Bathroom redecorating is an opportunity to make the space your own, whether selecting new fixtures or repainting the walls. However, deciding on a new color scheme can be a challenge. Consider the following residential painting tips to figure out which color combinations will work best in your home.

5 Residential Painting Tips for the Bathroom

1. Look At Popular Trends

If you’re unsure of where to start, begin by looking through a selection of this year’s design magazines and blogs. Lists of paint color trends are also easy to find online. Browsing through colors that designers and homeowners favor can serve as inspiration.     

2. Bring Paint Samples Home

Although you could pick a color or color scheme in the store, take a few swatches home. Tape them to the wall, and then take a step back. Look at the swatches under different lighting conditions to avoid the possibility of choosing a color that looks off when the light source changes.

3. Choose More Than One Color

A single color may give your bathroom a washed-out appearance. Instead, find a range of colors that complement each other to give the room dimension. If you choose a neutral tone, a richly saturated  hue, and an accent color, your repainted bathroom will have style and impact.

4. Consider the Entire Room

Examine your bathroom in its entirety. Look at fixtures, the floor, and tiling to narrow your color focus. You should choose colors that enhance the aesthetics of the whole room, not just the ceiling and walls.

5. Balance Walls & Trims

White is a common neutral for bathroom trims. It a natural complement for almost any color. Choosing white for doors and window frames will give a small room a brighter feel. A fresh coat of paint on your walls and ceilings will look best if the trim elements are also painted anew.
