How To Nail The Monochromatic Color Scheme In Bathrooms Like A Pro – There’s a lot to consider when choosing a single color scheme for your home. Especially when talking .about the bathrooms. The first thing we think is Will it look good? And more important Will it make you look good? Are you going to hate it? What will professional designers think of it? There are no guarantees in this crazy color game, but one thing’s for sure: Choosing a single color is certainly easier than trying to combine two (or more) together.
The ease of employing a monochromatic color scheme may explain why searches for the decorating style are up 115 percent in Pinterest’s spring home trend report.
Here’s how designer Sasha Bikoff nailed the monochromatic look in one Manhattan bedroom, and how you can, too.

> Start with the carpet
“I like to set the tone of the color palette for a room with the carpet,” Bikoff says. “You can deconstruct the colors in the carpet and spread them around the room.”
> Consider the mood
Once you have selected your ground color — in this case, an African violet found in the carpet, pillows, vanity chair, and stools — you can build a palette upon that, she says, explaining how she brought in softer complimentary colors like lavender, grey, and white: “A deeper and brighter purple is a bold statement, especially for a bedroom, but when you enter the lavender color field you get a more tranquil, calming effect. Lavender and light purples have silvery and blue tones within them that are very soothing to the mind’s eye.”
> Placement is key
Bikoff suggests using the more calming, softer shades on large surfaces like the walls and the ceiling, and saving the brighter hues for smaller, more whimsical pieces that you want to stand out. The heart-shaped vanity chairs in this space are upholstered in the same purple cashmere fabric used on the chrome and brass stools. A white dresser and neutral white bedding break up the purple colors and give your eye a break. “However, the small purple accents at the border are key to blend all of these elements together,” she adds.
> Put your mirrors to work
Bikoff, who is also a classically trained painter, believes every color has a place. “I love all color, and believe that there is a time and place and tone for each of them,” she says. When it doubt, “revert to nature and see all of the different colors that look so beautiful together,” she suggests.
