WHITE TRENDS 2022

White is versatile in any home or room. If you are looking to add some pop to your bathroom, try adding an accent wall with a bolder shade of white. These swatches are perfect to let your personality shine through.

White shades like Creamy White, off-whites, Classic White, Crisp White and School House White are perfect colors of paint for bathrooms in 2022 because they brighten up the space and make it feel more airy and spacious. They also create a sense of calm and relaxation, which is perfect for a bathroom.

Creamy White: This color is often chosen because it is calming and can help to create a spa-like atmosphere in the bathroom.

DARK BATHROOM TRENDS 2022

Many people are afraid of dark shades, especially in the bathroom. However, dark shades can be a great way to add a touch of luxury and elegance to your bathroom. In particular, Moody Charcoal and Broody Black are top bathroom trends for 2022.

Moody Charcoal is a beautiful dark gray that will create a sophisticated and elegant look in your bathroom. It pairs well with white trim and fixtures, and it can be used for either traditional or modern interiors. It looks really great with matte black bathtubs!

GREEN TRENDS 2022

When it comes to bathroom design ideas, green is always a great choice. So, why is green such a huge bathroom trend in 2022? Well, the color green has been shown to help fight stress and anxiety. Studies have consistently shown that people who are surrounded by nature or exposed to nature’s colors experience lower levels of stress than those who do not experience the same exposure. Green is known for having a calming effect and can help work wonders in our bathrooms.

Laurel Tree by Behr:

When you’re looking for a green bathroom color, Laurel Tree from Behr is a great choice. This “greige” (grayish-green) has a hint of brown that makes it versatile and sophisticated enough to work in almost any room.

Emerald Green by Benjamin Moore:  

(2039-20)

Emerald Green is a great pick for those who want a cleaner green tone. This shade is also part of the “greige” trend because of its mix of gray and beige pigment. It’s dark enough to give your bathroom a luxurious feel, but light enough to keep it from feeling too heavy or overpowering.

Sage Green by Sherwin Williams:

When it comes to greens for bathrooms, pale or bright, there’s another brand you should keep in mind – Sherwin-Williams. Their color, labeled simply “grège” has become one of the most popular bathroom color trends due to its beautiful shade. This color is perfect for bathrooms that are more monochromatic with white or gray cabinets and furniture.

Breakfast Room Green by Behr:

Another great color for bathrooms (and kitchens) from Behr is the very light green called Breakfast Room Green. This shade of green works just as well on bathroom walls as it does on kitchen walls. In fact, the paint color has been paired with crisp white to create bathrooms that have an airy and modern feel. You could also add little pops of black or gold to enhance this light hue.

Minty Sage by Sherwin Williams:

If you’re looking for a deeper moss-like green, Minty Sage from Sherwin Williams may be the best bet. This beautiful tone resembles a cross between mint and sage – think along the lines of the color you see on a caterpillar. The deep green is well suited for bathrooms with dark cabinets or furniture and can also be combined with white accents to create a very spa-like atmosphere.

Spring Green by Behr:

This beautiful paint color definitely has old school charm and can be paired perfectly with white furniture to create that calming vibe that is perfect for any bathroom. It also looks amazing when paired with black or gold accessories, so be sure to try one of those combinations as well. Since it’s a low-luster finish, this paint color is ideal for your bathroom cabinets if you want to keep the natural wood grain visible.  

BLUE TRENDS 2022

There are many different shades of blue that can be used for bathrooms in 2022. Some of the most popular shades are Breezeway by Behr, Blue Baby, Nautical Navy, and Powder Blue. 

Breezeway by Behr is a peaceful light blue color that comes in an eggshell sheen. It is ideal for small bathroom spaces because it gives off a refreshing feeling while still looking clean. This light blue color also works well with white cabinets or dark wood cabinets to give more contrast without being too bold or obtrusive.

(MQ3-21)

Blue Baby is a classic paint color, which makes it very popular among homeowners who want something traditional without being too flashy or bold.

Blue Baby is known for its soothing qualities so it’s ideal for smaller spaces where people want to relax after a long day.

(BM 2056-50)

Nautical Navy is a soft navy color that has little bits of blue to make it lighter without making the room look cold or depressing. It’s ideal for bathrooms with blue accents, such as bathroom rugs, curtains, and towels.

(Valspar WV41007)

Powder Blue is also another great option for bathrooms because it gives the sense of being fresher than other shades of blue. When paired with white wood cabinets or white marble tile floors, this adds an airy effect to the bathroom space.

PINK TRENDS 2022

Interior designers are more likely to choose soft pastels for bathroom colors because they don’t absorb too much light, which means that the room will not be overly dark and you’ll still be able to see in it. This is an important feature for a bathroom as people need to be able to see themselves clearly in front of the mirror when they have finished getting ready.

Poppy Pink, Cotton Candy and Bubblegum are perfect bathroom paint colors in 2022 because they are soft, calming colors that will help to create a relaxing environment in the bathroom. In addition to being the perfect color choices for softening up a small space, they also pair very well with most bathroom interior design styles.

EARTHY COLOR TRENDS 2022

In 2022, people are looking for bathroom paint colors that make the room feel more like home. Earthy shades can be a great way to go for this, as they can create a warm and relaxing feeling in the room. One color that is perfect for this is Terracotta, as it has a natural and warm appearance that can help to make the bathroom feel more comfortable.

If you’re looking for a modern and sophisticated look, consider using stylish wood panels on the walls

CONCLUSION:

It is important to keep in mind that there are many bathroom paint colors to choose from and they all come with their own unique designs.

Bathroom paint color choices can vary greatly depending on the style, age and size of your home. It’s true that the bathroom paint colors you choose in 2022 will have a huge influence on how you perceive a place, but it should always be balanced with practical aspects such as how much time you spend in this room or if other elements exist within the room which might make the final decision more complicated.
