  What color the bathroom is painted creates an immediate impression of the space. The paint tone sets the mood but also forms the backdrop for how you see yourself first thing in the morning. There are many shades to chose from in every color family. How the light reflects off the color makes a drastic difference in the appearance. Before making a final decision buy samples of the preferred colors and paint small strips on a portion of the bathroom wall. Live with it for a few days before choosing the perfect fit for the space. Whatever the selection, purchase the paint in an easy to clean durable finish able to withstand the bathroom humidity.
