How to Decorate a Bathroom With Navy Blue and Turquoise

Navy blue and turquoise conjure images of sky and tranquil tropical seas; organic blues that can mix, harmonize and contrast all in the same moment. Whether you’re starting from scratch and you plan on installing coloured fixtures or shingles, or you’re working on a redecorating project that will not break the bank, do not be scared to combine hues of blues in a monochromatic color scheme. Splash them around in a big way, or add them as attachment and accent pieces. Experiment with zaps of contrasting shades that could pull together the colours you choose.

Room Size

One benefit to decorating a toilet is a large portion of the space is occupied by the fittings. The fixtures split the space so that the room doesn’t have large expanses of shade. Overuse of dark colours can make a small room seem even smaller. A white ceiling and garnish add a tidy brightness to affluent blue colors; whitened assists moderate intense hues of navy and turquoise and balances the resizing illusion.

Light Sources

Organic light plays with hues of blue as the afternoon progresses, so design the shade placement in your toilet by studying tile, fabric and paint swatches at different times of the day and check the same colours under artificial light too. If you’re installing tile, experimentation with different grout colours. Grout can brighten, darken, mix or accentuate different aspects of the tile. Even if the room has a lot of natural lighting during the day, you will want ample illumination in the night. In addition to ambient lighting, install glare-free lighting fixtures over the sink or vanity. Arrange the shade placement so that recessed lighting will not have blue overtones that interfere with applying makeup or alternative jobs.

Existing Fixtures

The most frequent colour for existing tubs and bathrooms is white. Any shade goes with white, so if that’s what you’re working with, plan liberal use of the blues on the walls and floor. Use related colors within the navy-to-turquoise selection, including cool teals and affluent peacock blue. Colored fixtures also work with navy and turquoise. Black or gray adds a usable, no-nonsense feel, while neutral browns and toned-down greens can make an earthy atmosphere. Even vintage pink fixtures from the 1960s could be accentuated with sapphire blue jewel-tone accents.

Decorating Themes

Navy and turquoise shades offer the ideal combinations to get a nautical or coral themed toilet. As colours of the sea, they complement ocean prints that are readily available on wallpaper, borders and textile accessories. For a formal or stylized bathroom — in a home with Southwestern decor, like — turquoise and navy are traditional colours that tie along terra-cotta, wood and sand tones. You may also utilize light or light dusty shades of those colours to encourage relaxation in a spa-like bathroom setting, or use clear, intense shades to energize your morning routine.
