A few coats of paint can easily transform any room. That said, when it comes to bathrooms, many people stick with classic color schemes like clean whites, soft grays or timeless combos like black and white. But perhaps, nothing is quite as fitting as the color blue, often associated with calm and tranquility. For that reason, browse these inspiring blue bathrooms to give your space a spa-worthy upgrade.

From navy and baby blue to midnight and sky, there are a number of beautiful blues that you can incorporate into your bathroom's design, whether big or small. Play up the feeling of relaxation in the already soothing space by painting the walls in a light blue or installing peel-and-stick wallpaper that exudes a similar softness. Or if you'd rather make a single blue statement, consider lining the bathtub with teal tile, painting the vanity in an eye-catching hue or simply, dotting the shelves with vibrant decorative accents. No matter you're looking for, get all the inspiration you need by scrolling through the designs below.
