Every shade of this versatile color evokes calm, yet each brings a unique message to the table — or the wall, or the floor, or the vanity.

Bask In Beachy Blues

Nothing screams beach like seashells and shades of blue — especially ones that reflect the depths of the ocean and the sun-bathed waves that wash up on shore. Tile accentuates that beach house feel.

Mix In Metallics

We can't get over the way gold shines against a vibrant shade of blue. A vintage gold mirror and sketched blue patterns give this bathroom a beautiful makeover.

Dazzle With Jewel Tones

Jewel tones are just as suitable for your bathroom as your primary bedroom. “Powder rooms should be treated like the jewel box of your home," says Heather Disabella of Heather Disabella Interior Design in Washington, D.C.

Play With Patterns

We all know how difficult it is to pair different patterned wallpapers. But wall texture, like this 'tongue and groove' paneling, easily complements patterned wallpaper without clashing.

Give Shiplap Its Moment

Tealy blue + rustic shiplap = the vintage bathroom of your dreams. One of the best traits of blue is that it pairs with nearly every other color — white, red, tan, green, you name it!

Say Hello To Baby Blue

Don't underestimate a subtle statement. Sometimes, you just need a wall color to fly under the radar. Baby blue is perfect: It makes a room feel calm without drawing attention to itself.

Lean On Warmer Tones

Pinks and oranges, reds and yellows — all these colors pair beautifully with the right shade of blue. Here, coral pink and baby blue are the ultimate power duo.

Make Surprising Selections

Blue and white have stood the test of time. Their harmonious marriage is one of the most flattering color schemes for your Southern bathroom.

Double Up

Blue is one of the most versatile hues in the interior design world. Light blue, dark blue, gray-ish blues, green-ish blues — the options are almost limitless, especially because blues pair well with each other.

Bring Back Retro Patterns

You can't go wrong with a nostalgic pattern or two in a Southern bathroom. Blue is less common in vintage color schemes, allowing you to surprise guests.

Dig Into Darker Tones

Darker blues are often neglected in bathroom design, but darker colors hide blemishes and create depth and drama, especially when paired with white furnishings.

Go All In

Teal is an energizing, brightening color — perfect for a bathroom. Paint all the walls and ceiling this stunning color for maximum impact.

Let The Outside Lead

Look to Mother Nature for inspiration from plants, florals, and more. In this bathroom, blue pairs with a variety of materials, so you don't need to worry about which woods or marbles to use.

Subtle Tones

This unique vanity almost resembles a cloud — a fitting element for this soothing blue bathroom. Feminine light blues are ideal for creating the perfect calming powder room.

Something In The Middle

If you're looking for a blue that invokes modernity without being overwhelming, slate blue is your color. This timeless shade pairs well with dark woods, white furnishings, and different metal finishes.

Bring Out Blue Accents

Want to incorporate some blue without comprising your wall color? Consider painting your bathroom furnishings or trim blue.

Wow With Wallpaper

Who said bathrooms have to be stale and serious? Liven up your bathroom with a funky wallpaper pattern to liven up the space.

Don't Overlook Tiles

Blues shine as mosaic tiles. Outdoor light reflects beautifully on blue tiles, and a combination of calming shades create visual interest.

Look Up, Down, And All Around

Not sure where to incorporate a pop of color? Get creative and try the floor. Blue pairs well with common bathroom colors, making it ideal for a tile floor.

Accentuate Organic Elements

When it comes to a room like the bathroom, blue pairs with nearly everything, and it doesn't have to cool down or darken your space. With some light woods, natural light, white accents, and other elements, your bathroom can be bright and lively.

Turn Heads

Maybe a simple line mosaic doesn't add the visual interest you're looking for. Mosaics have a rich history and offer many patterns to choose from. The pattern above is called a Greek meander and symbolizes eternity and unity.

Simply Spectacular

Even less dramatic, soothing blues can be exciting — especially with the addition of some patterns and textures. We never would have expected shiplap and polka dots to work so well together, but we're certainly glad they do!

Provide The Right Space

Start with some blue on the floor and near the ceiling, then add blue accents in-between. Voila! Interior decor perfection. This trick works with any color and in any room, but we love it most for blue bathrooms due to their small size and the color's versatility and popularity.

Mix Modern And Vintage

Watch how well vintage elements and modern decor play together for a magical design scheme in the bathroom.

Be A Scene Stealer

Lots of bathroom furnishings and accessories are white, which means they pop against dark colors. Slate blue is just the right amount of darkness for a bathroom.

Stun With Ceramic Tile

Water-resistant, easy to clean, ceramic wall tile is your dream bathroom material. Though more common in grayscale, this light blue ceramic wall tile is stunning in a modern bathroom.

Embrace Wallpaper

We all love the ease and versatility of paint, but sometimes we just want a little bit of wow. Welcome wallpaper in your bathroom in a classic blue and white.

Look Outside For Inspiration

We find design inspiration everywhere – including outside. Some of our favorite flowers bloom in shades of blue (hydrangea, clematis, salvia, clematis, bluebonnets), so use them to choose the hue for your bathroom.

Welcome Whimsical Patterns

Solids are always good choices, but patterns can take a room from pretty to pretty spectacular. Patterns on the wallpaper, shades, and plant pots give this bathroom a cohesive look.

Open Up

Window treatments are an amazing way to bring in colors or patterns without taking on a complete room makeover. As always, we love a relaxing blue for our curtains.
