Decorating Advice and Paint Colors

Paint colors for bathrooms allow you to decorate inexpensively and easily. Your room probably doesn’t have a lot of space for decor but you don’t just want to leave it plain.  This is where paint comes onto the scene as the superhero. It can create a relaxing space in your master bathroom or a fun space for a kids’ room. Here are a few tips for choosing paint colors for bathrooms.

Go for a spa like feel.  This is perfect for smaller spaces because there are a lot of neutral colors. It will really compliment any natural stone or tile that you already have in your room. A spa like feel would have white, taupe or a very pale green on the walls.  You could also get away with a gray paint as long as it isn’t too dark.  This would give the room more of a Zen feeling to it.  Then you can just add in an accent color as long as it’s natural like a green or brown.  This gives interest to the room and you can accomplish it easily just by changing out your towels and rugs.

Pick a wood tone.  This can be either paint or stain. For a country cottage feel you could paint all of the wood in the room a cream color.  If modern is your thing then try updating your vanity with black paint. You can also go for an elegant or Tuscan theme by accenting a subtle paint color with a rich wood stain like mahogany or espresso.

Pick a color that feels fresh.  You might just want your bathroom to feel simple or clean.  Cool colors like lavender, blue and green are perfect for this situation. These cool colors are said to make a room recede a little so they are perfect for smaller rooms.

Use paint as a way to update your room. Changing out tiles and fixtures is one of the most expensive remodeling projects out there.  This is one of the reasons why kitchens and bathrooms are the most expensive rooms to remodel. You might be holding off on painting until you can come up with the tens of thousands of dollars needed to redo your room.  However, paint just costs a few dollars and it can change how you feel about your room in the meantime.  Find a color that compliments the existing tile so you can still be happy with your home for a few years until you can undertake the renovation.

Paint colors for bathrooms transform the feeling of your space. You can totally fall in love all over again with that claw foot tub just by changing out your wall color. This is one of the first rooms you see in the morning and the last ones you see at night so make sure it makes a good impression on you.
