Painting the bathroom requires great attention to every detail: from the choice of specific paints, to that of the most suitable colors, to the respect of the chromatic balance between the other elements within the space. So here are some tips for painting your bathroom, choosing the right colors for each wall.
How to paint bathroom
The bathroom is known, it is the space of the house that most of all requires attention as it is the place intended for the care of our person. Compared to other rooms, it is always in contact with hot water, condensation and temperature changes, making the walls more subject to wear. Therefore, it is necessary to pay close attention also to the choice of the type of dye and thus avoid unpleasant imperfections due to humidity and thermal variations (among the most suitable bathroom paints there are the water-soluble and breathable type).
The bathroom, being a well-organized and well-organized compartment, allows you to play with color not only on the walls, but also with regards to tiles and furnishings.
Bathroom wall colors: all solutions
In the choice of colors for the bathroom, certain factors must be taken into account:
- the color of the flooring, if it already exists;
- the position of the room: if exposed to the north it will be illuminated for a short time a day, and therefore it is preferable to use light colors; on the contrary, if the exposure is south, you can also orient yourself on darker shades.
The choice of the right tones must be carefully studied, especially in a small bathroom: color is a fundamental element to infuse a certain style or mood to the environment. So keep in mind the influence that colors also have on our mood, and try to maintain a balance by paying attention to the colors to avoid.
For a relaxing effect, the most appropriate tones are warm ones like sand and turtledove and cold ones like violet, green, lilac and blue. On the other hand, the shades of yellow, orange and red are particularly stimulating and energizing, therefore perfect for reviving the environment with colors.
Whitewash the bathroom
Finally, there is white, a color widely used to paint the walls of the bathroom because it allows to amplify the light and space – ideal, for example, in a windowless bathroom – and helps to give a feeling of order and cleanliness. On many occasions it is combined with black or gray to create the strong contrasts typical of a modern bathroom painting or to create refined and precious environments.
