You could use a cream-colored tile, with a darker shade of taupe or beige for the walls. Then place a wooden vanity. Designing your bathroom like this creates complementary shades and mixes materials to add layers and texture to the room.

Try to use pastels and lighter undertones for your neutrals. If you go too dark or use colors with darker undertones, you risk the bathroom looking dingy and dark—that’s the exact opposite effect of what you should want. Another way to prevent this is by adding plenty of light to the bathroom. Light will keep it bright and fresh.

9. White Bathroom Color Ideas

White is the color of purity and serenity. Having an all-white bathroom should create a feeling of simplicity, cleanliness, and timelessness. But not all white bathrooms are the same. There is more than one shade of white, and you need to choose the right white for your bathroom.

You can start with a pure white tile, such as subway variety. Then choose a white that appeals to your sense of aesthetic and taste. It can help to keep in mind your overall design goals. A modern bathroom could look better with a crisp cool white, while a farmhouse all-white bathroom could look nice with a softer and warmer white.

Even if everything in the bathroom is white, your lighting and plumbing hardware will add color. For a cooler feel to the bathroom, choose a chrome, silver, or brushed nickel. To give the bathroom a sense of warmth, choose gold or brass.

Finally, don’t let your bathroom become too monochromatic or sterile. Add texture to the bathroom through the materials. They can include linen curtains, plush soft towels, white stone, a large mirror frame, or crown molding.

10. Light Color Bathroom Color Ideas

A light color palette of pastels will give your bathroom a soft and feminine vibe. You could use pastel pink or blue with a mix of vintage furniture and sparkly glam for a modern take on French Country. Or you could choose minimalist pieces in a pastel yellow or mint green for a truly modern bathroom.
