How to choose a color for the bathroom
The main rule that most people adhere to is to decorate the bathroom in soft colors. The tiles must have a delicate shade, both on the walls and on the floor. This will create the illusion of spaciousness in a small room and preserve internal volume in a wide bathroom. That's right, but who said you can't use bright colors or dark colors in the bathroom? If you take into account one of the important factors given above and decide on the design correctly, anything is possible.
It is recommended to use dark shades in large rooms.
An important factor in choosing a color is the dimensions of the bathroom.
An important factor influencing the selection of colors should be understood as the size of the bathroom and its location. It can be not only rectangular in shape, but also, for example, angular in shape.

The rectangular shape is considered standard. It is convenient to place plumbing here, install pipes, and install interior items in accordance with generally accepted standards.
For a bathtub in a Khrushchev-era building, with a small size, given its tightness, combined with a toilet, light shades are really best suited. It is often beige with light brown streaks, light green or blue with a small pattern. For the floors, tiles of a similar tone, but slightly darker, are used to separate the horizontal section from the vertical.
For small rooms it is worth choosing miniature patterns, for large ones - vice versa.
A larger area allows you to realize more ideas and apply more contrasts. But here it is also important not to make a mistake with the color. Unsuccessful combinations will lead to the volume being visually lost. It is necessary to make the light tone dominant. Bright dark shades should create a harmonious combination of colors in the bathroom interior when paired with the main color.
If the room is decorated in dark shades, the bathroom can be chosen in light colors.
A small corner bathtub is not convenient for installing equipment of familiar shapes. The advantage is that there are no sharp corners. Such rooms usually have a shower cabin and compact round bathtubs with hydromassage. According to the layout, similar bathrooms are located in an apartment or a couple's house with wider rooms of similar functionality, where you can move more freely. Accordingly, the selection of color schemes should reflect the combination of two separate rooms, creating a unique ensemble.

Various shades of blue
A good solution for the bathroom would be to combine blue with darker shades of blue. Without the inclusion of other tones, the interior will be monochrome, while it will look complete and harmonious only if there are the lightest shades coupled with saturated ones.

Other colors
A duet of blue and brown is considered successful. Such a room will be a stylish, elegant, luxurious solution, especially when it is decorated in 2-3 different shades of heavenly tones and complemented with deep chocolate elements. If the room is small, it is better to introduce additional white notes into it.

Colored paraphernalia
The bathroom requires uniform, intense lighting and, in addition to this function, the light carries a certain aesthetic value. The flow should be evenly dispersed, flow weightlessly in the air, and not create contrasting transitions. It is permissible to hang a large lamp or use more constructive techniques by distributing sources around the perimeter. The ideal option would be to place the device next to the mirror and the presence of a ceiling chandelier.
LED lamps have become in demand, which are also used in small areas with a single placement in the middle of the ceiling. Most often, local light is mounted at the same distance. The mirror is framed on the sides and is intensely illuminated, but the use of strip versions is most acceptable. The design allows you to independently adjust the brightness and choose colors according to your mood.

In automatic mode, it will change smoothly, promoting relaxation; with the manual method, anchor the desired light tone. No one bothers you to enjoy yourself in an orange bathtub under the magical blue light of the starry sky or install lights for the faucet and shower. Against such a background, any design will sparkle. Any color and style in the bathroom will be ideal if you are in harmony with yourself and with them. Experiment and, going beyond the boundaries of stereotypes, you will find yourself in a beautiful reality.
