Bachy bathroom: Resene

Bathrooms are a unique space. They’re one of those places that don’t need to match or coordinate with the other rooms in your house – which makes them ripe for having some real fun with decorating.

One way to go about coming up with your look is to create a theme. Nature is a great place to seek inspiration if you’re looking for an idea that will appear to everyone who may be using your bathroom, regardless of their age or gender.

Plus, tropical plants have been a massive trend over recent years – with potentially no variety more popular than the highly-recognisable monstera, so you likely won’t struggle with finding décor to coordinate with your design if you look to this motif.

Rather than sticking to typical earthy greens for the basis of your bathroom colour palette, put a playful twist on it with refreshing blues, cloudy greys and pretty pinks.

The walls of this bathroom are in Resene Longitude, a chalky and soft pastel grey blue that’s particularly easy on the eyes and lends itself well to being paired up with a range of other colours. Floorboards in paler Resene Midwinter Mist add even more neutrality to the base of the room, leaving room to have more fun with statement accent colours.

Since small bathrooms are often short on counter space, this bathroom has a painted peg stool in Resene Streetwise that can be moved about the room to wherever and whenever it’s needed.
