Bathroom Colour Schemes
A typical colour scheme for a bathroom focuses on marine colours. These are predominantly white, blue and pale green. Blends of colours such as different shades of blue and turquoises combine together well to create a seaside scene and make for a very relaxing room, great for providing a refreshing start to the day when bathing.
Subtle splashes of grey and pale blue can be used to break up a scheme and bring variety to a room. Matching accessories can be used to compliment the scheme or continue the pattern in plain areas. For example, if you have an area of your room that is predominantly white you can add blue or green accessories or a line of tiles to break it up and add variety.
Colours Used in Kitchens
Depending on which way your kitchen faces will determine how much sun you receive during the day. Effective colour schemes can be used to your advantage to add more warmth to a room. Colours such as earthy reds and browns and terracotta will help to add more warm colouring to your kitchen.
Many people now choose to add splash backs to their kitchen to provide an easy to clean surface for collecting excess water and spills from food. These features are available in a range of colours that can either compliment or add variety to a room. Many people choose white tiles to bring more light into a dark corner or alcove. However white surfaces are susceptible to streaking and being stained by greasy marks. This makes them higher maintenance as they will require more work to keep them clean.
