Bathroom colour schemes – create tranquil retreats and standout schemes

Bathroom colour schemes can be hard to decide on – after all, whether you've got a spacious bathroom complete with roll-top bath, or a more compact shower room, picking colours that you love and that set the right sort of ambience is key to making it a room you enjoy using. Of course, there's plenty of bathrooms out there, but colours come and go so make sure it's a shade you're not likely to go off of in a month's time.

Decide what feel you'd like your room to have – do you want it to be energising with hits of bright colours to make you feel awake and give you a great start to the day? Perhaps you'd prefer something more relaxing or luxurious, with a scheme that invites you to run a bath and shut the world out of an evening? This is the time to research some bathroom colour ideas and bathroom paint ideas.
