Red color and bathroom size

- It is necessary to remember the impact of red on the psyche, and use it with caution in the design of small (up to 4 square) rooms. Its excess can cause fatigue or irritation, so it is better to use red on individual parts rather than on surfaces.

Room area
The bright range imposes some requirements on the area of the room to be finished, namely, it must exceed 6 square meters. meters.
A small red bathroom can simply “overwhelm” your psyche, so it’s not even worth implementing your ideas in a room less than six meters away.
But if the area of the room allows you to add a lot of scarlet shades to it, then why not take advantage of this opportunity.
The main thing is to choose the right lighting, and then the red walls will sparkle with interesting colors. According to most designers, the “purple” bathroom reveals itself only at a square of 12 meters.
Color combinations
The color red irritates and suppresses the nervous system, so a completely red bathroom interior will seem like a good choice to few people. Projects that use soft shades of red or combine it with other colors look much nicer.

Red and white bathrooms
A bathroom is a place for which cleanliness and neatness are important, which is why interiors made in white and blue (blue, turquoise) colors are so common. Such color solutions look calming; this is good in the evening, but in the morning there is no energy message.
The situation can be easily corrected by decorating a red and white bathroom. This option is considered traditional, but many find it boring. To avoid getting bored, choose not a simple “proletarian” color, but a more complex shade, for example, coral. Gray tiles on the floor will help to dilute the two-tone look.

The proportion of red and white can be shifted in both directions. If the dominant shade is a rich scarlet color, white is relegated to the role of an accent. In this option, accessories, plumbing fixtures, and furniture remain white. The light natural wood of the table and frame does not look alien; on the contrary, it softens the interior and makes it more pleasing to the eye.

If you switch the colors with roles, you get an interesting and calmer combination. The walls, floor and ceiling are finished entirely in white. The main thing is the decor, a fragment of a wall or plumbing. The result looks more elegant if part of the decoration is with floral patterns.
