Décor is the
most exciting part of giving your bathroom a makeover simply due to the fact
that you have full responsibility of colours and a theme. Being creative is an
understatement, you want to be able to boast to the world about your unique
designs.
Essentially,
it all comes down to colour; what mood do you want to create? What image of
yourself, your home, your life do you want to project to others? Consider your
bathroom as a blank canvas – here are some creative colour schemes to get you
thinking.
A hue of
blue and mellow yellow
No doubt the
first image that springs to mind with blue and yellow are the lush golden
beaches of the Caribbean that stretch as far as the eye can see, gently lapped
by enticing blue waves.
Sandy-coloured
floorboards or a sheet of golden vinyl give way to blue tiles creeping up the
wall before transforming into lighter paint shades for the sky. It’s calm,
relaxing and creates that perfect setting that holiday brochures desperately
strive to achieve.
This retro
feel brings together two unusually matched colours that complement each other
with the soft, pastel lilac balancing out the striking vibrant shades of
lime.
You may find
lime toilets and basins hard to come by, but that doesn’t stop you applying the
lesser popular colours to the bathroom walls and ceiling. A modern 3-to-1 wall
paint job in favour of lilac with lilac patterned on the lime wall maintains the
vintage feel with being too overbalanced.
Orange
fades & shades
Peachy orange
is a popular choice for bathrooms, but you can take this further and enhance all
the oranges under the sun to create a bathroom of many colours, from just one
colour.
Orange tiles,
particularly smaller options that run alongside a bath, represent a batch of
delicately crafted terracotta ceramics while spotlights beaming down onto light
orange paintwork and finishes at night create a peaceful sunset glow. Even some
wooden bathroom furniture can be perceived as dark orange shades.
Cream,
green & all to be seen
Not quite the
vibrant lime as before, but a pleasant leafy green to accompany a slightly
off-white cream, mirroring sunlight seeping between rainforest canopies alive
with the sound of splashing water in your bathroom.
Cream walls
are especially brought to life with a creative method of stencilled leaf
patterns and colourful tropical petals. There will be no plain wall space that
makes the room feel bare, instead a botanical design unique to your bathroom
only.
