White may be a simple color, but it has the power to brighten your space. This neutral color provides any design with a sleek and cleaner look — perfect for exuding a calm and spotless feel to your bathroom. By adding white to your bathroom’s decor (or remodeling the space with an overall polished white look) you don’t have to worry about your room looking washed out.
For a crisp and sparkly style, consider adding pearly white subway tiles to your walls. Adding off-whites throughout the space offers a warm feeling to any dark colors (including your black and white design combinations). Using white coats of paint throughout every surface maximizes the light that will seep into the room. White makes a soothing addition to any of its fellow neutral colors or vivid brights — and it’s great to incorporate for a bathroom refresh. So if you’re looking to transform your space, whether it’s large or small, see our roundup of white bathroom ideas that include modern, classic and industrial looks. Plus, you’ll find more than enough inspiration to choose the right decor for white bathrooms.
