When dealing with a petite bathroom, many people default to all white everything. But the right bold colors can make a small space feel vibrant, inviting and surprisingly expansive. Don’t be afraid to embrace audacious hues – they allow your tiny bathrooms to live large. Here are some of my favorite punchy colors for maximizing the wow factor.
Nothing perks up a tiny bathroom like an energizing lime green. Benjamin Moore Hi-Lite Green is a vivid shade reminiscent of gummy bear candies and electric Lilypads. Use it on an accent wall or vanity for an invigorating dose of color.
Balance a punchy lime green wall with plenty of bright white. Opt for glossy white subway tiles on the opposing walls and shower surround. A white pedestal sink prevents the space from feeling too overwhelming. Stainless steel hardware adds to the modern, vibrant aesthetic.
Make a small bathroom feel instantly chic with a dramatic cobalt blue wall or vanity. Benjamin Moore’s Aeronautical Blue evokes tropical lagoons and starry skies. Accent with metallic finishes.
Allow cobalt blue to feel glamorous by pairing it with gleaming metallics. Polished nickel or brass faucets, sconces and drawer knobs provide eye-catching contrast. Add mirrored cabinets to reflect more light. Crisp white subway tiles balance the bold blue beautifully.
An accent wall in an energetic coral shade instantly infuses cheer into a petite bath. Benjamin Moore Caliente evokes desert sunsets and papaya cocktails. Use it on one focal wall to avoid overwhelm.
Prevent vibrant coral from feeling too loud by adding organic textures and white accents. A woven rattan bin provides natural contrast. Try wood shelving and a framed mirror above the vanity. White subway tiles on the remaining walls keep the space feeling fresh and bright.
Nothing says happiness like a radiant daffodil yellow. Benjamin Moore Buttercup infuses a small bath with warmth and positivity. Use it on walls or cabinetry for an instant mood boost.
Balance glowing yellow walls and vanities with plenty of bright white. Crisp white subway tiles prevent the space from feeling overwhelming. Try white pedestal sinks, mirrors and towels. Stainless steel or nickel bath fixtures also complement yellow beautifully.
For a playful, vintage aesthetic, a retro grass green hits all the right notes. Benjamin Moore Minty Fresh is a quirky, cheerful hue reminiscent of milkshakes and sock hops. Use on walls, vanities or tiles.
Have fun with a retro grass green backdrop by adding black and white geometric details. Black and white checkerboard floor tiles provide punchy contrast. Try using a black and white patterned shower curtain and towels. Glossy white subway wall tiles balance the daring green shade beautifully.
Tiny bathrooms allow you to get creative with bold colors in ways you can’t in wide open spaces. Vivid greens, sunny yellows, punchy blues and coral tones bring energy and vibrancy to petite powder rooms and master baths. Don’t be shy – embrace daring colors in surprising places! What bold hue would you try in a small but mighty bathroom?
