Almost every room in your house shines thanks to the colors that decorate it. So why deprive your bathroom of that? Although it's a small space, it deserves to be just as bright as any other. You can beautify it with a play of colors.

1) Subtle colors to decorate your colorful toilet

To refresh your bathroom, neutral colors are ideal for creating a more cheerful atmosphere. Gray, taupe, green, black, mauve, ochre, and sky blue are all great choices. Green can lend a natural feel to the room, and plants can enhance its presence. Blue, in your bathroom, evokes the presence of water.

If you're a fan of Scandinavian style , don't hesitate to repaint your bathroom in ochre. Mauve is especially useful if you have metallic accessories in your bathroom. You can also use beige, deep blue, dark yellow, and pastel shades in general.

2) Trendy bright colors for a colorful toilet

With bright colors, you can create a playful and original atmosphere in your bathroom. Use bright yellow on your bathroom walls to brighten them up. Paint just a few sections with this color and add some wall decorations or a mirror.

A simple coat of bright white paint will give the restroom a clean, minimalist feel. Beyond these colors, you can use red in all its shades. Pink is a good choice if you're a woman, and bright blue if you want a more masculine space. You can also opt for vibrant, zesty colors. In this case, orange is a great option.

Feel free to play with these colours as you wish to transform your toilet into unusual little nooks.

II) The use of wallpaper or paints

If you plan to frequently change the colors in your bathroom, wallpaper is an ideal choice. However, you need to know how to choose the right patterns . Paint is another option, provided you choose a good quality paint. It's best to opt for easy-to-clean materials that guarantee impeccable hygiene.

That said, if your toilet is separate from the bathroom, you can paint just a few sections and add decorative accessories to the rest. It will also depend on the size of the room.

III) Floral patterns, a classic in toilet decoration

Invite nature into your bathroom by adding floral motifs. Be careful to only install floral patterns that are suitable for bathrooms. Examples include Adiantum, kentia palm, orchid , and papyrus.

IV) Use subway tiles to decorate your colorful toilet

Less expensive and always on trend, subway tiles are a decorating option that will add a touch of luxury to your bathroom. It's important to choose the right materials and understand the difference between floor tiles and wall tiles.

1) Which trendy materials should you prioritize?

Subway tiles come in various forms, depending on their material. They are available in terracotta, marble, stoneware , cement, and earthenware. All these materials are suitable for bathrooms, but only in specific areas.

2) Floor and wall facade tiles

You should know that the use of tiles on the toilet wall can be done in two ways.

You can tile either the entire wall or just part of it. It all depends on your preferences. If you choose partial tiling , it will be done on the lower part of the wall, and the upper part will be painted. Ceramic tiles are the most suitable for wall installation. Some even come in a variety of patterns.

Next, you need to install a toilet floor covering that is both aesthetically pleasing and hygienic. For the floor, avoid subway tiles, which are too slippery. It's better to opt for cement-based tiles for a more authentic look. Also note that extra-large floor tiles will create a more striking effect.

V) How to use toilet accessories

The finishing touch to your bathroom decor involves accessories. What accessories do you need?

1) What accessories should be used?

Light fixtures in the bathroom also contribute to the decor. The ideal fixtures for a bathroom are ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted lights.

You can only decorate the wall lights by covering the bulb with tape to break up the color. Besides the light fixtures, you should also decorate the trash can , the towel box, the mirrors, the toilet paper holder, the toilet brush, and other items.

2) Our professional advice for toilet accessories

Place stickers on the bins that match the patterns of the tiles used. Vary these patterns to avoid a monotonous decoration.

Regarding toilet paper holders , you should know that they come in animal shapes with colorful designs that will add a touch of color to your bathroom. If possible, opt for models that attach to other accessories such as the trash can or the toilet brush holder.

Toilet brushes also come in a variety of colors. Choose a color that perfectly matches your decor. Make sure you select a wall-mounted model. Opt for colorful and decorative storage boxes that blend discreetly into your bathroom.

Whether it's for the bin, the toilet brush , or the storage box, choose models made of plastic or metal. For metal ones, opt for steel if possible.

As you can see, decorating your bathroom with color is child's play. However, it's essential to know how to mix colors properly to achieve a visually pleasing result.
