These Unexpected Bathroom Colors Are on Trend

Do you want to take on a home project but don’t want to deal with the headache (and cost) of a major home improvement project or renovation? Giving your bathroom a small refresh could be a more budget-friendly way to spruce up a highly-trafficked area. If a fresh coat of paint is on your mind, you might be surprised to learn the top-searched bathroom colors for this year so far.


Based on Google search results, burgundy is the top-searched bathroom shade this year, experiencing a surge of 300% in the early months of 2021. However, a full burgundy bathroom can easily overpower a space, transforming your bathroom into the opposite of the relaxing haven. Try a feature wall or incorporate burgundy in a softer way, opt for strategically placed key accessories such as a bath mat and towels to add a pop of this trending shade.


Mint green is also seeing a huge soar, seeing a whopping 200% increase in 2021. Though mint hues might harken back to retro bathrooms from the ‘60s and ‘70s, it’s easy to incorporate in fresh, modern ways. Mint creates an invigorating and uplifting bathroom. Focus on the flooring and window dressings, which will allow the tone to bounce around the room. Mint

green subway tiles on walls or green patterned mosaic tiles on floors can both complement a classic white suite beautifully.


There has been a 116% spike in searches for black bathrooms, especially when paired with whites and metallic shades. Black can be the perfect statement color in a bathroom and works well in both sleek, modern spaces and traditional period properties. It is great with brighter tones, such as white. When using black, try sticking to monochromatic shades of black, white, and grey tones to really embrace the theme.


Will you be trying any of these colors in your bathroom?
