White bathroom: how to decorate

White is the brightest base there is — it opens rooms up, reflects daylight and lets everything else show. The secret is texture, or it turns sterile.

How white works in the bathroom

In the bathroom, white tile is forever in style — texture through tile format, wood and greenery keeps it alive.

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 white

White goes with everything, but comes alive against wood, black for contrast and one muted accent. Warm whites feel cosy, cool whites sharp.

Materials and details

Wood, linen, wool and rattan save white from feeling bare; matte surfaces are warmer than glossy.

The most common mistake

An all-white room with no texture or warmth turns clinical. Mix white tones and add natural materials.

See white 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 white". In a minute you'll see the result in your own light — and can try several shades before deciding.
