Why it’s Time to Wake Up to Juicy Fruit Shades in the Bathroom
Who says bathrooms have to be white? Pep up your ablutions with a blast of vivid colour
It goes without saying that the white bathroom is a tried-and-tested classic with the interior design cognoscenti, but adding a bold accent of thirst-quenching colour is fast becoming a fave decorating tool, too. I mean, look how inviting and altogether invigorating this selection of bathrooms is, even on paper (or screen, to be precise). So imagine how powerful such a colour-packed bathroom would be in your own home.
If full-on colour is too much for your interior taste buds, then simply block out one area in turquoise, orange or lime, or even test the water with a sprinkling of zesty towels and accessories. You won’t look back, I promise.

Go colour crazy
In a kids’ bathroom, the more colour the better. Fit a patchwork of multicoloured tiles around a shower in a selection of favourite colours. (You never know, it just might encourage them to jump in the shower with less fuss…)

Try all-over colour
This bright tangerine bathroom won’t fail to wake up the sleepiest head in the mornings. Match walls and vanity units in the same hue for a cocooning effect.

Create a statement wall
Painting a single wall in a vivid colour will create a striking look for very little effort. For the best results, make sure you use paint that’s suitable for the wet, humid conditions of the bathroom. Of course, if you get bored of it, you can simply paint over it for another look altogether.

Choose a dark background
Charcoal grey is a great base shade for any juicy-fruit accent. It adds a touch of sophistication to a super-modern feature that could otherwise date in time. Here, the impact of the kiwi green shower wall is doubled thanks to the reflective power of the wall cabinets.

Drench in zesty hues
Colour phobes take cover. This beautifully designed bathroom is saturated in an eye-popping lime green, tempered only by the white grout lines and basin. Exit through the sliding door and you’re into hot pink… a colour-lover’s idea of heaven.

Transform an eyesore
Make an ugly, carbuncle of a feature the star of the bathroom with a simple lick of paint. Raid the colour charts and go wild with bright pops of colour on pipework, radiators and metal beams

Accent a shower room
Yellow is my current colour crush, so I absolutely love the chartreuse walls in this shower room. The refreshing, spirited hue is the perfect morning pick-me-up, while the duckboard shower tray warms up the modern look with just the right amount of natural wood.
