Whats a great colour of paint for my bathroom?

Question

Im painting it on Sat. But im stumped on a colour?!

The bottom of the wall is wooden, so the colour would need to go well with brown.

Answer 1

turquoise is a lovely colour :)

you could paint the wood white to make it look really fresh

Answer 2

White and blues are good colours for bathrooms. The white looks clean and fresh and the blue gives a sense of water. I personally would go with white due to the brown wood. White is fresh clean and timeless. If you want something different try green or yellow also fresh colours!



Have fun!!

Answer 3

you could paint the wood a light blue then white on the walls above.



if you cant paint the wood go for a cream colour to lighten the room a bit.

Answer 4

Smaller rooms should be a lighter color... but nothing too bright or it will be overwhelming.



I think a cool color would be a slate blue with chocolate brown accents.



Then do all the accessories in silver/pewter to make the room have a contemporary pop. Will look very expensive if you do that.

Answer 5

play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to find something that you like. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:

I think a light color like "sands of time" (# 6101) would look great.



You can also take a photo of your room & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:

You can get color suggestions & they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

Answer 6

go neutral. like a cream or a lighter brownish colour

Answer 7

Red - loads of different colour red - lovely!

Answer 8

have a cream colour

Answer 9

I like light aqua or sky blue with brown. Then find towels that bring it all together.

If you use a shower curtain in that bathroom, find one you like first and choose an accent color from it to paint the walls.

Here are a few I like:
