Your bathroom doesn't have to be just a practical space; it can actually show off some personality. By smartly using blocks of color, you can totally change the mood and make the room feel much more like you. Here are 19 straightforward ways to get started.
Aqua Mosaic Tile Creates a Refreshing Color Block
You can cover one bathroom wall with aqua mosaic tile. This delivers both color and texture. Extending the tile into the shower enclosure unifies the surfaces across the shower walls.
Floral Wallpaper Adds a Patterned Pop to the Ceiling
Apply a bold floral wallpaper to the bathroom ceiling for an unexpected pattern. This dark, busy print works best against solid dark walls and bright yellow tiles. The ceiling then pulls the eye upward.
Two-Toned Tile Walls Create a Bold Bathroom Statement
The bathroom walls are split halfway up with contrasting tile. A deep blue covers the lower half, while soft pink finishes the upper half.
Pink and Green Walls Create a Playful Color Block
You can divide bathroom walls with contrasting colors. Paint the upper portion a soft green and the lower portion a cheerful pink. This color blocking is an easy way to create a noticeable boundary.
Bold Blue Walls With Terrazzo Countertops Create a Striking Contrast
Pair deep, saturated blue walls with a speckled terrazzo countertop. Notice how the matte wall finish plays against the counter's textured, multi-toned surface.
Geometric Wall Paint Creates a Diagonal Color Block
A diagonal paint line breaks up a large wall. It separates soft coral from crisp white.
Yellow Geometric Floor Tiles Add Playful Pattern
Yellow and white geometric floor tiles bring a bold pattern to the bathroom. The interlocking triangles break up any solid color walls in the room.
Penny Tile Walls and Floors Create a Bold Geometric Block
Penny tiles create a color-blocked effect in your bathroom. The small circular tiles in contrasting red and white form a dynamic geometric pattern across the walls and floor, accentuating the tiled surfaces.
Mondrian-Inspired Tile Walls Create a Graphic Color Block
Try designing your bathroom walls with a geometric pattern. Small mosaic tiles in red, blue, and white create a look reminiscent of iconic art.
Recessed Shelves Break Up Tiled Walls
This offers a built-in spot for toiletries. An orange mosaic tile wall holds three cubbies, one of which is taller than the others, for bottles and jars.
Bold Color Block Shower Curtain Adds Dramatic Flair
A shower curtain divided into large, contrasting color blocks of black, orange, and blue introduces a dramatic element to the bathroom. This modern, graphic design brings personality to the space, drawing attention to its fabric.
Two-Tone Shower Curtain Adds a Soft Color Block
To add color, pick a shower curtain with two distinct blocks. The design features a sheer top that transitions into a solid pink lower half.
Honeycomb Tile Walls Create a Sunny Color Block
Tile your bathroom walls with bright yellow honeycomb tiles. The glossy, hexagonal pattern reflects light across the space.
Bold Stripe and Color Block Walls Define Zones
Visually separate bathroom areas by painting the walls in distinct horizontal bands of color. A bright yellow section on the lower half grounds the space. Above it, a lighter gray takes over, separated by a thin hot pink stripe.
Two-Tone Wainscoting Creates a Dramatic Color Block
Deep forest green wainscoting divides the lower half of the walls. Above this, soft blush pink covers the upper half.
Three-Tone Tile Creates a Bold Bathtub Base
Tile the bathtub surround in horizontal bands of color. Warm terracotta forms the base, topped by pale blue. A lighter blue tile then finishes the surround, matching the walls.
Floating Vanity With Two-Tone Walls Creates a Playful Block
When breaking up wall color into distinct blocks, choose a vanity that does the work. A floating soft pink unit complements the coral and pale green tones on the walls.
Floating Coral Vanity With Double Sinks Adds a Bold Pop
A floating vanity in a bright coral hue creates a striking visual contrast against cool blue tiled walls. The coral adds a splash of color.
Clear Shower Liner With Pink Water Adds a Dramatic Color Block
A clear shower liner lets you create a color block using vibrantly colored water in the bathtub. This technique can be a playful and unexpected touch. It works best when the water's color can be seen clearly against surrounding tile and fixtures.
