Bathroom Vanities Colors

White bathroom vanities look especially classy with silver or gold accents.


The vanity in your bathroom space can either complement the main color in the room or add a visual contrast, making the vanity a bathroom's signature piece. Warm tones can add sophisticated brightness to a bathroom, while "cool" shades will promote an air of relaxation. Patterned vanities can serve as impressive focal pieces for a bathroom as well.








White


White is a classic and safe color for a vanity, but the color can also serve as a visually appealing contrast when the bathroom is a rich shade of brown or a dark gray color. Off-white vanities that are installed on tan or cream-colored bathroom walls are elegant monochromatic additions to a bathroom. If you've used particularly striking colors for the rest of the bathroom, like jewel-tone shades of aubergine or royal blue, a creamy shade of white is best for the vanity; if the feature is detached from the wall, you can add a seat cushion in blue or purple to the vanity stool.


Black








A sleek and modern bathroom will look even more so with a black vanity. If the rest of the walls are white or gray, black vanity counters and stools add direct color contrast that is visually appealing. Black also looks great with medium brown shades like nutmeg or cocoa; a detached black vanity is the perfect addition to a safari-themed bathroom where leopard or cheetah print linens and area rugs are part of the decor. It's also a good idea to add a vanity stool to the space with a white or tan seat cushion to add more modest color.


Red, Orange or Pink


Warm colors like orange, pink and red give a pop of color to a tan or reddish brown bathroom; a vanity in one of these colors can easily become the focal point of the bathroom. If the vanity is attached to the wall, paint the front of the vanity counter or mirror border a cranberry red or burgundy to complement the cinnamon shade of brown in the room. A soft shade of pink is the perfect addition to a vanity in a chocolate brown bathroom, and orange counters or vanity stools add vitality to a bathroom with golden brown tones.


Blue, Green or Purple


A purple vanity will stand out in a charcoal gray bathroom, particularly if the purple is a deep shade like eggplant. Lilac vanities and stools are a pretty addition to a bathroom with ivory or pastel gray walls. Other cool colors, like green and blue, provide a soothing burst of color to black bathrooms; a wooden mirror border in cobalt blue is eye-catching and modern, and a Kelly green detached vanity with silver or gray accents is a sound choice for a bathroom with pistachio green, or even aqua blue, walls or artwork.
