BLUE IS BETTER!!



Blue is calming, blue is the color of the sky, blue reminds us of the Caribbean, and blue looks great with white!!

So for something new this month I am showcasing blue bathrooms! To get away from the same old same old, and get back to designing a space that you are going to enjoy not what a potential buyer will like.

Traditionally when we think of bathroom renovations we think white, and neutrals but what about that beautiful baby blue or royal blue? There are so many different ways to dress your bathroom in blue. From Country, to Minimalist, and Victorian blue can be used in all facets of design.

Another misconception is that in order to have a beautiful bathroom is needs to be large. Not true!! Small bathrooms can be dressed up to look like showpieces with a little creativity and a little work.



Here in this royal blue beauty they used two his and hers large pedestal sinks with enough room for soaps and toiletries, and again lots of white trim for contrast against the strong blue color. They opted to pain the ceiling the same color as the walls, placing a simple crown molding to show the separation between the walls and ceiling. The floor tile was done in stone and kept neutral so as not to overwhelm but it does have subtle blue vein's running through it.




There are a lot of different options out on the market today to make your bathroom yours and something you can enjoy. Maybe its a new clawfoot tub, or beautiful glass tile. New shiny fixtures can add so much, and we can't forget light, light is often overlooked but sometimes it is as simple as adding a privacy window that lets in light but you still keep your privacy! There are many different lighting options.

So you can see there are many ideas. If you can imagine it can be done!

But blue definelty is beautiful for a bathroom!

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me I would be happy to answer!
