The bathroom is the room in the house that is often overlooked when it comes to adding colour, but colour is the perfect way to refresh the room and make it look newer. To help add new life to your room, here are 5 ways to incorporate colour into your bathroom.  

Add an Accent Wall

One of the fastest and simplest ways to add a touch of colour to your bathroom is to choose one wall, and paint it a different colour than the rest. According to the Huffington Post, research has shown that hues of blue, yellow, and light green are psychologically calming, making them the perfect colours to use for your bathroom oasis.

Choose Colourful Accessories

If your bathroom is a darker colour, adding bright, colourful accessories like bath mats, towels, and soap dispensers can create a bold statement. The darker coloured walls and floors will make your bright coloured accessories stand out, making the room feel less gloomy.

Add Some Art

For the bathroom with lots of wall space, adding a colourful piece of art will not only brighten up the room, but it will also act as a focal point, and draw attention. Choosing something that stands out against the walls and floor will make it so that even an out-of-date bathroom can be refreshed by adding a modern piece of art to the decor.

Choose Coloured Furniture

The idea of introducing colour to your bathroom is a great way to brighten it up, but you don’t want to overdo it. When selecting furnishings for your bathroom, choose one or two pieces that are a complimentary colour to your plan, and stick with it. Whether it is a colourful vanity, or a bathroom bench, choosing one or two pieces that are bright can bring some colour into your bathroom without going overboard.

Get a Different Tub or Sink

Traditionally, sinks and tubs have been known for their white or off white colouring. In the latest trends, however, more colour options are becoming popular, with matching sets to add a cheerful touch to your bathroom. Choosing a coloured tub and sink is the perfect way to add some colour to a plain white or dark coloured bathroom.

Adding colour to your bathroom can make it more inviting, calming, or cheerful, and it is as easy as choosing a colour scheme and using these tips to make it happen! For more ideas on how to add colour to your bathroom, visit the Falconcrest Homes Blog.
