We're featuring stunning blue design options, but we'll also provide practical tips on how to incorporate these ideas into your existing bathroom. So let's get right into this blue inspiration and transform your bathroom into something creative and personalized.

When it comes to interior design, blue is one of the most versatile color choices available. It can be soothing or invigorating, sophisticated or casual, making it an excellent option for a space where relaxation is key. Light blues evoke  tranquility and calmness, (think clear skies and tranquil water). Ligther blues can create a serene escape in your bathroom, perfect for unwinding after a long day. 

Darker shades of blue, such as navy or cobalt, can add a touch of sophistication and drama to your space. These hues can create a bold statement, especially when paired with contrasting elements like white fixtures or gold accents. By leveraging the versatility of blue, you can  reflect your personal style in a more private space. 

Blue pairs beautifully with a variety of other colors, too. Try it with soft neutrals for a more subdued, spa-like, or casual look, or with vibrant colors for a playful maximalist vibe. The options are endless. If you know you love blue, built around your favorite shade for a guest bath, master suite, or powder room. 

One of the most dramatic ways to introduce blue into your bathroom is by using wallpaper. Add impact with patterns and colors in a way that paint simply can't, by itself. These moody blue bathroom cabinets are paired with a blue, lilac, teal and white zebra and floral wallpaper,  creates a uniqe atmosphere in this bold guest bathroom.

The zebra is SmithHönig's Moxie wallpaper and the color palette makes it extremely versatile. 

In a beach house or any home with a light, fresh feel, Moxie can be just the oomph needed in a powder room. It mixes effortlessly with natural and organic tones, and classic blue and white stripes.

It's always easier to add a bolder pattern to a bath, laundry room, powder room or other space where you spend less time. You can incorporate the boldest walls for a fun surprise, and it won't feel at all overwhelming. 

On the other hand, if you've been dreaming of something more maximalist, Moxie can fit right in, and bath or powder room is a great place to get creative.

Consider how a guest bath plays off the other rooms nearby, for instance. Thinking berry or fuchsia accents in the guest bedroom? Play with your color palette to see how you can transition between one bold color scheme, and another. 

Moxie, for instance, pairs well with pinks, browns, creams, turquoise, and more - as well as the more obvious blues and whites.

Tiles are an essential element of bathroom design, and blue tiles can make a striking statement. Subway tiles are a classic choice that can be updated with a blue twist. Consider using glossy, deep blue subway tiles for a chic, contemporary look. These tiles can be arranged in a herringbone pattern to add a unique touch to your walls. Or consider running them vertically instead of horizontally for a modern sensibility that feels a little mid-century.

Pair with a clean-lined vanity and sink, and an over the top wallpaper, for a look that feels personal and creative.

For a more traditional aesthetic, consider using blue and white patterned tiles, checkered tiles, or or blue and white floral wallpaper. 

The large, vintage-style bathroom in this French chateau, for instance, uses all three. And since the colors are so similar, the overall effect is calming and tranquil. 

If you have the space to add a piece of furniture to your bathroom, it can help create a calm and highly-personal space that invites lingering. Why not spend some time reading or touching up your nails after your shower, in a space made just for you?

Paint is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to give your bathroom a fresh new look. Want to create big change with minimal effort in a date bathroom? Paint the walls, the trim, or the cabinetry.

Kelly Roberts Bryant, the blogger and stylist behind Street Flea Style, updated her bathroom with fresh coral paint on the vanity and SmithHönig's Shibori peel and stick on the walls. She created a sophisticated global vibe with a bamboo mirror and shelf, a turquoise Quan Yin, embroidered handtowels, and abstract art.

She added blue and natural straw basketry on the walls, with spiraling shapes that mimic the shibori pattern, and added fresh flowers, and a new rug.

Consider using blue paint on cabinetry and a contrasting wallpaper or paint color. Or, keep the walls a lighter color, and paint the trim with a bolder color. 

Blue tones can bring life to your bathroom while also providing functional storage. Painting your cabinets blue can update the entire look of your bathroom without any extensive renovations. Whether it’s a soft sky blue or a bold ultramarine, painted cabinets can add instantly add a touch of personality.

Choosing the perfect shade of blue for your bathroom may seem a little overwhelming, considering the number of blue paint samples available!  Start by considering the size and natural light of your bathroom. Lighter shades may work well in smaller spaces or those with limited natural light, as they can create an illusion of openness. But rules are made to be broken, of course. Darker blues can add depth and richness, even in small spaces, so the important thing is to go with what makes you happy! 

We find that paint always looks a little lighter and a little brighter, once its on the wall. So consider choosing a color that's a few shades darker than what initially attracts you. We also think deeper, richer colors tend to age better than super bright or pastel colors. 

Think about the overall theme and style of your home, too. If your home has a coastal theme, opt for soft, watery blues. For a more modern or eclectic vibe, consider bolder shades combined with geometric patterns. 

Lastly, remember to take into account the existing fixtures and decor or anything else you don't plan to change. Are the tiles staying? Do they have a warm or cool undertone?  The shade of blue you choose should complement the other elements in your bathroom. 

Before committing to a paint color, test samples on your bathroom walls, cabinets or trim. Paint can look different in various lighting conditions, so you'll want to see how the shade interacts with natural light during different times of the day. 

If you’re looking for quick ways to incorporate blue into your bathroom design, consider a DIY project like repainting an old mirror frame in a vibrant blue. 

Another idea is to hang a beautiful blue artwork on your walls. We love framed originals or prints in a bath, since it makes the space feel more like a well-appointed room and less like an "after thought". Grander pieces work best in powder rooms where they won't be subjected to so much moisture. 

Look for blue trays, towel holders, soap dishes or figurines to add a splash of blue to your bath. A blue storage box or vase, or a blue candle, is another good option.

Choose blue towels, or a blue runner or rug for your bath to ground the space and add even more color.

In conclusion, blue is a remarkable color that offers endless possibilities for transforming your bathroom into a stylish and inviting space.
