Little Touches to Add Colour to Your Bathroom

Your bathroom is your sanctuary, the place you go to unwind and recharge after a long day. But sometimes, all that bright white space can feel a little cold. If you’re after some ways to add colour to your bathroom and refresh your routine, you’re in the right place. 

We believe that even the smallest details can make the biggest difference. Renowned for our luxurious Christy towels, it’s our little touches that can help to bring vibrancy to your bathroom. 

Ditch your drab towels and upgrade your space with help from our experts below. 

Why bathroom colour designs matter 

One of the most important rooms in your home, your bathroom, deserves nothing less than a touch of luxury. While the functionality of your bathroom is important, it also needs to have that elegant, spa-like touch that is appealing to you and your guests. One of the best ways to upgrade your bathroom is by adding a touch of colour. 

There is actually some psychology behind the colour you choose for your bathroom. Colours can subtly influence your mood, energy levels, and overall mental well-being. For example, stepping into a brightly lit, cheerful space can immediately improve your mood, while a deep, soothing space can help to calm you down before bed. 

True elegance lies in the details. We’re not saying that a full makeover is necessary, but there are some little touches you can make to brighten up your bathroom. 

Simple ways to add colour to your bathroom: Our expert tips

Switch up your accessories 

One of the easiest yet effective ways to add fun and vibrancy to your bathroom is to add small touches of colour here and there. If your space is a clean canvas of light grey or white, think of your accessories as bold brushstrokes. Now is your chance to discover new colour ways. If you usually opt for calming, serene blues, why not try a pop of brightness with one of our purple towels? Or, for a monochrome look, our black towels are bold and design-worthy. Most of our products are available in a variety of rich jewel tones that will match your bathroom decor perfectly. 

Make sure you’re matching two or three accessories in the same striking shade. A coloured toothbrush holder, a bright candle, and a trinket dish all in the same tone can tie the whole look together without feeling overwhelming. 

Go green with plants 

We couldn’t dive into colours for a bathroom without mentioning nature’s colour palette. Bringing greenery into your bathroom is one of the most effective ways to inject a little touch of colour into your morning and evening routines. Plants also add a spa-like feel and can instantly make you feel more awake and fresh. 

Bathrooms are the perfect environment for plants to thrive in because they offer high humidity and low light. Ferns, snake plants, and peace lilies are great options as they will thrive in this sort of environment.  

You can also pick a colourful pot. A rich mustard yellow or a deep sapphire blue will beautifully contrast with the leaves and add a pop to your corner or windowsill. 

Upgrade your textiles 

The largest block of colour and texture in your bathroom will be your textiles. Upgrading these luxury essentials is a great way to introduce a colour shift and truly transform the personality of your bathroom. 

Refresh your towel rail - Instead of viewing your towel collection as purely practical, see your Christy towels as a design feature. Swap out your old, faded linens for our bright and fresh towel bundles. In particular, our Supreme Bath Indulgence set comes in a refined palette of opulent jewel tones. 

Don’t forget about the bath mat - A well-chosen bath mat or rug can be the vibrant anchor of your bathroom’s colour scheme. In particular, our Signum Terry Bath Mat has been crafted with the finest cotton yarns and feels incredibly velvety on your feet. We’d recommend our vivid teal or azure blue colour ways. 

The robe edit - Don’t let your gorgeous Christy bathrobe stay hidden. Hanging a soft robe on the back of your bathroom door immediately adds a large invitation to comforting colour and texture. Plus, it’s the perfect thing to cosy into after a long, relaxing soak. Don’t forget you can match the whole family by shopping our irresistibly cute baby robes. 

Make your shower stand out

A shower or bath is the main focus of any bathroom. If you don’t have the time or effort to renovate your bathroom entirely, you can simply use a striking pattern or print on one wall of your shower. Tiles are also a great way to add unique style or patterns to your bathroom. They add interest right away without significantly changing the rest of your bathroom, especially if you keep it a fairly neutral colour.  

Beyond this, accents are the simplest way to add colour to your shower area. It can be anything as straightforward as a shower curtain in a vivid colour or quirky wall art. To create a more visually striking impact, make sure to repeat the colours used in your neutral bathroom more than once. This will add cohesion and make everything feel complete.
