Are you sick and tired of your old plain-looking bathroom and feel like doing a radical change, but the budget is running a little tight?

If you just found yourself shouting a definitive “YES!” to that question, then the answer is simple - It’s time for a little color therapy.  Colors have proved to be more important to the eye than form itself!

You can even use colors as part of an overall scheme to make your bathroom feel bigger.

It is well known that the most calming colors are the cool ones - blues, greens, and violets.  Is it relaxation what you are looking for?  If so, then choose the more gentle side of the spectrum for your bathroom!

One thing to remember, though: Too much of a single color can in fact have a negative effect.  For example, too much of deep blue can slow you down and get you into a state of melancholy.  You don’t want that, do you?

Or here’s a tip - Try balancing a color using another different, but complementary one.  This means you might just need a splash of yellow in a violet interior or a bit of orange to sweeten the effects of blue.

Even bold colors, like red and magenta, can be kept under control with a classic white, the color of simplicity.  White gives other colors room to breathe and stop competing so much with each other.

Just think which color would make you feel better in your bathroom.  It may be the one that you like wearing most or one that you have never considered wearing simply because it does not suit your complexion.  There is a wide range of color combinations that you might never have even thought of.

For easy inspiration, visit your paint store and pick up a bunch of color swatches along with several brochures containing matched and ready to go color schemes.  Or for even more inspiration and advice, check out some of the great color resources on the web.

Here’s a great place to start choosing bathroom paint colors.

Then, just let your imagination do its part of the work and you’ll be amazed at what it will come up with.

A simple color swap for your bathroom might be just the update you need!  The best part is that it’s super budget friendly - you can complete the project by yourself easily in just a weekend and with only about $50 worth of materials.
