Forget the occasional spa outing—there’s no better way to treat yourself than by giving your far-more-frequented home bathroom a bona fide facelift. Sure, a backsplash is fun. And of course, a few trendy touches or a luxurious tub can take your space to the next level. But the true showstopper of any well-designed bathroom is a bold and brilliant paint shade.
A heavy-toned teal sets the stage for a moody space, as designer Pierre Gonalons boldly brandished in this eclectic Paris apartment. A preppy pop of high-gloss aubergine acts as an ideal backdrop for ELLE DECOR A-List designer Katie Ridder’s client’s black-and-white photography collection in this color-drenched Manhattan remodel. Even the right neutral—see Marc Valeanu’s layered bathroom, awash in Farrow & Ball’s lilac-undertoned Dove Tale—can sometimes be the furthest cry from the default flat white paint job in most bathrooms.
