These Pretty Paint Colors Are Here to Turn Your Bathroom Into a Sanctuary

While we typically put our focus on the living room, dining area, or bedroom when choosing paint colors for our home, finding the perfect bathroom color is just as important. After all, these spaces are usually much smaller than any other room in your house or apartment, so you want to make sure you’re creating a relaxing, inviting vibe (rather than a tiny broom closet aesthetic). Not to mention, you do spend a good amount of time in there each day. Just saying.

So yes, it’s worth considering a paint color that elevates your bathroom a notch. Thankfully, there are plenty of seriously stunning choices out there—no matter your personal home decor style. Whether you are into dark and moody looks or prefer to keep your space sleek and bright, we’ve rounded up all the best bathroom colors to try in your own home, below.

It’s soothing! It’s classic! It’s powder blue (!)—and you should definitely consider it for your bathroom. This paint color just hits so right every time. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s the color of water, or perhaps it’s simply that blue is a calming color. Either way, your home deserves it.
