Blue is a calming and soothing colour, making it the go-to choice if you're looking to create a bathroom where you can relax. Muted blues will freshen up a small bathroom, while navy and cobalt colours are stylish choices if you're looking for more sophisticated blue bathroom ideas.

Dark Blue Bathroom Colour Schemes

Navy blue might seem too overwhelming for a smaller bathroom, but dark shades can be put to good use in any space. Richer shades add depth and warmth while pairing well with all-white bathroom suites and metallic fittings.

Interested in using a darker palette to create a blue bathroom to be proud of? Below are a handful of our favourite paint colours.

If you're looking to create a more luxurious bathroom, it's best to stick to inky blue shades and dark navy hues.

A paint colour like Indigo L429 will work well in large blue bathrooms, although you still use it effectively in a smaller space like a powder room. If you don't want to overdo it, think about using this one sparingly to create a jaw-dropping focal point.

Dark blue walls are all well and good, but you'll need a more muted shade to offset all that colour. If you're looking for the perfect counterpoint to an inky blue shade, go for a lighter hue like Prince G490. With hints of grey, this colour will coordinate nicely with bathroom suites and makes a fine substitute for classic white when tackling those finishing touches.

A blue colour scheme always works well in a bathroom. However, if you're aiming to avoid a more traditional bathroom interior, playing around with contrasting shades might be something to consider.

Start with a dark blue like Nocturne N348 to set a sophisticated ambience. This dusky blue has bags of contemporary character and will instantly elevate your space.

Of course, you'll balance things out with something lighter. White floor tiles can go a long way in opening up your space. Meanwhile, a neutral paint colour like Gardenia F309 will bring contrast with its delicate yellow undertones.

Blue is an incredibly versatile colour, so you've plenty of choices when it comes to selecting accents for your dream bathroom interior.

To round things off, use a paler shade like Bungalow G500. This subtle take on blue is underscored with a hint of grey, which will blend effortlessly with darker walls and an all-white bathroom suite.

Light Blue Bathroom Colour Schemes

If your bathroom is on the smaller side, a light blue colour scheme may be the best way to go. The right shade of blue will easily compensate for a lack of square footage while breathing new life into a tired space.

Some blues are incredibly rejuvenating, making them an effective choice for bathrooms. A light blue shade like Cumulus Y354 will bring a calming ambience to your space, working nicely alongside a classic bathroom suite.

To add some depth to your space, use a colour like Lotus F448. This soft green hue has subtle hints of grey, making it a superb substitute for pure white. If you want to make more of a statement, think about introducing a blue vanity unit to your bathroom.

If your home is more contemporary, you'll probably want to experiment with more vibrant blue shades. A medium blue like Sky J356 will make a welcome addition to a more modern bathroom. Use it to paint every wall, or offset with a more muted blue or off-white shade.

Need some accent colour inspiration? How about Angelica F452? This stunning neutral colour has hints of apple green, adding a subtle note of freshness to your bathroom decor.

Pastel colours are a good choice for any bathroom. As well as being as easy on the eye, they're incredibly versatile, pairing nicely with a multitude of textures and design accents.

Start with a pastel blue like Forget Me Not H353 to paint your walls. If you want to add more depth to your space, think about laying down blue tiles or giving your bathroom cabinetry a new lick of paint.

Although pastel blues work well with a variety of colours, there's no better match than classic white. To keep things simple, choose a pure white shade like Paper F497 for decorating room accents and applying those finishing touches.
