The catch? They wanted to use only dark blue, and I almost panicked — done wrong, dark tones can make a small space feel like a cave. But that project taught me something important: small spaces can push you to be more creative than you thought possible, and dark blue can actually make a bathroom feel luxurious and cocoon‑like when balanced well. That’s exactly what I’m going to share with you today — 10 ideas to nail the look without drowning in gloom. One of my favorite tricks came from testing designs on a room planner before committing to any paint.1. Go Monochrome with DepthInstead of mixing too many colors, try layering different shades of blue. Navy tiles with a slightly lighter cobalt wall can add depth. The trick is to break it up with metallic accents or crisp white fixtures so it doesn't feel overwhelming.save pin2. Moody Feature WallA single wall in dark blue hex tiles can become the focal point of the bathroom. It works wonders behind a freestanding bathtub. The rest of the room can stay neutral, giving you drama without commitment to full‑dark walls.save pin3. Dark Blue & Brass AccentsI once paired deep blue vanity cabinets with brushed brass taps, and the result was pure elegance. Just be ready for more frequent polishing — metals show water marks quickly.save pin4. Play with TextureGlossy blue subway tiles and a matte navy painted wall create a tactile contrast. Using a free-floor-plan-creator helps visualize how textures will interact with lighting in your real space.save pin5. Half‑Paint WallsPainting only the lower half of the wall dark blue and keeping the top white can make the room feel taller. It’s a smart move for bathrooms with lower ceilings.save pin6. Dark Blue Ceiling for DramaSounds risky, but in a powder room it can be magical. Pair with plenty of light fixtures to avoid a “shrinking” effect.save pin7. Marine‑Inspired AccessoriesIf you’re not ready for full commitment, bring in deep blue towels, a bath mat, or storage baskets. The bonus? You can easily swap them out for a seasonal refresh.save pin8. Statement Tiles in the ShowerA walk‑in shower with navy herringbone tiles and glass doors feels modern yet cozy. Designing this in a kitchen-layout-planner might sound odd, but the layout tools are perfect for bathrooms too.save pin9. Mix Dark Blue with Natural WoodWood brings warmth to balance the coolness of blue. Think oak vanity or teak shower stool — it softens the mood instantly.save pin10. Art & Dark Blue BackdropHang framed nautical prints or abstract art on a deep blue wall. Suddenly, your bathroom feels gallery‑worthy. Just make sure frames are moisture‑resistant.save pinFAQQ: Will dark blue make my bathroom look smaller?A: Only if you use it without balance.
