When it comes to bathrooms, we often see spaces rooted in blues, whites, and grays. Sure, these colors are classics for a reason and certainly are safe picks. But why not opt for something a bit different when designing your loo?
Bathrooms in particular are great spaces in which to experiment with color, due to their small size and the fact that they're easily concealed behind closed doors. One vibrant hue that we're absolutely loving in the bathroom lately? Red.
While unexpected, red truly makes a stylish statement, and it looks fabulous when paired with more traditional accent colors, like black, white, and gold. So grab a paintbrush, hang some red patterned wallpaper, or install a red vanity—no matter what you do, we're sure you'll love the bold effect.
If you need some further inspiration as you begin to plan out your own red bathroom, you've come to the right place. Read on to view images of 20 inspiring red bathrooms. There's something that truly appeals to every style: vintage-inspired, modern, grandmillennial...you name it.

Another burgundy bathroom looks super glam with the inclusion of an ornate gold mirror.
If your bathroom features a builder-grade mirror that's just so-so, swap it out for a piece that truly reflects your style and the aesthetic you wish to achieve. A seemingly basic transformation can really make a world of difference.

20 Red Living Room Ideas That Will Never Go out of Style
10 ways to create a bold statement |

Contemplating red bathroom ideas? While the color might sound like a dramatic choice, it’s actually a hue that’s easy to live with, and definitely worth your consideration.
So if you’re considering a red bathroom or simply looking for inspirational bathroom ideas to kickstart your bathroom remodel, thinking outside of the box can really pay off.
Red bathroom ideas
If you're considering bathroom color ideas, red is a versatile shade.
Red bathroom decor might be used as an atmospheric backdrop, as a cocooning accent, or you might pick a sophisticated tint to play with the attributes of the color. Use these red bathroom ideas as your starting point.
1. Team a patterned floor with red painted shiplap

'More often than not, our bathrooms are neutral spaces with neutral fixtures and tiling, so introducing red shades here is ideal for adding that wow-factor,' says Emma Deterding, founder and creative director, Kelling Designs . 'A beautiful color that's full of energy, it can liven up even the dullest of spaces, and although it's often seen as a tricky color to use, the bathroom offers the perfect opportunity to introduce this bold shade.'
'If you are brave enough, opt for a patterned tile with red accents on the floor and then use a complementary red paint on your walls or panelling. Painting the panelling allows the walls to stay neutral, giving that all important balance whilst creating a beautiful and cohesive scheme.
If, however, you don't feel comfortable going all out, adding pops of red with accessories such as your towels will help to introduce the color in a more subdued way, bringing life into your bathroom with ease.'

There are endless bathroom tile ideas to choose from – in every color, shape and size imaginable.
Here, a colorful tiled accent wall at the end of a small bathroom will draw the eye through, ensuring every inch gets noticed. Patterned tiles are a really effective way to introduce color, which can then be picked up on accessories, towels and even sanitaryware.
‘Color is being embraced in small bathrooms in a big way right now,’ says designer, Katie Agombar from West One Bathrooms.
3. Introduce red through wallpaper

Bathroom wallpaper ideas are a brilliant way to introduce red color, pattern and personality into your home. Being one of the smaller rooms in the home and serving a practical purpose, bathrooms are the perfect place to experiment with bold colors, especially through wallpaper.
Decorating with pattern can be daunting, but pattern can work in any room no matter the size, it’s often just about getting the scale right that’s key. If you have a large room consider a statement landscape mural or a large-scale design where the prints can shine.
Finally, mirror the color with your chosen accessories for a truly tailored look.
4. Match your red vanity to a bold chinoiserie wallpaper

Chinoiserie is a brilliant way to bring exoticism, opulence and timeless charm to a luxury bathroom.
The Chinoiserie trend has witnessed a surge in popularity in recent years, with today's wallpapers offering a wealth of ornate decorative designs to add a statement to your bathroom.
'I really love this Schumacher chinoiserie wallpaper we used in this bathroom, I paired it with a custom-made red lacquer double vanity unit to really brighten the room,' says Henriette von Stockhausen, creative director at VSP Interiors .
5. Invest in a stunning slab of red textured granite

'We have noticed a trend towards more terrazzo looking surfaces in the bathroom, or what we call in the stone world ‘brecciate stones’, which is a bit more of a retro look, a move away from the plain to something a bit busier in structure and brighter in color,' says Oliver Webb, director at Cullifords .
'Yes, white marble bathroom ideas are still the most popular choice, but we are seeing more and more designers and clients experimenting with color and pattern. When it comes to bathrooms, we are noticing a strong tendency to statement ‘wow factor’ pieces, as people want something distinctive and one-off.'
6. Create a scarlet red tiled shower wall

'Often we love our existing bathroom scheme's but want to give it a little refresh – tiling a shower wall using red patterned tiles will give it just that and add a bold statement to the space at the same time,' says Lucy Searle, global editor in chief, Homes & Gardens.
Aside from the practicality of shower tile ideas, the availability of tiling in a wide array of shower-fit materials, from porcelain and glass, to ceramic and stone, as well as colors, shapes, sizes and finishes, means that the design possibilities are endless.
Bathroom tiles are both waterproof and washable, making them perfect for the walls of walk-in showers, showers with trays, and for the floors of wet rooms, too.
7. Go for an all encompassing look

Bathroom color ideas might not be the first element you think of when planning a new scheme, but it should certainly not be an afterthought.
'Embracing strong color, when designed as part of the flow of the rest of a home, can produce joyful results, as shown in this dark bathroom scheme,' says Jennifer Ebert, digital editor, Homes & Gardens. 'Alternatively, color-blocking is a great technique for anyone keen to test strong paint colors without over-committing.

8. Paint your tub red to enhance its impact

'Painting a freestanding bath in a strong, dominant color is the perfect way to make a statement in your bathroom and there are few colors stronger than red,' says James Lentaigne, creative director at Drummonds. 'Red is a vibrant, stimulating and exciting color that works surprising well with a whole host of other colors including green, white, tawny-orange, grey, blue and black.
The benefit of painting your bath in a rich color such as red is that it is a relatively easy and inexpensive way to change the color when you tire of it or want a different feel.'
9. Experiment with color in a small powder room

If you've got your eye on an all-too-pricey wallpaper consider using it in a powder room instead of a larger space. This stylized design with its red background will be fabulous addition and is easy to match accessories to.
Restricting the rest of the paintwork to muted tones makes the statement color feels more impactful.
Best of all, small injections of saturated color are easy to update.
10. Tone it down with pink

Pink room ideas really do work well in small doses. This controversial hue can actually form a reliable background color, as long as you find the right tone for the space and the light.
'With red and pink being such a naturally bold shade, it can be beneficial to introduce it in smaller ways – patterned encaustic tiles behind the basin and a pretty floral blind, for example,' says Andrea Childs, editor, Country Homes & Interiors. 'If you like it, you can add more and progress to red painted walls and cabinetry.'
What color goes with red in a bathroom?
Pairing colors in shower rooms, powder rooms and bathrooms can be tricky because space is often limited and so color clashes are highlighted. Take advantage of the color wheel to make things easier. The wheel lets you see at a glance how colors relate to each other visually and is used by interior designs all over the world.
Opposite colors – say red and green – are complementary, whilst picking colors from the same palette, such as pink and red, will blend beautifully in the bathroom. Play around till you find your perfect color combination.

Bathroom Ideas American Paints, The Right Color Choice
Perfect your main and important spa sanctuary, a colorful powder room that will impress your loved ones and guests. Transforming your bathroom is easy with a powerful combination of the right color and premium paint.
Goodbye shiny bathrooms. Hello rich, beautiful matte finish in any paint color. Now paints for wet rooms are available in a matte finish, and soapy water stains, splashes and drops are easily washed off from them.
Small Bathroom, Big View
Your bathroom is your private space and an area where "my time" is of paramount importance. Create a spa space with a soothing paint color that nurtures peace and relaxation. For visual flow, be sure to choose paint colors that have the same cool or warm undertone as the walls in the next room (hallway, living room).
A modest and sometimes small space always makes it a challenge to play with color, and this does not depend on the size of the room. The right combination of deeper, richer colors and the right lighting can bring a lot of ambiance to a small bathroom space. Experiment.… Have fun: try painting the ceiling in an unexpected color, like the color of a fruit cocktail. And highlight shelves for storing towels or other bathroom accents in matte black or deep blue.
These dark shades create a striking contrast with white or off-white tiles or walls. In the past, only glossy or semi-gloss paints could be used in wet rooms to avoid unsightly effects of moisture (streaks, stains) in the bathroom. But there are a large number of matte paints that can be used in wet areas. They provide exceptional durability, color retention and mildew resistance in high humidity environments. Matte finishes add a soft touch to bathrooms where hard surfaces such as tiles, mirrors and metal fixtures abound.
Looking for a higher gloss in your bathroom?
Be aware that paint with a higher finish or gloss can create an overabundance of gloss, especially when combined with typical bathroom surfaces (tiles, tiles). Neutral colors are always a time-tested, excellent choice. Soft pinks and blushes are popular alternatives to snowy whites. Greenery can be incredibly soothing in a bathroom, but in some cases it can turn out to be a rich hue if the intensity of the color is high.
Yellow: While soft yellow complements many types of marble, wood, and tile, some yellows can be too saturated or bright for a small bathroom space.
A pint-sized bathroom gives you the opportunity to use strong color and transform a modest space. You can ignore the flow of color from room to room thanks to the bathroom's closed door policy, making it the perfect place to get creative with color.
No natural light? Do not worry. Bright, rich colors can complement artificial light sources to make a powerful style statement. Don't be afraid to create color contrast: the back panel can be in gray, it gives a cool industrial touch to this small space when it is paired with a cheerful blue wall.
Always check your color options as lighting affects how the paint color reads and it's individual!

Bathroom paint: painting a stylish bathroom
Think bathroom paint is limited to white or blue? Take a look at the latest bathroom paint color trends and think again...
Bathroom paint colors can vary. One factor in this diversity is that we all love white bathroom fixtures that work well with many colors. Also, if you're creating a stylish bathroom on a budget, you might not want to spend too much on new wall or floor tiles. Why not give your bathroom a makeover with some new paint?
What colors to choose for bathrooms?
What shade of paint should I choose for my bathroom? Light colors will certainly make the room lighter and more spacious. However, if you get a lot of natural daylight in the room, there's no reason not to use a dark shade. In addition, in such a case, you must provide enough artificial lighting so that the room is well lit at night.
The light reflected by the color of the walls is also important.
As for the finish, it goes without saying that the paint must be able to withstand moisture and splashes. Ideally, bathroom paint should be mildew resistant and suitable for the surface you're using it on, whether that's walls, woodwork, furniture, or even floors.
Warm Natural Bathroom Paint
If your bathroom has no window, faces north, or has a small window, it may suffer from poor natural daylight. As a result, she may look cold and unfriendly. You can fix this by choosing a good paint color: deep spicy hues softened with muted natural tones give the bathroom a cozy feel. Make sure the brighter shades are natural and not citrusy. Plus, pair them with natural material flooring and beautifully finished dark wood furniture for a complete look.
Mix coral with gray for a vintage feel
Pink bathroom paint continues to gain popularity. In the past few years, moving from traditional girls' bedrooms to living quarters has made its way to bathrooms.
How to get the right shade of pink? For vintage-inspired bathrooms like this one, choosing an accent tone of coral and pairing it with gray creates a cozy look.
Yellow bathroom paint: be trendy
If you have a modern bathroom and are a big fan of bright, bold decorative walls, why not embrace the yellow bathroom paint trend? Paint just one wall, or paint the entire room, including the bathtub, if you like!
Beige Bathroom Paint
Bathrooms can be cold and unattractive when they are decorated in pure white. But add a touch of creamy brown to a bright white and you have a warm neutral. It makes the room glow in the light of a lamp even on cloudy days. And, if you want to switch colors in a room, you can do it with an ever-changing set of colorful towels.
Aquamarine Bathroom Paint
Blue can be a cool shade that doesn't work best in a bathroom. Although often the owners of bathrooms make a choice in his favor.
But you can do it right if you choose a warm shade of blue. In other words, one that has a decent dose of yellow.
Pink bathroom paint
Love pink? It can be used in different variations: from rich pink to delicate powder. You can paint one wall or the whole room. It will look very stylish and modern, as this shade is actively coming into fashion.
Choose a bright blue for a contemporary style
If your bathroom has enough light, you can afford to go for a deep blue hue. Just keep all other surfaces, from plumbing to woodwork, white and bright. This vibrant royal blue perfectly bridges the gap between modernity and tradition. It is perfect for a nautical style in the bathroom.
Do you want to feel country style? Choose a pale green shade
If you prefer a country style bathroom, choosing a paint color in a natural tone and pairing it with wood and soft creamy white will give you the effect you want.
Purple bathroom paint: add a twist to your style
If you are tired of the proverbial colors and want something unusual and bright, then you should try this shade.
In combination with white sanitary ware and wooden elements, this shade will create a special noble mood in your bathroom.
Peach small bathroom
Yes, a small bathroom. See how the color plays and the peach bath looks. The room looks big and saturated. This color does not visually steal your space. It, combined with white fixtures, looks great in a well-lit small bathroom.
Delicate bathroom paint blue: traditional and timeless
If you want your bathroom to remain trendy and modern, look to traditional blue. Paint manufacturers today have made sure that you can choose exactly the blue shade that you need. Blue color goes well with white sanitary ware and bright accessories of various colors.
Bathroom Paint Red: Large Bathroom Option
For a large, well-lit bathroom, an interesting option would be to consider shades of red. Of course, this bathroom paint will not work for all spaces. And in a small, poorly lit bathroom, this is likely to be an unsuitable option.
