The bathroom is a place
where you can really experiment with the power
of paint, one of decorating’s most potent mood-creating
tools.
Decide in advance on the feeling you’d like
to create. A soothing haven for the soul, peaceful,
cool and totally simple, with subtle personal
touches?
Opulent, regal and relaxing? Charming, cool
and quirky?
Whatever you decide, don’t be afraid to make
your bathroom highly individual, while still
reflecting your personal home design style—whether
that’s traditional or modern, country or casual.
Consider using stronger color schemes. Black
and white, or orange and blue, can be fun in
a bathroom, whereas they might be overpowering
in a living room or a bedroom.
Mix textures (laminates, towels, mats, and plants,
for example), with different wall and floor
colors.
Try your hand at Faux Finishing techniques (see
Having Fun with Faux).
While your bathroom paint needs to be tough,
waterproof and easy to clean, don’t confuse
practical with clinical.
Aim to create a haven of peace and solitude,
where you can relax and unwind after an exhausting
day. |
