Colour plays a vital part in the tone of any room and no more so than in the rooms in which we start and end our days. Science has proven that the colour of your bedroom can influence the way in which you sleep and the mood you begin your day with, and now too, more and more, we are beginning to see that the bathroom too plays it’s part.

Gone are the days when bathrooms had to be utilitarian white or a nice neutral beige, not that bathrooms in these colours are bad, but this years hottest bathroom décor colour trends now allow for you to be considerably more explorative and experimental with your bathroom. So if white is not for you, you no longer have to have it, and if it is, you can get more interesting with it!

One of the hottest bathroom décor colours this season is grey. No longer dull grey, you can lighten up a small room with a soft dove grey or tone a large bathroom in with your brand new stone bath.

Another great colour for the bathroom this season is Blue. Any shade from a deep purpley blue twilight to pale aqua would be consider hot as far as bathroom décor trends go this season.

Want a bit more warmth? Why not go for yellow? As we’ve mentioned before, this sexy little colour has slipped into our “hottest décor colour” across the board this season! And it’s one of our hottest bathroom décor colours too. Whether you go vibrant lemon, or lean more toward a gorgeous golden grain colour, yellow is a great pick for bringing so life and joy to your bathroom.

Pink pink pink is another of our favourites rated as one of 2011’s hottest bathroom décor colours. Dusky pink, or coral pink, go with a strong honeysuckle pink in larger rooms but unless you are wanting to create a very intimate and cozy bathing experience avoid the too much of this strong colour in a tiny space!
