Ideal for a child's bathroom, this is a daring choice for a bathroom cabinet. Willing to break with safe neutrals and inject a favorite bold color into a room instead these homeowners made a brave choice and it paid off. This would be less successful if there were competing colors or elements in the space. But since the room has an otherwise restrained color palette and it's not overly decorated or cluttered it works well. The next step up is experimenting with colored tiles (and matching doorknobs, of course). This is an example of a contemporary kids bathroom with an under-mount sink, shaker cabinets, white cabinets, green tile and glass tile. Crisp, clean and bold. Color saturation is used to describe the intensity of color in the image. A saturated color is often deemed overly bright. Deep, rich colors will make a room feel instantly exotic. The intense blue paint and dark wooden accents give this bathroom some serious jungle fever, reinforced by the stone basin on its chunky base and fun leaf arrangement. Saturated colors, especially bright pink, purple, or turquoise say "Mexico" without screaming "MEXICO!" It's the swaying palms and cobbled streets, minus the tequila shooters at SeƱor Frogs.
