1. STEER CLEAR OF BRIGHT WHITES AND TRY WARM WHITES INSTEAD
More and more, we're viewing our bathrooms as spaces where we can inject a bit of personality. No longer are they bright, gleaming white bathrooms. These are extensions of our living spaces and we want them to feel welcoming, warming and even cozy.
2. KEEP AWAY FROM RED, BUT TRY BROWN
Red is a tricky tone and doesn't work in many rooms, owing to its inherent boldness. It's certainly falling out of favor throughout the home, but in the bathroom, it is especially off-putting as the qualities of the shade mean it's not a particularly relaxing color for a bathroom.
3. FORGET GREY AND WARM UP WITH LAYERED NEUTRALS
Grey bathrooms are also proving less popular with designers and homeowners. The color is going out of style in every room because it's cold, and gloomy and has an air of formality about it. 'Instead of grey, opt for a more warm version of grey, which we commonly refer to as 'greige', says Amy.
4. AVOID YELLOW AND EMBRACE NATURE WITH PALE GREEN HUES
If you want to go for a colorful bathroom, yellow is a reliably joyful shade. It brings a bit of a farmhouse aesthetic to the space, but we're noticing a move away from bright yellows as a go-to shade for bathroom paint.
5. ABSTAIN FROM TAN OVERLOAD AND GO FOR PALE PINK INSTEAD
While neutrals can be your best friend to help warm up a bathroom, be careful not to go into beige and tan overload. 'While a neutral color scheme can be timeless, an overabundance of beige and tan can make a bathroom look dull and uninspired,' says interior designer Nina Magon.
