Low contrast colour schemes are the secret to a simple but effective bathroom design — here's how to get the look

Colour is reigning supreme in bathrooms as of late, but being brave with bold colours might be a step too far for many of us. Neutral bathroom colour schemes have long been the popular choice for a wash space, creating a serene atmosphere to relax in. However, colour has powerful benefits to our wellbeing, and utilising it in a small room is a great way to experiment.

A low-contrast colour scheme is the perfect solution to bridging the gap between a colourful interior and a more pared-back ambience. Rather than opting for pops of colour that have a distinct variation from lighter shades in the space, a low contrast design is all about choosing colours that are more similar in tone.
