Most soaking tubs are white or almond color, leaving many options for bathroom décor. Choose color and theme of your bathroom before spending money on accessorizing. Refer to an interior decorator's secret tool -- the color wheel. Pick your primary color and go to the opposite side to pick complementary shades. Take color choice along on shopping trips to coordinate linens and other decorating items.
