You are in the middle of a renovation and you want to repaint your bathroom. You have already chosen the type of paint you are going to apply and on the tiles , but you are hesitating about another aspect: the color and the finish to achieve the best possible decoration.
At Algo, we distinguish between two types of paint for your decor: neutral colors such as beige, white, and gray, or colors that we would describe as more daring, such as the other shades in the color chart.
If we stick to paint colors, these have their own characteristics, hence the importance of the choice of color in bathrooms: they can influence the mood, the perception of space and the atmosphere of the room.
Trends and different decorative elements, such as furniture, also play a role in the choice of colors you will apply in your bathroom, as do potential color combinations.
For all these reasons, we offer you an overview of current trends and colors that we consider ideal for decorating your bathroom!
The impact of colors on the perception of the room
The type of color for bathroom
It is often said, and rightly so, that tastes and colors are not discussed: we confirm that in the choice of colors there is always an element of subjectivity and bathrooms are no exception to the rule when it comes to working on the design and style of your room. Perhaps you don't know it yet, but colors have a real influence on our daily mood.
A bathroom is, above all, a search for well-being and relaxation. As such, blue and sea green are two colors that fit perfectly into this setting.
Energizing your space may also be one of your goals. Here again, we have everything you need: yellow or terracotta will be true identity markers for your bathroom.
For those who want a more contemporary and modern look, black (in small touches) or gray are colors that will lend themselves to elegance in your bathroom.
The effect of color on the bathroom
The bathroom is one of the smallest rooms in your home, which is why choosing the right color is crucial for enhancing your bathroom and creating the perfect ambiance. Another aspect is that the potential absence of windows in some bathrooms will also play a role in determining the color you choose for your walls.
Limited lighting due to the lack of daylight and the narrow appearance may therefore force you to choose a softer, neutral shade to try to enlarge the room.
The choice of color as part of a renovation must also take into account the current decoration such as the sink, accessories, tiles and other elements specific to the room, particularly your bathroom.
Another important point: matte should be avoided in bathrooms because of its effect, which does not allow light to be reflected properly in your interior space.
Our selection of trendy shades
Neutral shades
White is arguably the most commonly used color in an interior, and for good reason: it's a neutral shade that's guaranteed to maximize the feeling of space and make the room appear larger. Above all, it's the most timeless color there is.
Beyond this perspective, this leaves the field open in terms of decoration to associate several shades together, since white goes with almost any color.
You can also choose to use a beige or light gray. Black adds a designer touch to your bathroom.
Soft shades
These are colors that we consider conventional and perfectly usable in a room, such as green or blue. Special mention goes to sea green, which is particularly trendy right now and perfectly matches the atmosphere that a bathroom can create.
Pale blues are the ones we will mainly recommend: firstly because they will bring a feeling of freshness and cleanliness, but also because the soft appearance will optimize the lighting of the bathroom.
So, you'll want to consider using this type of color on your walls. Using certain shades of green is also highly recommended in a bathroom: we're thinking primarily of soft green, which is a very pleasant color for a bathroom.
Pink can also be used on a wall to add a trendy touch and a bolder look. Powder pink, for example, is a shade that will work perfectly if applied sparingly. Conversely, soft pink is our softest shade.
Bright colors
If you are looking for ideas and inspiration on what trends to adopt, then we can advise you on some colors that can be applied in a bathroom.
Before you begin, you'll be advised to choose only one wall section, as choosing a bright shade can visually saturate the space. Using a bright shade will create a very personal ambiance, but it's important to maintain a cohesive decor.
Don't hesitate to combine the use of a bright color with white: on the one hand to enhance the strong color, but also to bring a nuance to the room.
The use of red or terracotta may be permissible in some bathrooms. This color will look interesting in a sufficiently large bathroom with adequate lighting. Black is also a color that can be used in small touches. Black is known for its refined and elegant effect.
Consider painting your furniture
You can stand out by painting your wooden furniture: to this end, painting your wooden bathroom furniture is another way to add a decorative touch to meet the constraints of the shower, the sink or simply the plan of the room.
For example, you can paint a vanity unit, or simply any wooden furniture that could make your daily shower more cheerful.
Superbloom yellow is a sunny color that will stand out and give you the feeling of a unique bathroom, which you can combine with neutral colors like a warm white or a pampas beige for example.
Accessories or a modern mirror can also complement your decor and add a touch of elegance. Pinterest can be very useful for ideas.
