Blue is trendy in decor, so it is easy to locate blue accents for the bathroom. The only problem is that some people may find an all-blue bathroom decor monochromatic and sterile, while others like the serene spa-like feeling it creates. The mood of a depends wholly on what you choose as trim and accessories.
Instructions
1. Determine your goal. If you like the cool modern feeling, blue looks perfect accented with silver, gray or white. With silver bathroom hardware, the overall look is tranquil and soothing. If you want to go retro, try complementing turquoise blue with 1950s-style pink. If you favor French country, invest in some beautiful blue and antique white tiles. For Mexican rustic style, put together indigo blue with rusty orange and sunshine yellow.
2. Create splashes of color with paint. Try adding another shade of blue or get more vivid with Caribbean greens and yellows. You can go small with the color and just add it to baseboard trim or around window frames, or you can go major by painting an accent wall or the door or the vanity.
3. Try your hand at a crafty project. Because there are relatively few pieces of furniture in a bathroom, add a little impact to one of them. Try framing a mirror mosaic-style with tiles. Get funky vintage fabric for curtains. Trade out boring faucets for stylish ones with vintage or modern flair. Paint a subtle trim of stencils along the base of the wall.
4. Accessorize the look. If you are aiming for a cool and tranquil ambience, accessorize minimally and items out of sight or in sleek, geometric storage containers. If you want to warm up the look, accent the bathroom with a bright throw rug or some towels in warm shades of yellow, red, orange or earth tones. Some people may want to accessorize according to a theme, such as beach or tropical style, in which case shells, starfish and sand dollars look winning. For the eco-look, use organic cotton textiles, creamy white and earth tone shades and natural soaps and creams displayed in glass, ceramic or wooden containers.
5. Keep surfaces free of clutter. Now that your is beautifully decorated, endeavor to keep personal belongings out of sight or at least organized. Invest in some baskets to keep inside the vanity drawers and cupboards. These are the quickest and most versatile containers for sorting belongings.
