Neutral Bathroom Decorating Ideas & Cream Coloured Cabinets / Vanity

For a neutral bathroom, adding pops of colour in furniture is an ideal way of adding brightness and personality without overwhelming the space.  For cohesive designs, add in a cream-coloured vanity – add in terracotta pots and plants to create an earthy, nature-inspired feel.

Bathroom Paint Beige and Coordinating Fixtures

When choosing bathroom paint beige colours, you need to consider the undertones and shade. The Paint Centre’s (part of the N&C group) Colour Expert Georgina Childs suggests, ‘You really must consider your space before choosing a paint, it’s not as simple as just liking a sample you see. A beige can change shade depending on room size, natural light, light bulb choice etc.’

For a balanced interior, consider matching your neutral tones across furniture and paint, or even pairing furniture in a dark shade of beige. Pair your bathroom paint with complementary taps, mirrors and furniture. This can also include a contrast colour to beige, like black furniture and matt taps to create a contemporary aesthetic that is still timeless.

If you’ve taken inspiration from the earthy-toned colour scheme trend but still want to keep a neutral colour scheme, add in terracotta pots and wood effect furniture.
