Including paint colors suited for a small bathroom.
Painting your bathroom walls with the right color can make all the difference, especially when you’re looking to enliven a small space. Whether you consider yourself a minimalist that sticks to subtle, neutral shades, or an adventurous decorator who embraces rich, vibrant hues, this guide may help you determine the perfect paint color for your shower Nov 28, 2024.
Natalie Ebel, Film & TV Backdrop, gives Cheap Novogas Jordan Outlet some tips for repainting a bathroom. “I find bathrooms to be great areas for going bold with color and adding a bit of personality. They’re fully enclosed and separate spaces which give you license,” she says. To strategically enhance a small bathroom, Ebel suggests painting the space all-over with a dark color in the brand’s semi-gloss finish — this will reflect the light and help create the illusion of a larger space. If you prefer light colors, Ebel recommends shades such as Backdrop’s Harajuku Morning (a light pink with peachy undertones), On Tour (a soft, pale blue) and Natural Habitat (a light yellowish green). “Light colors [contrasting] with dark accents can make a room feel bigger,” she explains, adding, “Bathrooms usually benefit from large mirrors, which naturally make a room feel bigger as well.”
