How to Mix Bathroom Faucet Colors

Faucets selection is an opportunity to express your personal style.

Give your bathroom a whimsical and quirky look. Bathroom fixtures like tubs, sinks and bidets are compatible with a wide variety of faucet colors and styles. The choices are many, from solid colors and metallic finishes to new and antique faucet designs. Towels, rugs and other colorful bathroom accessories complement the color range of faucets to bring the look together. Be creative -- there are no rules when decorating your living space.

Things You'll Need

• Digital camera
• Color printer

Instructions

1. Take pictures of all the bathroom fixtures you intend to equip with colorful faucets. Snap one up-close picture that shows the color of the tub or sink and another that shows the fixture centered in the surrounding area of the bathroom.

2. Search for faucet colors and styles online or in hardware stores. Have the photos you took in front of you. Look for the styles and colors of faucet sets that coordinate with the fixture they will be on as well as one another. Consider the finish color on the towel racks, room lighting and cabinet pulls to make faucet set selections that fit right in.

3. Take photos or print pictures of the styles and colors you are considering. Hold the full-color pictures of the faucets in place where they are to be installed. Make a final decision on your faucet colors based on the way all the bathroom decor elements fit together.
