15 Colors That Will Turn Your Bathroom Into A Dark And Moody Oasis

Interior design trends constantly fluctuate, and it can sometimes feel frustrating to stay on top of what's in style. A few years ago, almost everyone desired all-white kitchens, for example, and while they're still popular, darker colors are taking the stage.

Most have previously thought that using dark colors would make a room feel crowded or smaller than it actually is. Because of this, dark colors were avoided by many homeowners. Often, it's been the goal to create a brighter and more airy feel to a room with light shades of cream, huge windows, and open floor plans. However, now cozier and darker colors are on trend, with homeowners turning to them to create dramatic and moody aesthetics.

Even for the bathroom. But you don't have to commit to a full-black look to take on this trend. You can start by introducing darker colors through elements, like a dark tile in the shower or an emerald green accent wall or a deep gray bathtub. Below, we take a look at 15 bathrooms that opt for a darker aesthetic, making use of grays and deep blues as well as green, black, and even orange to great effect.

Committing to a completely black bathroom can feel intimidating and might not suit your personal aesthetic. But trying it out and bringing a small amount of the dark color drama to your space is easy with an accent tile wall. Then, match it with some wooden details to bring in some warmth.

At first glance this bathroom might look very dark, but in reality it is only the walls and hardware that are dark colors.

Black and gray aren't the only dark colors available and this navy blue is stunning. While still dramatic, it's bright enough to keep the space light and suits the white sink and gray walls perfectly. 

The only thing in this bathroom that's dark are the walls. Everything else is a light brown or white and that makes the dark green pop. The raised panels on the wall also add interest and depth to the design. 

It might not be the first thing you think of when considering a moody bathroom, but a deep pink can look sharp with the right accents. This dark pink wall color with soft pink vanity is perfect for those looking for a unique and cozy bathroom. 

A red bathroom theme doesn't mean that every inch of the space needs to be red. Here, there is bold wallpaper with red details and deep red flooring to tie it together. The tile, tub, and vanity keep the space bright and allow you to explore a dark bathroom without committing to fully dark spaces.
