Quite a bit goes into designing a bathroom, from picking out high-end appliances to getting the lighting scheme down. But the overall look relies on color – and the palette you choose can change the feel of a space in a second. 

Whether you're looking for a bit of bold contrast or a serene room for relaxation, the bathroom's final colour scheme speaks volumes. And while you'll want to ensure your space is timeless, looking to the most popular colors designers are loving right now is always a good place to start.

Earthy Hues

These earthy interiors truly shine when complemented by bright, natural lighting. According to Trish Knight, interior designer and co-founder of Knight Varga Interiors, many people are looking for that atmosphere in primary bathroom redesigns this year.

'The neutral colours are going warmer, such as creamy whites, taupes and blush or peach tones. This colour palette pairs beautifully with unlacquered brass fixtures, light oak cabinetry and bold natural stone slabs,' says Trish.
