Choose Your Palette To Design A Crisp, Spa-Like Bathroom

There is a reason why people say that a bathroom is a good investment, and hence, you must be ready to spend a great deal of time and effort to convert it into a sanctuary. A bathroom is a place where you relax and unwind- a room where you pamper yourself, where you let go of all your tensions in the evening, and where you spend a few precious moments in perfect sanctity before you head out to the crazy rush of the outside world. A bathroom is thus, no longer a corner in your house that you design in a hurry; in fact, people these days, spend a great deal of time designing and planning for a modern looking bathroom. If you are building a home or remodeling an existing one, then consider the new trends in a bathroom too.
A luxurious looking bathroom need not put a strain on your bank balance because there are plenty of economical ideas to make your bathroom a comfortable retreat. The new trend is to put in a lot of colors for the bathroom. Subtle colors are almost out and cheerful, vibrant and bright colors are taking its place. Initially, people did not even consider putting in a lot of colors in their bathroom; perhaps it did not even enter their minds that bathrooms can be made glamorous as well. While spacious bathrooms with innovative lighting and trendy showers were already in vogue, colors did not make an entry till recent times. And people unwilling to experiment with the palette, would still go for the safe colors. Beige, cream and white are always safe and would go well with all kinds of bathroom accessories. Lemon yellow, electric orange, poppy red and berry pink are all stunning colors for your bathroom accessories.

Choosing your color palette
When you choose the hues for your bathroom, you must consider your personal taste as well. When you put together a color palette, make sure it conforms to your moods and invokes peace and relaxation. When you are transforming your bathroom by introducing lively shades, you can do it in such a way that people don’t find it outrageous. For example, it should go well with the rest of the colors you have chosen for your home. If you are choosing a blue and white theme for your bathroom, you can add in matching rugs, towels and other accessories. Or you can try a different look for your bathroom by putting in shades of blue, aqua or other bright beach colors. If you still prefer to have light colors for your bathroom, then top it off with colorful accessories; they will balance the lack of color in your bathroom. Ultimately, the colors you choose must provide for a calming, soothing bathing experience and really, colors do play a major role in that.  Did you know that choosing the right color palette for your bathroom would actually increase your energy levels and create positive vibes? Yes, they do.  Consider getting an expert to weigh the options, the hottest colors and the contemporary styles for your bathroom before you embark on a home improvement project.

To enhance the look of your bathroom and to bring out the best in the color palette you have chosen, make sure you have soft lighting. Harsh, artificial lights play havoc to the colors you have chosen for your bathroom.
