1. Choose your style

Deciding on a theme or style for your bathroom is your first step. Do you envision a romantic bathroom, or a garden retreat? Maybe you love the idea of a regal or Victorian powder room that boasts luxury, from the facilities, to the faucets and fixtures, to the linens. Choosing your theme will help you decide on accessories, linens, even flooring and wall paint.

2. Paint choices

Your theme will help to dictate certain hues of purple that work to create that theme. For instance, pastel shades of purple are best used for romantic or garden themes. If you are all about a regal or luxurious look, deep, dark and rich purple hues give the bathroom a high end, luxurious appeal. Color coordinates that are often seen with purple are black, white, yellow, pink, even sage. Black and purple, or white and purple are great combinations for a modern look, yellow and sage work well when pastel purples are used, and pink can add to a romantic or garden theme.

3. Add accents

Accents help to complete a purple bathroom. Window treatments, towels and linens, wall art, accents for the counters and even tiling and floor coverings, are all ways to incorporate purple and coordinating colors into the bathroom, to complete the look. A stained glass window can be functional and decorative. It can help to create more privacy, yet give an elegant look. A vase of white flowers on the counter is a great way to give a dramatic look against rich purple walls. Black and white checked tile helps to create a monochromatic look in a more modern bathroom theme.

4. Update fixtures

You can update your bathroom fixtures to help finish a purple themed bathroom and add to the style you are trying to create. For instance, a pedestal sink works well in a garden or romantic style bathroom, while a round or squared-off, top-of-counter sink looks great in a modern themed bathroom. Your lighting fixtures are also details that will help to give your purple bathroom a finished look. Wall sconces, a chandelier, or recessed lighting are all lighting possibilities to consider, and choices will depend on your theme, budget and style.
