Interior decor idea: Bright Contrast Bathroom

Add instant impact to a plain white bathroom with accessories in zingy shades, to be changes when the mood takes you.

This really is a simple and foolproof way to create a splash of colour in your bathroom – great if you’re not confident enough to paint the wall with bright colours or haven’t the time for serious decoration.

Give the walls a simple finish with white emulsion paint. This could be extended to plain floorboards too, using gloss paint. This bathroom features a free-standing suite which adds character to the room. Alternatively, a fitted suite would give the bathroom a more contemporary look.

The key to this look is the choice of bold coloured accessories. Bath mats, towels, soaps and bubble baths are great starting points as they can always be found in a good variety of colours. This look will work best if you stick to three colours which work together, such as cerise pink, aqua, yellow and blue. Complete the look with chrome accessories for a sleek finish.
