My Orange Bathroom

The first thing that JB and I did when we moved into our house almost four and a half years ago was paint. We started with the first floor, turning the warm-hued rooms into cool living spaces. The kitchen had a cottage-like feel to it thanks to golden yellow walls but is now bright and airy in pale robin’s egg blue. Our living room and dining room were previously painted in a traditional taupe that we swapped for a more modern grey.

The one room we didn’t change was the powder room. Despite their preference for muted colors, the previous owners painted the small bathroom a bright tangerine — and it was love at first sight for me. I’m not typically one for loud or garish colors, but when tempered with soft white wainscoting, the orange walls of the powder room seemed to fit my style. In fact, they made me unreasonably happy!

I recently received a bottle of Method’s new White Nectarine Handwash Gel from their spring collaboration with Orla Kiely and immediately knew that the cheerful bottle would live in my orange bathroom. Plus, it also smells unbelievably delicious.

There’s no doubt that orange is happy color, but you may not feel inclined to paint a whole bathroom in such a bright shade. (Also, I wouldn’t recommend putting on makeup in a room with tangerine-colored walls!) In small doses, however, orange accents may be just what you need to put some pep in your powder room.
