White on White
-
For a sleek, modern look, go with white on white in your bathroom. White will give your bathroom a soothing feel; the trick to making this achromatic color scheme work is using texture. Use a lace or woven shower curtain for a pleasing look. Try a pleated shade for your window treatment. Fill glass containers with cotton balls, swabs and bath salts. Use a fluffy shag rug on the floor to add interest to your bathroom. Highlight the look with silver fixtures.
Ocean Theme
-
Bring the cool mood of the ocean into your bathroom with soothing shades of blue. Choose your favorite shades from the wide array of options for accessories. Go with a peaceful shade of blue on the walls, and use this color throughout the room for a sense of balance. Another option is wallpaper or tiles that show off your favorite blue hue. Select shower curtains, towels and rugs that highlight this color. Add spots of color with bright red, yellow or green.

Sunny Room
-
Nothing makes a bathroom sunny and bright like the color yellow. You can go with intense or pale shades of yellow, depending on the mood you want to convey. With bright yellow on the walls, you might want to go with blue and white to keep the mood cheerful. Another option is white walls with lemon yellow accessories. Use vases, artwork and bath mats that have your favorite shade of yellow in them to keep your bathroom looking as if it's filled with sunshine.
Casual Cottage
-
Give your bathroom a relaxed mood with a cottage look. Choose a palette that includes muted shades of peach, red and green. Add vintage pieces, such as frames and hardware, to enhance the cottage feel. Add antique jars, fabrics and linens for a pleasing look. Look for a lace shower curtain and window treatment combination that brings the room together.
