Colorful Bathrooms 2013 Decorating Ideas : Color Schemes

Bathrooms are excellent rooms to experiment with fun color palettes. Take a cue from these rooms to transform your bathroom into a stylish retreat.

By : Annika Peick

Taupe + Dusty Blue + Off White

Muted blue walls surround this bathroom with calming energy. The vanity was given a fresh coat of sandy brown paint, which echoes the muted hue of the bathroom's walls. Warm off white furnishings, such as the marble floor and the painted mirror frames, blend well into the room's relaxing aesthetic.

Sage Green + Mahogany

In this bathroom, green walls lend an earthy backdrop to a pair of antique wood vanities. The vanities, two vintage workbenches rescued from an old school shop classroom, were an eco friendly way for the homeowners to boost style in their master bathroom.

Fiery Orange + White

The bold orange wall color adds warmth and a splash of youthful energy to this kids' bathroom. Crisp white beaded board adorns the lower portion of the walls, while the tub and its surround are covered with square white tiles that match the vintage look of the bathroom's trough sink. The blue stripes on the bath mat incorporate a hint of contrasting color.

White + Butter Yellow

A color palette of warm yellow and crisp white creates a vintage vibe in this master bathroom. White painted paneling covers three fourths of the bathroom's walls, while the upper portion features a sunny yellow hue. The thick, dark grout lines throughout the shower and floor tiling, plus the vanity's furniture style construction, emphasize the bathroom's vintage aesthetic.

Gray + Mustard Yellow + Sky Blue

Soft gray walls lend a neutral backdrop for mustard yellow and sky blue accents in this spacious bathroom. The patterned shower curtain features a sunny floral motif, which functioned as the inspiration for the sconces that flank the bold blue mirror frame above the vanity.

Black + White

White painted walls, wispy white draperies, and white marble flooring look grounded thanks to a collection of black accents in this master bathroom. The outside of the claw foot tub was painted black to match the legs of the nearby chair and glass top table. The bathroom's modern black and white color scheme draws a unique juxtaposition to its vintage inspired furnishings.

Ocean Blue + Sandy Brown + White

A soft palette of watery blue, sandy brown, and white creates a beachy vibe in this bathroom. The painted vanity cabinet matches the color of the walls, creating a seamless look. A mosaic tile backsplash along the wall behind the vanity adds a hint of sparkle and vintage appeal.

Mahogany + Pumpkin + Ebony

Deep, rich earth tones give this bathroom a masculine edge. The room's color scheme was designed to blend with its existing woodwork, which features a warm mahogany stain. To temper the small bathroom's predominantly dark color scheme, the vanity features a furniturelike, open construction.

Raspberry + Black

A cheerful pink hue on the upper portion of this bathroom's walls lends an unexpected splash of color to the predominantly neutral scheme. The marble tile on the lower portion of the walls adds smooth texture, which is echoed by the trim along the ceiling. Mirrored cabinet fronts on the black painted vanity ensure the piece doesn't overwhelm the small bathroom space.

Yellow + Light Green

Yellow is the most visible of all colors, and it boasts chameleonlike character, shifting its appearance with its surroundings. In this trendy bathroom, the light wood vanity cabinet and green hand towels both sport yellow undertones that pick up on the soft yellow wall color. The upper portion of one wall was covered with wallpaper that features a birch tree motif, which plays in to the relaxing vibe created through the wall color.

Powder Blue + Buff Beige + White

The warm neutral on the upper portion of the walls helps soften the crisp white beaded board that's used along the lower walls in this bathroom. Pale blue accents featured in the towels, the shower curtain, and a trio of hand painted wall canvases add hints of sophisticated color.

Dove Gray + Gold

Metallic gray walls create a dramatic backdrop in this regal master bathroom. Here, the luxurious Carrara marble countertop on the walnut vanity base mirrors the soothing gray on the walls. The shimmering gold mirror frame above the vanity subtly bounces light from the nearby window, echoing the room's gleaming chrome fixtures.

Pistachio + Baby Blue + Yellow

This tiny bathroom has big style thanks to an analogous color scheme of green, yellow, and blue. To create the illusion of more height, the walls were outfitted with narrow plank beaded board and the ceiling was painted a soft blue hue. Decorative elements scattered throughout the space, such as the window treatments, hand towels, and sconce shades, incorporate splashes of green and yellow.

Aqua + Spring Green + White

In this bathroom, a built in hutch stands out as something truly special, thanks to a coat of fresh green paint. Nearby, a striped shower curtain features a similar green as well as a cheerful blue. The walls in the bathroom were left white to allow easy transitions as the homeowners' decorating tastes change.

Furniture Projects 2013 Decorating Ideas

Build your own furniture from scratch or remake an old piece with these furniture project ideas.

Furniture Project: Ombre Desk

Give a desk or dresser an ombre effect. Pick a paint strip in a color you love and buy a can of paint for each drawer or "tier" of drawers. Use the lightest color on the strip for the top, the next darkest color (or colors, depending on how many drawers you have) for the middle section, and use the darkest color for the bottom drawer. Make sure to use colors in the order that they are displayed on the strip so you get a natural progression of color.

Furniture Project: Bookcase

Skip the basic bookcase and construct your own. Build a series of boxes in different sizes, stack, and attach.

Furniture Project: Build a Coffee Table

Create a coffee table from two retired kitchen cabinets. Place the cabinets side by side, screw together, and paint white. Cut a piece of medium density fiberboard (MDF) to fit on top of the cabinets. Paint and coat the piece in polyurethane, then attach to the top of the cabinets. For the base, cut the number of MDF sheets to size and stack depending on the desired height for the table. Glue the sheets together. Face the base with veneer and screw to the bottom of the cabinet.

Furniture Project: Revive a Wicker Chair

Paint a wicker chair to give it a fresh update and to bring it up to speed with the rest of your decor. Use a liquid deglosser before painting for best results.

Furniture Project: Retrofit a Table

Even a dilapidated table can be revived with a bit of creativity and ingenuity. Shop for a table that is past its prime (this one was missing a leaf). You'll also need a 2x2 inch board, wood screws, a table saw, and a drill. Take all of the hardware beneath the table off (sliding mechanisms, etc.) Cut the table in half lengthwise with the saw. Cut the board to 1 inch less than the width of the table. Attach the board with screws to wall studs at a height flush with the underside of the table. Fasten the table to the board from underneath with wood screws.

Furniture Project: Trim a Chair

Return a traditional, yet tired chair to its former glory with nailhead trim and a bright fabric. Paint the chair. Cut an oval of fabric to fit the back. Staple into place and trim the excess. Hot glue flat white trim around the edge to hide the staples. Cover the seat in a similar method. Finish the back and seat with nailhead trim from a bolt (available at fabric stores), which comes in a ribbon and is easier and quicker to work with than individual nailheads.

Furniture Project: Build a Storage Ottoman

Add both a table and extra storage to your living room or family room with an ottoman constructed from MDF.

Furniture Project: Pretty Desk Chair

Pull up a playful perch next to your desk with this easy chair makeover. This once dull chair was pepped up with a fresh coat of paint (see final slide: how to spray paint a chair) and a seat cover fashioned from a pillow cover. To upholster the seat, remove the seat and wrap both thicknesses of the cover around the seat and staple to the back. Be sure to center the motif and pull the fabric tight as you staple. Trim the excess fabric and screw the seat into the frame.

Furniture Project: Built In Window Seat

Another purpose for old or unfinished cabinets: a window seat with the look of a built in. Build this project in an entry or living room for extra seating and storage.

Furniture Project: Utilty Table Made Beautiful

On first glance, you wouldn't know that this was a utilitarian table, commonly seen in schools.

Furniture Project: Dining Room Buffet

This buffet doesn't take up much space, but it packs plenty of function as a place to serve drinks or snacks.
