In House Beautiful‘s 2024 Whole Home in Asheville, North Carolina, the guest bathroom is decked out in a monochrome palette of blues. The star, however, is the cornflower hue that covers the vanity and shelving. This shade is sophisticated while still feeling dramatic and playful.

A feminine and playful bathroom paint color to try is pale pink. Prevent it from veering into babyish territory by pairing it with a statement mirror and light fixture. Color-matching your bathroom fixtures is an easy way to make the look completely cohesive.

If you’re designing a room around a statement bathroom fixture, opt for a neutral bathroom paint color to help balance the pops of color. In Lucinda Chambers’s London home, her bathroom is an all-over beige. And while this hue often has a boring reputation, it’s the perfect backdrop for her yellow tub and collection of plates.

“A deep-hued plaster feels elegant and glamorous, especially for a small bathroom,” says designer Wendy Labrum. “Make sure it’s well-lit for vanity lighting, but don’t be scared of saturated color.” For this bathroom paint color, Labrum chose Benjamin Moore’s Tempest as a plaster. It pairs nicely with the dramatic veining in the marble countertop and flooring.

Drench the bathroom walls and ceiling in olive green paint, as designer Roger Higgins did in this small space. “Saturated color adds ambiance and elevates the mood of a room,” he says. “Add a high-gloss finish, and you’ll elevate the look even more.” Try Olive by Little Greene for a similar look.

Try painting traditional beadboard in a sleek black hue and contrasting it with bright white paint on the upper half of the wall, as designer Linda Hayslett did for this tiny bathroom. She chose Black Beauty by Benjamin Moore for the beadboarding to put a modern twist on the classic style. “People often think black would be too overpowering or make a space look smaller, but in this case, Black Beauty helped to give character and life to this space,” Hayslett says.

Benjamin Moore’s White Dove is a tried-and-true designer favorite paint color for practically every room in a home. It’s excellent for a bathroom if you’re looking to create a serene environment. Designer Marguerite Rodgers used the shade on the walls of this bathroom and paired it with other neutral accents to enhance the room’s tranquility.

Not only will a muted green hue promote a sense of calm, but this bathroom paint color can bring the outdoors in. “I chose Farrow & Ball Green Smoke for this cute powder in Texas because I wanted to continue the green from the exterior but didn’t want it to be too dark,” says designer Linda Hayslett. The soft, light green “makes an easy transition into the bathroom from the outside since it’s accessible from the back patio and inside of the house,” she adds.

“Ivory is an excellent canvas for the addition of energy and personality through bath linens, counter accessories, and wall art,” says Emily Munroe, who designed this bathroom. “We are huge fans of color, with a reputation for pushing the limits on bold pattern-on-pattern designs, but we often end up designing bathrooms with crisp ivory walls.” For a similar shade, try Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore.

Every day feels like summer in this dream of a bathroom created by designer Kureck Jones. The relaxing lavender bathroom paint color pairs perfectly with the tonal pinks and purples of the tile and the romantic leaf motif on the floor. Try Farrow & Ball’s Sugared Almond for a similar look.

Wake up with an extra pep in your step as you enter a warm, soothing bathroom thanks to a pop of sunshine through paint.
