Teal Bathroom Ideas

Use as an Accent

• If your bathroom features plain white walls and tile, you can use teal accents to add dimension to the space. For a simple makeover, add a teal curtain to the shower and window. A teal throw rug and towels can also liven up a white bathroom. For a striking look, hang a mirror with a teal mosaic frame above the sink or install mosaic floor tile with a teal pattern. You can also add teal border tiles to your shower surround to give the area a more decorative look.

Balance With Pattern

• Teal walls can sometimes feel too bright in a bathroom because it is usually a small space. However, you can balance the bold look of teal walls with classic patterns in traditional color combinations. A black and white checkerboard tile floor can help give a bathroom with teal walls a more elegant, sophisticated look. You can add a black and white tile pattern to the shower surround as well. If you prefer a more whimsical look, buy a black and white striped or polka dotted shower curtain. A funky zebra print for the shower curtain or window treatments may also help balance out teal walls.

Pair With Other Blues

• You can transform your bathroom into a relaxing retreat by combining teal with other shades of blue. Cool shades like blue are very soothing, so you’ll enjoy taking a bath at the end of a long day in your teal and blue bathroom. If your tub and shower surround feature teal tile, you can paint the walls indigo or royal blue. Add light blue towels and window treatments, and find a shower curtain that features teal and other shades of blue to help tie the room’s look together. If you are designing a new bathroom, select a mosaic tile design for the shower surround that features teal and other blue shades for a shimmering, eye-catching look.

Mix Teal With Brown

• Teal and brown is a classic color combination that can give your bathroom a sophisticated look. Because a bathroom is a smaller space, use teal as the room’s main color to maintain a bright, spacious feel. Add brown accent tiles to the shower surround, and use a brown tile for the flooring and countertop. For the towels, window treatments and shower curtain, look for a pattern that incorporates both teal and brown. A floral design is an attractive option because it adds a delicate detail to an otherwise strong look.
