Design Your Bathroom Around Your Seasonal Color Palette
You dress for your season, why not design for it too?
Color analysis is everywhere right now. From TikTok to personal stylists, people are discovering the power of dressing in their seasonal color palette, and loving how much more polished, confident, and themselves they feel.
But here’s a twist: your palette doesn’t have to stop at your closet. You can bring it right into your bathroom, where you get ready each morning and wind down at night. Designing your space in the shades that flatter you most? That’s not just style, it’s self-care.
What’s a Seasonal Color Palette?
Seasonal color palettes group people by their natural coloring, skin tone, hair, eyes, and assign a range of colors that complement those features. You’ve got:
- Spring – Warm, clear, and bright
- Summer – Cool, soft, and muted
- Autumn – Warm, rich, and earthy
- Winter – Cool, deep, and high-contrast
Let’s explore how each season can inspire stunning bathroom color schemes.
Spring
Warm + Clear + Light
Springs look incredible in fresh, sunny shades like peach, cream, golden beige, and mint.
