Bathroom Vanity Color Ideas
- If your bathroom is painted with shades of beige or white, a white vanity will add a noticeable but monochromatic furniture piece to the space. A white bathroom graced with a black vanity is a classic bathroom addition, particularly when silver mirror trim or drawer handles are added. If the white vanity is installed on the wall, adding white and gray marble to the vanity counter will add new texture to the piece and cause a visually appealing break in color. For a black vanity that is separate from the wall, add a stool with a satin white cushion for an elegant color contrast.
- A vanity, detached from the wall, and painted gold or bronze, gives an air of royalty to your bathroom and will give a brown or tan bathroom a pop of color that is pleasing to the eye. Metallic vanities are also ideal if you've decorated the bathroom with jewel tones like ruby red or aubergine; adding synthetic jewels around the vanity mirror in these colors gives the furniture piece a regal feel. Paint the stool or chair for the vanity in a jewel tone, or add an eggplant-colored or emerald green cushion to the stool to complement the metal hues.
- Patterns that display color for the bathroom vanity are aesthetically pleasing and will complement the bathroom's decor theme or add a new minor theme. If you're decorating the rest of the bathroom with bronze and brown, a cheetah or leopard print vanity will become the signature piece of the bathroom. If the bathroom is black and white, a zebra-striped vanity is an ideal choice; you can add ad additional pop of color by selecting a Kelly green chair for the vanity. If the black vanity is installed onto the wall, adding red stripes along the front or sides of the vanity counter or around the mirror adds color in a way that isn't too overwhelming.
- Warm hue choices will make the bathroom more inviting and can serve as the main burst of color in the space. For instance, a yellow vanity in a bathroom decorated with black or gray will make you excited to get ready each morning; a peachy orange in a terracotta bathroom is a classy color addition, and the orange hue will help to improve your concentration so you can get your hair and makeup just right. A vanity mounted to the wall will benefit from a mirror trimmed in red or orange paint when the vanity counter and stool are painted in a muted variation of the same shade.
