Colorful Bathrooms

Trendy Treatment

A color-block paint treatment in this bathroom adds dimension and of-the-moment flair. The upper half of each wall was painted with a warm off-white tone, while the lower portion was given a shade of deep blue-gray. A blue-and-white patterned shower curtain surrounding the claw-foot tub ties the whole look together.

Crushing on Coral

For a high-impact space, go all out with pattern and color in a small bathroom. Graphic coral wallpaper covers the walls in this petite powder room to supply a burst of bright color. Pretty brass accents, including a towel bar, mirror frame, and faucet, sparkle against the shade of pink.

Beautiful in Blue

There are many ways to get colorful bathroom decor. Proving that color doesn't always have to appear as paint on the walls, this bath features a powder blue double vanity and tiled open shower and half-wall. The soft color is countered by a sleek gray slate-tile floor.

Fresh Florals

Colorful wallpaper can take a bathroom from blah to brilliant. This vibrant floral print features kiwi and purple hues, proving opposites attract and creating maximum contrast that's not for the fainthearted. The colorful bathroom wallpaper adds a playful accent to a green painted vanity and mirror.

Deep Red

Rich red is not the typical bathroom color idea, but when used correctly the hue can exude style and pizzazz. Here, a wall of tiny red mosaic tiles adds colorful character to this nearly all-white modern-style bathroom. The tile not only adds a splash of needed color, but it also reflects light streaming in from the large window nearby.
