Bathroom Paint
The easiest way to alter the look of a bathroom is with the addition of paint.
It can provide a wonderful facelift for a room at little expense. You can use decorative paint finishes or a traditional paint finish.
Generally most people's bathrooms are small, therefore the colors that are selected for bathrooms are most frequently very light and airy, often soft pastels or natural neutrals, this allows the space to seem large as the light reflects making the room brighter.
If dark colors are used it encloses the space as much of the light is absorbed.
White is probably the most common color used, but it does provide a great base for adding accents, be it accessories ie towels, soaps etc or borders and stencilled friezes etc.
