Add Colour to Your Bathrooms with These Tips


When it comes to remodeling your personal space, nothing does it better than a dash of colour. Though, when it comes to remodeling your bathroom…well, that’s a bit tricky. Bathrooms are usually the smallest rooms of our house and we tend not to decorate them. But if that’s where you’ll be every day, first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, then it helps to have a pleasant overture. 


Follow these five tips and learn how to add some colour to your bathroom.

1. Paint the walls

The easiest way to bring your bathroom to life is to paint the walls. Bathroom cabinets and other fixtures are usually pale or neutral in shade so in this case, bold colour can work. Teal, red, yellow and cobalt blue are great options to brighten up the room.

2. Colourful tiles

If the walls are not up for a paint job then maybe experiment with some coloured tiles. Use your chosen colour scheme to draw attention to a particular area or object within the bathroom. Also keep in mind the type of tiles that you will be using because they will help set the tone for any other colours you might want to add.

3.  Vanity pop  

Bathroom vanities and countertops serve as ideal places to play with two-toned shades. You can go for brighter shades on the outer sections of the vanity and contrast them with lighter shades on the inside. Pinks, yellows and reds work great with white and grey shades. On the flip side, you can also play with metallic shades if you’ve got a marble design on your counter or walls.

4. Accessorize

When setting up a bathroom from scratch, it’s easy to get lost in trying to figure out the perfect colour palette. When it’s time to introduce items to the room, there are too many colours going on. Excessive decoration can look gaudy when there’s already dozens of products lining the shelves. Accessorizing must be done smartly. Use towels, rugs and candles sparingly. If most of your bathroom is in neutral shades, pick vibrant colours for other items. Try a purple or bright orange hand towel if the rest of your bathroom is white.

5. Plants

A little bit of greenery goes a long way in making your bathroom look fresh. Plants inside the home are known for their ability to clean up toxins from the air and this makes them the ideal addition to the bathroom space. If you’re looking for more colours, you can complement the plants with artificial flowers. This way you don’t have to worry about their maintenance.

Colour schemes and bathroom remodeling can get a little confusing for those with little experience in the designing area. Leave the task to the professionals. Contact Oakridge Remodeling and get customized services for your renovation ideas.

Rookie Bathroom Renovation Blunders

Image
Cleaning bathrooms on its own is a task momentous enough to make most of us groan in resignation and protest—and one can only imagine how taxing renovating bathrooms must feel like. Bathroom renovations are tough undertakings, although they are not uncommon. Most people, before putting up their houses for sale, often have their bathrooms renovated. This helps them fetch a better price at the market  since the bathroom looks like it’s been freshly minted and you have a great opportunity of pandering to the modern trends in interior design. People also get their bathrooms renovated when the number of the members in their family changes—especially when they have kids that are growing up and who need space for themselves.    Underestimating the gravity of a bathroom remodel ends in various problems for the homeowner: there are delays, unwanted and expensive extensions, unnecessary additional expenses, and a great deal of stress.
