30 Blue Bathroom Vanity Ideas to Inspire Your Next Project
Blue is a color known for having a calming and soothing effect, making it a popular choice for rooms like bedrooms and bathrooms. Plus, with endless shades and tones, there’s a blue color to suit every design style, from coastal to modern and everything in between.
Opting for a blue vanity is a great way to go if you want to add a touch of blue to your bathroom without color-drenching the space. Here are 30 blue bathroom vanity ideas from simple to stunning to inspire your next project.
Try Navy Blue
Are you looking to create a soothing and serene space? You can’t go wrong with navy blue in the bathroom. This project by Dorling Design Studio features a striking navy blue vanity, a patterned tile floor, and a matching navy tile feature in the shower. The result is colorful and eye-catching without being overwhelming.
Go for a Coastal Look
Blue is a classic option for coastal designs, so if you’re going for a coastal theme, you can’t go wrong with a blue vanity. Luckily, nearly any shade of blue will work, from navy blue to light blue and everything in between.
Pair Blue and White
Blue and white is another classic pairing that looks great every time, and there are so many iterations you can go with. Try stark white with navy blue for a crisp, clean look, or go for a more rustic, earthy look with off-white and a muted shade of blue.
Accent Bold Black and White Floor Tile
Balance out a bold black and white floor tile with an equally eye-catching blue vanity, as seen in this project by Priscilla Frost of Emily Henderson Design. The dark blue vanity helps to pull the eyes upwards and expand the color palette of the space. Finish off the room with coordinating blue decor and accessories.
Opt for a Pastel Shade
Dark shades of blue may be popular in the bathroom but they certainly aren’t the only way to go. Pastel blues are a great option for those looking for something a little softer and sweeter for their space. Pair it with plenty of similarly light colors and delicate accents for an elegant space that will never go out of style.
Paint Your Slim-Profile Vanity Blue
If your bathroom is a bit cramped for space and you have a slim-profile vanity, painting it blue is a great way to make it pop so it doesn’t get lost. We love the way Four Brothers Design + Build chose a shade of blue to match the gorgeous floor tiles.
Pair Pastel Blue and Stainless Steel
Pastel blue shades paired with stainless steel hardware and accents offers a fresh, clean look that never goes out of style. This bathroom also features plenty of simple mirrored finishes to keep the space feeling bright, which is always a good choice.
Pair Navy and Gold
Navy and gold is a classic pairing that goes well with numerous different design styles. This chic bathroom by Julia Adele Design features a navy blue vanity with gold hardware, glass accents, and plenty of white for a clean and sophisticated finish.
Go Dark and Sleek
Try a dark vanity with sleek lines and hardware for a clean, sophisticated look. This bathroom project by Lola Tucker Interiors pairs a small dark blue vanity with a fun floor tile and dark blue half wall. The final look is equally modern and playful.
Match the Floors
Are you looking for something a little different? Paint your vanity to match your blue floor tile as demonstrated in this project by Four Brothers Design + Build. Keeping your color palette limited (dark blue, black, and white) will result in a space that feels minimalist and modern, with a fun pop of color.
Make a Splash With Teal
Navy is a classic choice for bathrooms but it certainly isn’t the only way to go. If you want to make a bigger and brighter statement, why not give teal a try? This bathroom showcases how teal cabinetry and tile can be paired with black hardware and plenty of white for a cool, modern look that we love.
Pair a Blue Vanity With Coordinating Wallpaper
Wallpaper is a great choice for bathrooms if you are looking to add some extra fun and personality to your space, and this bathroom proves it. Accent your blue vanity by installing some coordinating wallpaper as seen in this bathroom space by Elizabeth Rees, co-founder of Chasing Paper.
Accent With Blue Furniture
Go all-in on blue by adding coordinating blue furniture to your bathroom like a vanity stool or bench. Keep the space from looking too monochromatic by choosing blue furniture in matching tones but differing shades.
Go for a Pastel Minty Blue
Looking for some subtle color? Try a pastel shade of minty blue for a barely-there effect that will keep your space feeling light and bright. Pair it with plenty of white and stainless steel accents for a glamorous, modern-leaning space with a luxurious feel.
Try a Color-Drenched Look
Color drenching is having a moment right now thanks to its ability to create calming, serene interiors. It’s popular in numerous areas of the home, but we think it’s particularly appropriate for the bathroom, especially if you have a small space. Done right, color drenching can even make small rooms feel bigger.
Add an Accent Wall Behind the Vanity
Make your blue vanity pop even more by adding an accent wall behind it. This bathroom features a tile accent wall, but you could use wallpaper, wall paneling, or even paint to give it some extra punch.
Go for a Modern Look
If modern design is your thing then dark shades of blue are undoubtedly the way to go. Take some inspiration from this project by M Studio Interior Design. A dark navy color palette, angular lines, minimal decor, and plenty of metal finishes are just a few things that make this modern blue bathroom work so well.
Try Blue With Black Accents
Blue and gold may be a classic pairing but you can’t go wrong with black hardware and accents. Black may not be the first color that comes to mind when determining what to pair with your blue vanity, but it’s a great way to give your space a clean, sophisticated look.
Opt for Slate Blue
Slate blue is a great choice for neutral lovers looking to add just a touch of color. This gray-toned blue comes in various shades depending on how light or dark you are willing to go. Try pairing dark slate blue paint with dark-toned wood and gold hardware for a sophisticated, eye-catching look.
Go for the Farmhouse Look
Blue may not be one of the first colors to come to mind when you think of farmhouse design, but it’s an excellent choice if you are ready to give it a chance. Opt for a farmhouse-style vanity and then choose a subdued shade of blue to stay true to the style.
Try Robin’s Egg Blue
Robin’s egg blue is a soft and sweet shade that is an excellent choice for bathrooms. It can be dressed up or down and goes well with various different design aesthetics. We love the bold choice to pair it with black in this stunning bathroom by Sarah Cain Design.
Pair Navy Blue and Marble
You can’t go wrong with a marble countertop, but it looks especially striking when paired with a dark blue vanity as seen in this bathroom design. Complement the white marble with bright white knobs on the cabinet doors and drawers to finish off the look.
Add a Pop of Color With a Floating Vanity
Floating vanities are popular for small bathrooms and powder rooms since they can make a room feel more spacious. If you’re looking to add some blue to your bathroom, a floating vanity provides the perfect opportunity to add a fun and unexpected pop of color, as seen in this project by Flax Interiors.
Try Blue on Blue
Is eclectic style your thing? If so, incorporating several shades of blue into your space may be the way to go. Take some inspiration from this bathroom by Julia Chasman, which features a teal blue vanity and shower tile, a blue-tinted countertop and backsplash, and contrasting blue wall paint.
Ground a Busy Wallpaper
The perfect way to ground and balance a busy wallpaper is by creating another strong focal point in the space, like a blue vanity. We love how California Daydreams Design outfitted this small powder room with an eye-catching blue and white wallpaper and dark blue vanity. Talk about dreamy.
Create Balance With an Ombre Backdrop
Similarly, pairing an ombre accent wall with a blue vanity in a coordinating color is a great way to create a sense of balance in your space. In this bathroom, the vertical ombre accent wall is grounded using a dark blue vanity that matches the darkest (and highest) shades of blue. The finished look draws attention to the gorgeous vaulted ceilings without feeling too top-heavy.
Compliment a Half Wall Design
Featuring a blue vanity below a wallpapered half-wall design is a great way to complement the colors in the wallpaper while encouraging the eyes to travel around the space. Simply match the color of your vanity to the blue in your wallpaper to get the look.
Go for a Fluted Design
Fluted doors are a great way to add some extra texture and visual interest to your bathroom vanity. Paint them a dark, almost black shade of blue for a sophisticated yet fun look as seen in this project by Isy’s Interiors.
Try Cornflower Blue
In this small bathroom design, a cornflower blue vanity paired with floral decor and white shiplap walls creates a sweet country look that we love. This cheery shade of blue is great for bathrooms, especially if you want to add a touch of whimsy and playfulness to your space.
Try a Blue Wall Mounted Sink
Add a pop of unexpected color to your bathroom with a blue wall-mounted sink. This project by Desiree Burns Interiors features a light blue wall-mounted sink that adds an eclectic touch to an otherwise neutral black-and-white space.
