When it's time to choose a paint colour, the process can seem time-consuming. The type of lighting, cold tones versus warm, will the colour be too dark once it fully dries? All these questions could end up giving you a headache.
When it comes to your bathroom, it can be normal to lack inspiration when you have to choose your colour palette. Even with a larger space, ideas may run short when you think about styling your bathroom versus other rooms like the kitchen. However, it is not impossible to create a stylish and fashionable space that will amaze all your guests!

Might as well start this list with an essential: the timeless white paint colour. Perfect for smaller spaces or to brighten up the room, white is a safe option for you.
Instead of opting for colder tones (perfect for a room with natural light), a warmer tone can complement smaller spaces that are darker than normal. Some examples are colours like beige, chamois or linen.
2. Pastel blue/blue-grey

As much as it is hard to imagine a room that is completely yellow, a pastel hue could help soften the space. This colour is perfect to mix with warm tones of white and golden accessories as a finishing touch.
6. Peach/Blush

In the same family as yellow, a delicate pink invokes comfort and tenderness, while adding a touch of colour. Perfect for pairing with cooler white tones and golden accessories to embellish the final look.

If you want to compromise between white paint and a touch of colour, taupe is a good option that is both interesting and not too eye-catching. Discrete, this shade can easily go with porcelain accessories in your bathroom.
9. Grey

Either darker or ashy, pairing grey with white can create a strong contrast in your bathroom. Indeed, if you have mouldings around your room, you could create a trimming effect by painting them white or by simply leaving the ceiling as is.
10. Black/Charcoal

Yes, you read right! Black is part of the game and is having a powerful comeback. Its advantage is that it is perfect to pair with more minimalist accessories or statement pieces, like a white sink or geometric black and white tiles. To add some texture, use black on wood or brick.
It is, however, preferable to opt for this colour if you have a large window in the room. Otherwise, make sure your light source is of a cooler tone.
