Should bedroom paint color be the same as adj. bath paint color?

12 years ago

Hello All! I'm building a house and generally post over at the building or kitchen forums. I have a question that I'd love to hear from the decorating pros on, please: All of our bedrooms have adjoining, private baths. Should the paint wall color match in both rooms, since they are connected, or is it fine to have the bedroom one color and the bathroom a different color? For my master it won't be hard to choose one color for both, but for my kids' rooms and baths, that may be a little challenging! Thanks for any advice!

My master bath and bedroom get different natural lighting so I didn't use the same color for the walls (bath is very bright; bedroom much less so). However, I used neutral paint colors and I coordinate decor colors.

Its nice if the colors "go" together, but they need not match.

Yep!

But, if you really WANT them matched, that's fine too.

Okay, thanks! I have one son that wants his room his old room color, BM Cumulus Cloud. Unfortunately the granite in his bath is quite a bit more "yellowy" than Cumulus Cloud. Gallo Venizio or something... Hmmm... two shades of greige/beige okay? Just think it would look odd to paint a bath with cherry cabinets and a yellow-toned granite BLUE, but that's what he wants! Oh well...
