat and depth without making the space tight.

3. Focus on neutral foundations

A neutral base is a great starting point. White, beige, grey or greige (a mixture of gray and beige) provides a clean, timeless base that can be combined with almost any highlight. Neutrals also allow accessories such as taps, vanities and tiles to stand out without competing for their attention.

4. Add a prominent colour

After choosing a neutral base, add a prominent colour to bring personality to your bathroom. Blues and vegetables are popular for their calming effect, while flushed pink and hot terracottas add softness and heat. 

5. Think of lighting

Lighting greatly affects how colours appear in your bathroom. Natural light improves the lighter tones and makes them shine, while artificial lighting can make the colours look warmer or colder, depending on the lamp. Test the colour palette chosen under different lighting conditions before commitment.

6. Coordinate with accessories and materials

Your colour palette should harmonize with existing materials such as tiles, benches and cabinets. For example, if you have cold tiles, combine them with complementary cool tones, such as soft blues or grey. If you have wood or bronze accessories in hot tones, choose colours with hot tones like cream or taupe.

7. Don't complicate too much

A good rule is to maintain three main colours: a dominant colour (walls), a secondary colour (tiles or vanity) and a prominent colour (decoration or towels). This keeps the cohesive and balanced space.

Final word

A carefully chosen colour palette turns your bathroom into a beautiful and functional space. By considering mood, size and materials, you can create a room that perfectly reflects your style and needs.
