Gone are the days when bathrooms were dreary, functional rooms, consisting of only a flush toilet, kept well away from the main houses. For several decades now, bathrooms have entered the house — and they are here to stay.
Nowadays, bathrooms are bigger and better than ever. The puritan notions of bathrooms as impure, filthy places are gone. Today, they are a place of relaxation, luxury, and enjoyment.
Take a look at some of the best styles for primary bathrooms in our gallery.

Blue Color Schemes
Blue is cool color that can be easily paired with other colors to create a really great color scheme. It looks good with other cool colors, neutrals and even warm colors. The different color combinations each give off different vibes.
Blue with Neutral Colors
This color combination works well together and can be used for both big and small spaces. Pale blue, and white work for small spaces because they create the feeling of being light and airy. While black and gray help to create depth and ground all the colors.
For a more modern look, try pairing bright blue and black together. Typically when you use a darker shade of blue, the overall temperature feeling in the room seems cooler, but combined with light neutrals such as white or beige, you’ll prevent that cold feeling.
Blue and Cool Colors
When you combine two cool colors together, such as blue and green or even blue and purple, you create feelings of calmness and relaxation. If you want your primary bathroom to feel like a peaceful getaway, then any of these cool colors combined together are great for that.
Blue and Warm Colors
You can combine blue with contrasting colors such as red, yellow or orange for a bold revitalizing design. Bright warm colors on their own can seem intense and sometimes overactive but you can pair them with a dark calming blue for a great combination.
This color scheme works well together if you are looking to create a more cozy and intimate feeling in your bathroom.
