Choosing the colours and finishes for a bathroom makeover in your Gold Coast home can feel overwhelming, with numerous options available. The good news is that the experts at Varli Builders can guide you through the process and help you select a colour palette and finish that reflect your sense of style and the mood you wish to create in your new dream bathroom.
Choosing The Colour Palette
The first step is to establish a clear vision of what you are hoping to achieve with your bathroom makeover. Are you thinking of a calm sanctuary like a high-end spa, or would you like an energising or sophisticated space?
- Natural lighting: Dark rooms will benefit from the use of lighter colours, while overly bright rooms can be toned down with deeper, warmer shades.
- Size: Light colours can make a small bathroom seem larger and more airy, while darker ones can help make a large bathroom feel warmer and more cosy.
- Existing elements: If you plan to keep some of the existing fixtures, it is important to consider their colour and style when choosing your new look.
- Your preferences: Take some time to work out what style you prefer. Do you like modern, classic, beach vibes or minimalistic? This will help you narrow down your options to create the perfect new bathroom.
To get you started, here are some of our favourite colour combinations:
- Neutrals and naturals, such as whites, off-whites, greys, or warm, earthy tones, for a clean and timeless look.
- Beachy light blues and greens, such as aqua and teal or sage and mint, can be calming and serene.
- Dramatic and bold deep blues, greens, black or charcoal for modern sophistication and luxury.
Choosing Finishes and Materials
Choose the materials and finishes for the fixed elements of your new bathroom first. These permanent items are more difficult and expensive to replace. This includes items such as tiles (for floors and walls), a bath, a basin and a toilet.
Tiles come in many sizes, textures and patterns that will each create a different look. Countertops can be made of laminate, engineered stone or natural stone. Cabinetry can be timber or feature textured finishes, depending on your chosen style.
Plumbing fittings should be next on your list. Choose from:
- Chrome or polished nickel
- Brushed nickel or stainless steel
- Matte black
- Brass or gold
