Decorating the bathroom: matching furniture and wall colors

The time has come to furnish the bathroom, an important room where people seek well-being and relax.
Furnishing a bathroom is never simple, neither from the point of view of layout and use intelligent spaces, nor from a stylistic point of view. One of the biggest doubts? It is often like match the color of the walls with the furniture.
What color should I choose for the bathroom without regretting it over time? And how do I imagine the right matches between walls and furniture? There is no precise rule, but some expedients will help you to choose the perfect color.

Size and surface area

First, some preliminaries should be considered: colors are never absolute entities. Perception or color rendering in fact depend on a number of factors, including the degree of brightness of the environment, the surface (understood as both size and matter), the (color) matches with furniture and accessories and the incidence of light. Let’s give some examples: if we have a small and perhaps dimly lighted bathroom environmental, the advice is to use light tone colors such as white, beige or a light gray. By doing so, you will be able to take advantage of the brightness of the color to increase the light the environment.

If, on the other hand, we otherwise have a larger and more well-lit venue, we can play with urban tones like the example below.

Dark tones “release” light into the room, making the environment more enveloping and giving us the feeling of being “pampered” by the surrounding room.

Style: the environment must tell a story, yours.

Do you have a feisty, rebellious personality or do you prefer to walk safe paths? Tell it also through the decor and color of your bathroom. Remember that the bathroom is the environment in which each of us desires to feel comfortable, at peace with oneself.
The composition of Lavarredo by Xilon, features colors with “deep” tones add up to each other, playing on the cool color range. The result is one that expresses grit, determination and rebellion, telling the story of a place with a bold and distinctive decor.

A diametrically opposite alternative may be to play on more classical tones instead, through less contrasting and more delicate juxtapositions. For example, the composition Icarus makes use of a palette composed of white and green, in which the green spirit emerges not only through the colors chosen, but especially by the delicacy of the combination.

How to reason about color between furniture and walls in the bathroom? The tone balance rule.

When designing interiors, it is always a good idea to aim for a balance of tones color, so as not to weigh down the look and achieve beautiful environments to live in.

Let’s do some examples: there are neutral hues such as black, gray, or white that, when associated with a color, make it alter visual perception by dampening its expressive power. For example, if we have a dark gray wall, and an industrial decor, the choice of flooring should fall on a clear tone, so as not to weigh down the “mood” but to accentuate the style.
We can then turn to a number of “field” choices: playing on tone on tone to have a restful and gentle effect, play on the contrast for a more dynamic and modern effect, play on enhancing a dominant element of a room (e.g., an alcove) by giving a color only to that portion of the room and generate a depth effect. Within the framework of these options, the choice between tone on tone or contrast then serves to determine “the rhythm” of the room, while the color characteristics of the combinations instead serve to express the desired personality.

One last tip for matching furniture and walls well

We’re not all interior designers: hire an expert or be inspired by the palettes colors. Fortunately, there are many palettes that help in designing a bathroom: they are color ranges juxtaposed with each other by expert interior designers specifically to suggest a color combinations and mood.
As mentioned, there are a number of accouterments for bathroom interior design and to be able to make a color scheme that can well match the colors of the furniture and the environment that compose the furniture and of the walls. However, it is also true that tastes are tastes: our advice?
