Classic White
White is a classic choice that doesn’t go old. While it can be tempting to gravitate to fixtures in trendy colors, keep in mind that these can become dated quite quickly. Remember the powdered blue and pastel pink tubs and toilets that used to be a popular choice? If you love color and want to incorporate it into your bathroom, consider using color on pieces like the faucet or decorative items that are much easier to change down the line if the color starts to look outdated, especially if you plan to sell your home in the near future.
