Next, choose a color that best suits the ambiance you want in your newly painted bathroom, either in warm or cool tones.

• WarmRed, orange, and yellow are warm colors. Recall how you feel around fireplaces and candlelight or when watching a sunset. These shades elicit warmth and coziness.
• CoolLike water and plants, blues and greens are calming and refreshing colors. Cool colors can make a room feel larger or more open. Additionally, earthy hues evoke a sense of tranquility.

Depending on what color you paint each wall and the ceiling, you can even change how the size of the bathroom looks! To make your bathroom appear larger or smaller, pay special attention to where you apply the paint.

• 
  Open the RoomPaint all walls and ceiling the same light color for an airy feel.
• 
  Enclose the RoomPaint all walls and ceiling a darker color to make a large room feel more intimate.
• 
  Higher CeilingPaint the ceiling lighter than the walls.
• 
  Lower CeilingPaint the walls lighter than the ceiling.
• 
  Wider SpacePaint the upper half of walls a darker color. White wainscoting can produce a similar effect.
• 
  Elongate the RoomA darker color on the focus wall and ceiling stretches out the space.

Finally, pick out your trim colors. Even small rooms have trim accents. Some options are:

• MatchPaint trim with the same paint as the wall. You can add some interest by using a satin sheen for the walls and a gloss sheen for the trim.
• ContrastUse a darker or lighter trim color than the walls. Lighter-colored trims can create an illusion of space, while darker-colored trim adds a sense of restraint.
• ComplementHarmonize the trim color with the fixtures. For instance, if you have chrome fixtures, a cool-toned trim goes well.
