Choosing a wall colour on its own misses what sits above, below and beside it. In our Westhill shower room, blue painted upper walls sit with pale vinyl flooring and custom cupboards. The long sliding-door enclosure is another substantial element in the same view.
For your room, review the paint, flooring and furniture colours together before deciding. Then consider how much of each will be visible from the doorway and at the basin. Try each colour at the height it will occupy and see how it changes where the light is stronger or weaker. A colour used above the fittings has a different presence from the same colour on every wall. This comparison helps you choose a balance you will enjoy during everyday use, with the storage and washing areas treated as part of one room.
