Bathroom Ideas In Yellow & Blue

Decorate a bathroom with yellow and blue accents.

Bright and light, and cool and soothing are a combination of color extremes that invoke feelings of cool refreshment when yellow and blue decorate a bathroom. Lighter, softer tones conjure up thoughts of the sea breezes along a sandy seashore, while darker yellows and blues are bold ways to add a touch of excitement and the exotic to a bathroom space.

Pastels

A bathroom decorated in soft blue and yellow pastels feels like entering a seaside retreat in the early morning. Using a neutral backdrop of white or off-white paint on the walls makes yellow and blue accents pop out in the bathroom space. Highlight the bathroom with an accent wall; paint the bathroom trim in one accenting color, and paint one wall in the opposite color.

Pastel bathroom accessories extend the theme of the bathroom beyond the wall colors. Curtains, cups, toothbrush holders, towels and washcloths and bathroom mats and rugs are all ways to add more color throughout the bathroom.

Bold Colors

Excitement is the bold colors of blue and yellow in a bathroom. Use these colors to decorate a boy's bathroom or to create an exotic design reminiscent of Morocco or South America.

Paint the walls blue, and use bold blue accents and bathroom accessories throughout the bathroom, or paint the walls a shade of white to make the bathroom's yellow and blue accessories pop out in the design.

Complementary Colors

Yellow and blue are split complementary colors that are balanced by a third color--shades of red or red-orange. Imagine how a touch of peach or pink will accent a bathroom decorated in pastel yellow and blue, giving the space a little more color depth. Or break up the monotony of a bold yellow and blue design with a splash of red or orange. It doesn't take too much of these accent colors to make this statement, just a cup or a soap dish, or a stepstool, basket or hamper.

An Exotic Design

Travel the world when you enter your bathroom decorated in deepened tones of blue, gold, reddish brown and muted orange. Analogous to the blue, a splash of purple adds color depth to the bathroom. Accenting the space with exotic textiles from the Midwest, South or Central America or Africa, brass fixtures, wooden accents and reddish brown rugs, baskets and curtains take a yellow and blue bathroom design to another dimension.
