Our Top 5 Tips for Choosing a Paint Colour for Your Bathroom

Choosing a paint colour for a bathroom can be a fun and rewarding process. Here are some tips to help you make the best choice:

1. Consider the size of the room

Lighter colours can make a small bathroom feel bigger, while darker shades can make a large bathroom feel more cozy and intimate.

2. Think about the lighting

The lighting in a bathroom can affect the way a paint colour looks. Natural light and artificial light can both change the appearance of a paint colour, so it's a good idea to view paint samples in the room at different times of day to see how the light affects the colour.

3. Take into account the style of the room

Consider the overall style of the room and choose a paint colour that complements it. For example, if your bathroom has a traditional style, you might choose a classic neutral colour like white or beige. If your bathroom has a more modern style, you might choose a bold, bright colour like red or orange.

4. Consider the fixtures and finishes

Look at the fixtures and finishes in your bathroom, such as the countertops, tile, and faucets, and choose a paint colour that complements them.

5. Test out the paint colour

Before making a final decision, it's a good idea to test out the paint colour by painting a small section of the wall and observing it in the room at different times of day. This will give you a better sense of how the colour will look in the space.
