Choose a variety of browns to add depth to your space. Dark chocolates work well for trim and vanities, while lighter varieties on the walls and counters will prevent your room from being too heavy. On walls with two tones, use a dark chocolate on the bottom, balanced by a lighter color on the top.

Paint dark chocolate walls with a low sheen finish. A flat matte will absorb all your light, while a low sheen will help open your bathroom up.

Update bathroom accessories, like soap dispensers and toothbrush holders, using a contrasting color. White accessories brighten dark counters and sinks, while dark colors compliment lighter counters and sinks.

Purchase brown, tan or white towels for use in your space. While colored towels are fine, they have a tendency to disrupt your chocolate décor too much and take away from the overall effect.

Choose one color to add flair to your room, but use it sparingly. Teal, pink, spring green and light blue are all good choices. Find one piece with this color to focus on, such as a shower curtain or painting. Find a few small items of décor, like vases or candles, to coordinate.
