When it comes to remodeling your home, nothing can seem quite good enough. There are so many choices, contractors, and options to improve your home that some great options may get lost in the shuffle and thrown out with the rest. It almost seems as though we’re never satisfied because there are too many great ways to renovate a home and try to make it look like it’s straight out of the pages of a design magazine.
Here we’re going to go over some of the best bathroom colors for 2021. While it may seem like some color choices never change, they certainly do in relation to tastes and fashion. Psychology has also given us more information than ever before about how colors affect our mood and the relaxation or rest a room provides. Since the bathroom is a room that meets these criteria, it only makes sense that it would be a priority in remodeling your home.
Remodeling Your Bathroom
A bathroom remodel is slightly different than a kitchen remodel, or remodeling your home in general. Because it is a room with a specific purpose, the design and functionality need to be planned out accordingly. Having a sink that doesn’t work, or engaging with bright colors that distract or make the inhabitant uneasy defeats the purpose of remodeling the bathroom in the first place. There is a reason that the other name for a bathroom is “the rest room.” Because it is a place in which to recuperate and relax away from the other “living” rooms of the house.
The bathroom remodel is one of the most requested home renovations, because it is such a frequently used room. The color of paint and the way it is presented add to the experience in many ways, and it can be helpful to try and pick neutral colors such as soft gray, bright white, or light blue to soothe the person in the bathroom. If you have a window or some other light area, enhancing this with trim or wallpaper can also make the room “come alive.”
What Different Colors Say About Your Bathroom
There are many things that your bathroom color can say about you as a homeowner and as a host. If you’re eccentric and artistic, there may be nothing wrong with painting your bathroom bright orange with blue dots. But you also must understand that this can affect your guests, home resale value, and a whole host of other related factors. Remodeling your home is both an art and a process and should be respected.
In general, 2021 is pointing to some colors that appear to be popular both in the general market and interior design business. Light green, for example, appears to give the feeling of bringing the outdoors to the inside of your home. Creamy white, on the other hand, can take a sterile space and revamp it into something much warmer and congenial. Brown, especially when combined with wood, tends to have a very earthy look that reminds people of a European spa or other such luxurious environments.
Whatever color your space is, it can be helpful to take color samples and try to apply them to your current room to see what fits. There are even phone and digital applications that will take a photo of your room to show you what it might look like after it’s been painted so that you don’t have to actually go through the trouble!
