Pastel colours are bright and often have a warmer effect in the bathroom than the corresponding solid colours.
It might feel like a risk – and it is one – but bathrooms in mostly dark tones can look classy if done well.
Even if bathroom design trends are steadily moving away from white, the colour remains a timeless classic suggesting cleanliness.
Soft beige gives the bathroom a cosy effect.
