Interior Décor New Haven, CT: The 5 Trendy Bathroom Colors Of the Year

10 December 2020

The bathroom must be enveloped in an atmosphere conducive to relaxation. To welcome us gently when we wake up and relax after work, the choice of colors is essential. This year, the palette of shades is moving between classic and bold. In this article, we share an overview of the five trendy colors in the bathroom this year.

White: Invaluable To Illuminate the Bathroom

Symbolizing purity, white remains the preferred color for repainting the bathroom this year. This sure value goes through the years without ever going out of fashion thanks to the many qualities with which it is endowed. In addition:


  • White gives an impression of cleanliness to the bathroom, an image that could not be more suited to this place exclusively reserved for hygiene.
  • This clear and luminous shade creates a feeling of volume in a space that does not always benefit from large dimensions.
  • White is easy to live with: it can coexist with all other colors.
  • This color indeed unrolls an ideal backdrop to bring cheerful notes in the room in accessories or bathroom linen.
  • This neutral shade lends itself to a total white look, from the walls to the ceiling, including bathrooms and furniture.

Black: Gives Character to the Bathroom

After having ignored black for a long time, designers are now bold in inviting it into the bathroom. By decorating the floor and the walls in black, you will give your bathroom a crazy elegance and a unique identity that will make a sensation with your guests. By combining it with white (window frames, black and white cement tiles on the floor), you will get a very contemporary look. A touch of gray will create a nice gradient in the room while maintaining the decor’s sobriety. Contrasts can enhance the intensity of black. You can bring a balance with a few subtle touches of natural colors in the accessories and furniture: a green plant, a rattan laundry basket, a light wood vanity unit, etc.

Blue: Creates Depth in the Bathroom

This timeless color does not take a wrinkle and is firmly established in the list of acclaimed shades in 2020. As proof, Classic Blue was voted color of the year by the famous Pantone brand. Blue blends elegantly with the water features, to which it instills a relaxing and serene atmosphere. It is the right color to start the day gently and to relax in the evening. Blue will also diffuse a pleasant feeling of freshness in the bathroom. In recent years, a range of shades has been developed by colorists. On the design side, the light intonations have given way to darker shades, which give the room an impression of depth. Petrol blue, duck blue, midnight blue … the color sometimes tends towards the very dark, bordering black. For a super trendy style, choose a combination of blue and white. A blond wooden vanity unit will bring the final touch to this very modern set.

Pastel, for a Touch of Glamour

Pastel shades are trendy today for the soft and relaxed atmosphere they create in the bathroom. Abandoning the somewhat old-fashioned image that it has long reflected, the pink interferes in a decoration shrouded in nostalgia. Its romance theme suits the bathroom in many ways.
