31 Blue Bathrooms That Will Relax and Recharge You

If you want to incorporate color into your bathroom design, look no further than shades of blue. The color of water is a natural fit for a room built around its role in keeping us clean, healthy, and refreshed.

Soothing, relaxing, and evocative of sea and sky, blue can be paired with white paint or fixtures for a timeless coastal color combination that will transport you to the Aegean or the California coast. But blue can range from light and airy to deep and moody to energizing and electric depending on the shade and the dose.

Check out these blue bathrooms that illustrate how versatile this crowd-pleasing color can be to design a bathroom you'll enjoy spending time in for years to come.
