During a home renovation, the smallest spaces are often the trickiest to put together—including deciding on your bathroom cabinet paint color. While this room is compact, it’s critical. That’s why N-Hance is here to help with a few expert tips.
By following these simple rules of thumb, you can complete your home renovation and bring each space to life.
The Size
Take a moment to consider the features of your bathroom—whether it be small, large, dark, or full of natural light. The layout, size, and amount of light in your bathroom will have a big impact on your cabinet color selection.
Keep in mind that dark cabinets make tight spaces feel even smaller. On the other hand, a light cabinet color can help open up the space and make it feel larger.
The Flooring
Also consider if your flooring is light, dark, or somewhere in between. Contrast between cabinets and flooring can be a beautiful design element. For example, consider pairing white cabinets with espresso wood floors or cream tile with rich, stained cabinets.
The Countertops
The typical countertop materials in bathrooms are quartz, granite, and concrete. While some are one color, many are multi-tonal. It’s important to consider all the flecks of color in your countertops when selecting your cabinet color.
The Wall Color
When choosing your cabinet color, it’s important to coordinate it with your current or future wall color for your renovation. The good news is, repainting walls is fairly simple, so you can always change it to better match your cabinets.
Additional Considerations When Painting Bathroom Cabinets
Here are a few other tips to keep in mind when selecting your cabinet paint color:
Choose A Classic Color
If you’re having trouble deciding or need to make a quick selection, go with a neutral color like cream or white. These shades are classic and endure the test of time no matter the size, shape, or decor of a space.
Go Bold
For bathrooms with a more modern design, try a bright, contrasting tone. While loud, bright colors may not work well in a kitchen, they can typically be pulled off better in small bathroom spaces.
Remember The Paint Sheen
When choosing your cabinet paint color, remember the sheen. Most paints come in an eggshell finish, but you’ll need to be aware that a satin finish will look different once applied.
Keep The Future In Mind
Even if you don’t plan on selling your home any time soon, keep future buyers in mind when choosing your bathroom cabinet color. Neutral shades like ivory or white appeal to a wide range of people and preferences, while more bold colors could turn buyers off.
Stay Consistent With The Overall Style Of Your Home
Consider your style preference when choosing the color for your bathroom cabinets. Your bathroom should be cohesive with the design of the rest of your home, whether that be classic, modern, or somewhere in between.
Choose What You Like
Take the tips above into consideration, but ultimately, choose what you love. Design rules or trends are there to help you along the way, but you don’t have to follow them strictly. What matters most is that you love the end result, and N-Hance can help you get there.
