So it will better to go with colour contrast with bright and light shades or restricting the use of bright colours. In small bathroom, be innovative when colouring the wall. Remember even a tough of bright colour will stand apart making a bold statement with its presence. If the bathroom is of comparatively large size, the choice of colour combination could be bright and bold without any fear or apprehensions.

1. Bold and beautiful colour combination in the bathroom

Show your love for colour to make your bathroom attractive and impressive. Blend the familiar colour combination or invent a bold colour combination; make sure that you make a statement with it. Be inventive and try the brave combination of blue with orange or green or balance the boldness of red with subtle shade of white, or make it shine in sunshine yellow; whatever you choose just remember to be brave in selecting the colours. Colours make a huge visual impact in the space and bring in fresh and vibrant energy into the room.

3. Combining it right with shape of the bathroom

Shape does matter when it comes to colouring it with your dream colour combination. When the shape of the bathroom is regular with sharp lines and angles in square or rectangular shape, you can opt for colour combination or select a single bold shade to give it depth and create a visual effect or illusion of spaciousness depending on the size of the bathroom. But if the shape of the bathroom is curvy, make it look and feel soft and feminine with soft colours to complement its shape. Pink, purple, light green or slightly darker version of any pastel shades will look great here.

4. Sanitary and hardware fitting with the colour of the bathroom

It is not practical to change the entire sanitary and hardware fitting just to go with the colour of the bathroom. Be practical and select the colour of the bathroom smartly so that the current fittings will blend with the new shade and you don’t have to change the entire bathroom. It will be a win-win solution for your bathroom.

5. Blending décor and accessories with the colour of the bathroom

Bathroom is incomplete with bathroom furniture which doubles up to become accessories that decorates the space. You may bring in colours in your bathroom through bathroom accessories or select the colours of the wall to complement the existing accessories and furniture so that you won’t have to refurbish it to match the colour of the bathroom wall.

6. Complementing the colour of bathroom through light

Colour and light are complementing! They combine together to make the space shine and bask in colours. Windows with sufficient natural light plays a pivotal role in accentuating the bright colours on the bathroom walls. Light glows up the colours giving it a refined look. Ensure that the bathroom has sufficient natural light and proper artificial light so that the colours will remain bright and vibrant all through the day.

Stray away from traditional paint on the wall and colour it in a modern way. Opt for visual effects of colourful screen and create an aesthetic impact on the wall of the bathroom. The concept is new but will give the bathroom a bold and sophisticated look.
