If you’d like to refresh your bathroom without going through all the renovations that usually come with the process, a fresh coat of paint could be just what you need to transform your space. Whether you’re into light, dark or bright shades, we’ve rounded up the best bathroom paint colors for an easy makeover.
Revive your bathroom with spa-like hues such as HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams' 2025 Color of the Year, Quietude, or go for a more energetic feel with light pinks, emerald greens or playful yellows. No matter what color or style you choose, your space is bound to feel brand new. Play around with a more rustic feel and add wooden accents or go for a modern design with neutral colors and gold touches.
A small layout, like a powder room, is the perfect spot to experiment with color, too. "Powder rooms are the one area a guest is always alone in your home," says interior designer Mary Anne Smiley. "They will be considering all the details from dusty base boards, to cabinet design, to wall finish and decoration with a fine tooth comb. It's more important here to pay attention to details than anywhere else in the home!"
So if you're considering a bathroom refresh to impress guests, browse the best paint colors for every style. And while you're at it, don't forget to check out some inspiring bathroom decorating ideas to complete your setup.
