Small Bathroom Paint Colors

“I suggest choosing lights and whites over dark and bold as these colors make a room feel larger,” says EasyCare color expert Cynthia Cornell. “White reflects light, amplifying whatever light you may have in the room and you can always accessorize to make a splash.”

Paint Colors for Bathrooms With No Windows

“[For bathrooms with no windows], I suggest choosing lights and whites over dark and bold colors, as lighter colors make a room feel larger,” says Cornell. “White reflects light, amplifying whatever light you may have in the room—and you can always accessorize with fluffy yellow or lime green towels to make a splash.”

Spa Paint Colors for Bathrooms

In this nautical-inspired bath, a navy tub anchors the room, while a soft Robin’s egg blue sets a fresh backdrop. “When creating color combinations, find colors that share similar undertone,” says Benjamin Moore color marketing and development manager, Hannah Yeo. “For instance, using variation of one color family is easy on the eye. Think of a sky blue, gray blue, an off-white with blue undertone and a deep navy in a matte finish. A monochromatic color scheme creates the least amount of contrast that results in a soothing combination.”

“More and more, we’re seeing homeowners opting for rich, moody hues in their homes—including bathrooms, both large and small,” says vice president of color and creative services at Behr, Erika Woelfel. “It seems counterintuitive, but painting a small space with a dark shade can add an instant wow factor to the bathroom.”
