Even though it is often overlooked, your bathroom deserves an inspired redesign for the new year. 2018 was about using bold colors to give your space a more edgy feel but 2019 is all about finding balance. Design experts are thinking ahead about how color will reflect and impact the way we live. Earthy tones are mindful and are a more nature-based approach to design while vibrant colors are energizing and playful. No matter your mood or lifestyle, use this time to be thinking about refreshing your bathroom with some of the year’s best hues.

Hazy Blues

Some people are drawn to the grayer spectrum of hues, the color of Paris in the rain, while others may be drawn towards misty calming soft blues for a tranquil effect. Select hues along the gray spectrum to keep it cool or add hints of purple for a more inspired glow. You can also bypass paint entirely and evoke a new cooler look with concrete design, like sink basins instead.

Minimalist Neutrals

Neutral shades of cream, cloud white and sand bring a sense of calm and serenity. Compliment cream tones with organic textures like woven baskets and plants. Install copper hardware for a minimal industrial aesthetic. Neutrals are ideal for bringing freshness to the bathroom space.

Serene Corals

Corals are warm but lively with a wide range of the color scale depending on how they are used. Evocative of deep sea coral reefs this color invites lightheartedness. If you aren’t prepared to take the plunge into painted walls, introduce splashes of coral through design details such as textiles or accent pieces. Coral works well with neutral tones like sand or olive.

Soft Pastels

Pastels have the ability to be both fresh and timeless all at once. Lavender or dusty mauve can create an elegant creative expression. Used along detailing like cream textiles or sleek modern hardware, pastels can feel contemporary and polished.

Earthy Terracotta

Inspired by the desert, earthy shades of terracotta play well with mid-century modern design styles as well as Southwestern elements. Refined and warm, reminiscent of baked clay pottery or well worn leather, terracotta speaks to those with naturalist tendencies. This shade pairs well with sage green or dusty blue.

Let your bathroom be the first transformed space to inspire a new year of design. May 2019 be an exciting year of inspiration and transformation!
