Is there an unimaginative, uninspired bathroom in your Boulder, CO, home? If you’re like many, you painted it a solid white to maximize the sense of space in this tiny room. Over time, you’ve tried everything from new towels to new flooring to make it look appealing, but it still lacks luster. The problem is: there is no focal point to the room.
At Jacobsen Brothers Painting, we have just the right idea to fix your pedestrian space–boosting it into an elegant place that sparks interest. Let’s break it down into steps.
Consider the use
Is this a guest bathroom? If so, you may want an accent color that adds relaxation or sophistication to the space. Is this a children’s bathroom? If so, you may want a more energetic design. How is this space used? What mood do you want to create?
Choose a focal point
First, decide where you want the focus of the room. Usually this would be the wall with the sink. Take a moment to examine this wall. Does it have an interesting mirror? If not, can you switch out the existing medicine cabinet for a showpiece mirror? Can you hang a square on a diagonal to increase interest? Can you use an attractive light fixture? Can you add a narrow ledge shelf from the edges of the sink outward, to use for accent pieces?
Choose your neutral
You were on the right track when you painted the tiny space a neutral to maximize the feeling of space. Keep going with this idea but fine-tune the neutral you want to use in this updated look. There are more neutrals available today than ever before, so take your time and find the right one.
Choose a great accent color
Now that you know where you want your accent, what kind of mood you’re going for, and what is your neutral base layer, it’s time to choose the color that will bring it all home. A nature based color will be relaxing and refreshing, like a spa. A bright color will add energy and interest.
Pick this color for the focal point of the room. We can add a broad stripe to the focal point in this color, effectively highlighting the mirror and sink from ceiling to sink level, or below. Suddenly, this everyday space will be transformed into something captivating.
Collect some interest pieces
Now comes extra fun. Pick the accessories for the bathroom. Find a rattan basket for towels, an interesting rack for toilet tissue or a tiny planter of green aloe. Continue the theme for the mood you’ve chosen and have fun decorating your fresh, new space.
