Usually a satin finish is more durable and shinier and works for all types of bathrooms. What paint finish is ideal for the bathroom? Painted doors also help create wonderful zones in a home, where one painted door opens up a whole new world, and the other to another. With bold color, you can create a dramatic look, as if the user is entering into a beautifully curated, special space – almost like a red carpet into a special zone. Painting internal doors are one such clever trick. A lot of interior design tricks include creating a sense of illusion to fool the eyes and the mind into thinking of something that may or may not be there. Sure, your small cloakroom may not be the most impressive in terms of size or architectural value, but this is a secret only for you to know. 'Careful planning is essential so you can ensure that the joins work and that you’ve thought of practical considerations such as it will work about plug sockets, fireplaces, and doors.' 8. 'Whether you opt for traditional symmetrical patterns, the simple elegance of tongue and groove, or a more contemporary geometric design, ensure that you have thought through how the installation will work,' says Helen. 'Picking the right color to decorate them with is key if you prefer a subtle and elegant aesthetic consider a tonal scheme, or for a more impactful finish pick out a complimentary or feature color to draw the eye.' 'Another inexpensive way to make a space feel luxurious, paneling makes for a practical and decorative way of updating any space in your home,' says Helen Shaw, UK Director at Benjamin Moore (opens in new tab). Since the wall already has an uneven surface, you'd want to color it a light paint, to reduce the visual breaks on the wall, and make it seem smoother. While you may have added fluting to your walls, one way to make it look seamless and even use it as an accent wall is to paint it. The two colors hold their own, not dominating the other yet creating a wonderful scheme, lifting the humble small bathroom in the wake. This bathroom by 2LG Studio (opens in new tab) is a good example, where the pink wall tiles partner up with blue-painted cabinets and help create a smart scheme. The cool shade of pink can subdue the sharp tones of blue, and create an unusual pairing. There are lots of colors that go with pink, but it looks especially striking with blue. The most common couplings are of primary colors (red, yellow, or blue) and secondary colors (green, purple, or orange). However, drenching the entire room in, say deep blue and stark yellow may not have the best results. For instance, two bold colors can be used on a single accent wall to create an impact.
When choosing two extremely bold hues, it's always better to use them both in balance, and limited quantity. All these factors play an important role in creating effective color contrasts. It's not so much the colors but the way they are used, the surfaces they are used on, and their intensity and amount of use. In the hands of a design pro, even the most jarring color combinations can look wonderful. Try to keep things light unless you are working with a powder or accessory bathroom, where make-up and other grooming are less likely.' 6. 'In small bathroom spaces, I love using playful or boldly patterned wallpaper on walls, then pulling colors from the pattern to paint ceilings, trims, and doors. 'Don't be afraid to paint the vanity with a bright or daring color,' says Jessica Risko Smith, principal designer, JRSID (opens in new tab). Add bright metallic handles to give the room some glitter.
If your bathroom is largely neutral, tones of blue, green, or pink could lift the space. Simply sand the piece and give it a fresh look with color. Though it’s typically used for storing utensils, table linens, serving dishes, and the like, it provides lots of functional storage and surface space when repurposed.
A buffet or sideboard is also a good idea. While purchasing a bright-toned vanity may not be in your plan, you could recycle an old piece of furniture, give it a new lick of paint and use it as a bathroom storage piece. If you live in a rental and can't paint the walls, take the color to the more flexible pieces like the vanity. Sometimes a slim bathroom or cloakroom can feel a bit bland and impersonal.
