Ideas for Painting Your Bathroom Oasis

Your bathroom can be the ideal setting to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of the world. You can transform your bathroom into your own private oasis by painting your walls soothing colors that help you to relax and rejuvenate yourself at the end of the day. Take a look at the following ideas to turn your bathroom into your own little paradise.

Neutral Tones

When you paint your bathroom neutral tones such as beige or taupe, your eyes have an opportunity to relax. The warm color of taupe falls between browns and grays, and it is extremely versatile, as it will go with just about anything. You can paint your accents an earthy tone such as sage green or deep orange, and your bathroom oasis will be the most relaxing room in the house.  

Soft Gray

Soft gray is a cool color that soothes but has a modern twist to it. It can be lovely with neutral accents, and if you want to warm up the feel of the bathroom, you can use wood furniture or flooring. If you are looking to add color, get some bright colored accessories or towels, as gray matches just about anything from a soft pink color to bright red.

Light Blue

Painting your bathroom light blue is a great way to bring cheeriness into your bathroom. The cool color will remind you of the sky, and it is one of the most relaxing colors you can use. If you are looking for a more peaceful color, use a light blue with more of a gray base. It is just as relaxing, but in a different way. This color works well if you have white fixtures and flooring.

Pistachio Green 

The bathroom is a place where you can get creative and do what makes you happy. Pistachio green is a brighter color, and it is cheery and full of energy. If you are trying to create a bathroom that helps you to feel ready to go in the morning, this could be the color for you. You can tone it down with wood furnishings and deeper earth-toned accessories.

Light Green

Similar to light blue, light green will give the feeling of having the outdoors in your bathroom. It helps to feel more in touch with nature, and it can be very calming and relaxing. If your bathroom is very bright, this color will have a cooling effect. You can choose from brighter shades such as mint or seafoam, or shades that are more subdued. 

Chocolate

If you want to create a dramatic look in your bathroom, try a dark shade of chocolate. This color is very calming and can look fantastic if paired with the right accents. Often this color is used in spas because of its ability to promote an aura of calm. If you are lacking brighter lighting, you can use a softer shade of light brown and combine it with light blue or cream-colored accents.
