WHEN it comes to painting any room, what is considered a “happy colour” is, of course, subjective. However, today we are going to suggest some glorious colourful bathroom ideas.
Light and bright blue
Blue is known for its incredibly calming and uplifting qualities. It is also known for being a classic bathroom colour. However, blue is on the cooler side of the colour wheel. As such, it can appear a little too cold, especially when paired with white bathroom furniture. So, in order to get all those happy vibes blue can bring, still ensure it feels inviting. We would recommend pairing it with some warmer hues — reds, oranges, yellows and pinks.
Bathrooms are a place to relax. It is also a place that you use to make yourself look and feel good, so it is important to create an uplifting space.
Rich browns
Not all dopamine shades need to be bold and bright. If deeper, darker shades relax you and make you feel happy, bring those into your bathroom, instead. Brown may sound like an unexpected colour for a bathroom, but we promise you that colour trends all point to brown being a super chic and sophisticated shade. It is more dramatic than a beige but not as harsh as black.
Uplifting greens
Of course, greens were going to make it on this list. A green bathroom is a thing of joy and no matter what shade you go for, it is going to make you feel happy.
In its palest, most sagey form, it acts almost like a neutral, so it is the perfect colour if you want to move away from beige and cream but still keep things minimal.
Then you have deep forests, which work a bit like the brown mentioned above, surrounding you in a deep, rich but relaxing shade. Pick your green based on what makes you happy.
Joyful pinks
Pink is the big dopamine shade. Pink rooms are joyful in any of its forms — pale pink and dusty pink but if you really want a dopamine dose, we would suggest going down the more coral pink route. This lively and energetic hue adds a touch of playfulness and warmth to the bathroom.
Just be aware that this colour can go too close to orange, so it is important to get it right if you want it to feel decidedly pink. You could choose to bring that orange side out and add in some orange and even reds to a pink bathroom.
Sunny yellows
Surely the happiest shade of them all! Yellow bathrooms are wonderful spaces, but working with such a bold hue can be tricky, so, as we always suggest — swatch, swatch, swatch! Think about the size of your room, what light it gets and what style you want to create. Yellow tones are known to evoke joy and happiness. However, for a bathroom, where freshness and cleanliness are desired, using pure yellow might not be the best choice.
With that being said, the colours you personally gravitate towards are likely the ones that bring you the most joy, as long as they are not too intense. So, if you want to ensure yellow is going to give you all those happy vibes but not overwhelm the space, we would recommend going with a more ochre-toned yellow. — homesandgardens
