Blue Bathroom Ideas
Blue paint is always a natural choice for a bathroom, as it has a calm, restorative energy. When you think of blue, tranquil oceans and clear skies naturally come to mind, making it a great shade for a relaxing bathroom. Check out these blue bathroom ideas to help you get started and inspire your own spa-like spaces.
Why is blue a good colour for a bathroom?
A blue bathroom will always be timeless, due to its ability to create a relaxing atmosphere. Colour psychology suggests that blue brings peace and tranquillity, and its associations with bodies of water appeals to our sense of calm.
Dark blue bathroom ideas
Whether you prefer contemporary styles or regal elegance, a dark blue bathroom will always bring sophistication to your interiors. An intense dark blue with a subtle touch of green, pair our Evening Blue with gold accents and warm whites for a sense of traditional charm. Alternatively, try our deep, dramatic Odyssey for the perfect navy blue bathroom.
A blue-green with smoky grey undertones, Deep Sea is ideal for a modern, muted look. Try using our Bathroom Wood and Cabinet Paint to transform panelling with Deep Sea, and offset with crisp Chalk White on the walls for a stunning contrast. Add accents of rose pink to really make an impact.
Light blue bathroom ideas
If you fancy an opulent, regency look, our light blue Nan’s Best China is inspired by a classic Wedgwood blue. Try pairing with gold mirrors and bath taps to complete your regal light blue bathroom.
For a relaxing coastal feel, this bathroom cabinet in luminous Duck Egg blue contrasts beautifully with warm yellow-toned neutral Sandhaven. Perfect for creating beachy summer vibes.
Best blues for north-facing bathrooms
North-facing bathrooms receive reflected light, appearing darker and cooler in tone. To brighten things up, we recommend colours that are light, bright or green-toned such as Duck Egg, Powder Blue, Blue Sky and Evening Blue.
Best blues for south-facing bathrooms
South-facing bathrooms receive a lot of warm, natural light, and pair with almost any colour palette. We recommend cooler, darker shades such as Ink Blue, Blueprint, Commodore Blue and Coastal Blue.
