BLUE BATHROOM IDEAS AND 4 REASONS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THEM

Planning a bathroom remodel? Blue is a wonderful choice for the color scheme, and Better Homes and Gardens’ slideshow has 18 examples to prove it! Whether you’re creating a relaxing master suite, a jewel box powder room, or a fun kids bathroom, the perfect shade of blue awaits. You can choose from various degrees of blue depending on the desired effect – a blue undertone in your gray paint, a few blue accessories to add pops of color to a neutral palette, or deep blue walls for a rich, saturated effect. Here are just a few reasons to give blue another look before finalizing your color choices.

1. Blue looks amazing beside a bathroom’s glass elements.

Clear glass shower doors, glass shelving, and glass cabinet door fronts are all complemented by blue décor. One reason for choosing these transparent items is to make the bathroom feel larger. Pairing them with sky blue or a similar shade can boost the impression of spaciousness. Also, depending on the fixtures and shades you choose, the combination of blue surfaces and clear glass can evoke images of sparkling lake water, sunlit skies, or glittering sapphires. Consider making blue your color of choice for:

• shower tiles

• storage bins

• soap dispensers

• bath towels

2. Blue calls to mind some of our favorite places in nature.

The goal of many master bathroom remodels is a more calming space – a place to unwind after a hard day at work or to relax on a lazy Saturday morning. Some of the most relaxing outdoor environments are defined by blue. Aquamarine calls to mind the beach; sky blue transports us to an open meadow; while other deep blues bring to mind a day on the lake shore.

3. Many people experience blue as a calming and soothing color.

Even a quick internet search reveals that blue is considered one of the most relaxing colors. Thanks to this effect you see it used not only in various businesses but all throughout homes as well. Compilations of relaxing paint colors aren’t complete without blue offerings. Put blue’s soothing properties to work on a spa-like master bath, a farmhouse style bathroom, or a cozy guest bathroom. Many pale blue paint colors make the perfect backdrop for your bathroom furniture and fixtures.

4. Blue can be paired with many other hues.

Pair blue with your choice of many other colors to create your desired effect. Possibilities include:

• blue and white

• blue and brown

• blue and black

• blue and gold

• blue and silver

• blue and green

• blue and cream

• blue and gray

Also, the many, many variations of blue that exist open up even more possibilities for achieving exactly the look and mood you are going for.
