Painting a Bold Blue Bathroom

I've been doing a lot of painting this Spring... it seems like everybody is ready to freshen up their digs.

One of the biggest transformations so far has been in this bathroom, which went from bland beige to bold blue. The color is "Indigo Batik" by Sherwin Williams.

The deep color really sets off the white trim and vanity, making even the untouched parts of the room look crisp and new.

I've found that painting walls a dark blue like this doesn't make the room look smaller, It even looks good in little half-baths. Maybe it's because blue is a cool color that recedes from the eye.

By the way, the best time to hire a professional painter is when you're planning to use dark colors against light ones, like with this room's trim and ceiling. It's crucial to be able to cut in a smooth line, because the contrast makes any mistakes immediately obvious.

If you have a tricky painting job that needs a steady hand, why not have a pro do it? We'll leave a smooth line every time.
