Brown bathroom: how to decorate

Brown is back — chocolate, cinnamon and caramel bring depth, warmth and luxury. It's the new neutral for anyone who finds beige too timid.

How brown works in the bathroom

In the bathroom, brown wood details and beige-brown tile give a warm, spa-like feel against white porcelain.

Keep in mind what's specific to this room: that tile and porcelain are fixed, so colour comes via textiles and detail. That decides how much colour can show and where it does the most good.

Colours that pair well with brown

Brown loves cream, off-white, beige and rust; a muted green or brass lifts it. Layer several browns for depth.

Materials and details

Leather, velvet, wood and linen are brown at its best; mix textures so it reads rich, not heavy.

The most common mistake

Running a single dark brown in a small room — it turns cave-like. Layer light and dark brown against bright surfaces.

See brown in the bathroom — before you paint

The hard thing about colour is that it looks completely different in different light and rooms. Instead of gambling on a tin of paint: upload a photo of the bathroom and type "repaint the bathroom in brown". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
